Coastal Vacation

Our vacation wasn't intended to be a tour of our favorite coastal cities but it turned out that way. The first stop being Charleston were we met up with Aaron who was there on work. The kids and I meandered in downtown while Aaron finished his day and then went to dinner at a local restaurant we enjoy. On the way back to the car we stopped at the fire station so the kids could say hello and get a tour of the truck.
 
Grayson would have happily stayed in the truck and spent the night there. Firemen are great...Fire trucks are AWESOME!
I'm cute and I know it look.


 
After a night in Charleston we headed to the Grandparents in Ridgeland to kick off summer over the Memorial Day weekend. Much of the weekend was spent on the water in Uncle's (that's what C called him all weekend) boat. It was pure bliss being with family and putting my feet back in the water!! Aaron and I got to sneak in a date night to celebrate our 7th Wedding Anniversary too!

Carrington being Carrington spent most of her time in the water.
Little Hudson has found his water feet too.
He's not the biggest fan of the float but will stay
in the water for hours if you hold him.
Sun, Sand, and Water can make one ready for a nap.

Nothing like a good sand pie in your mouth!
The kids!
 

A hard day at play makes for hungry bellies!
 
 
The kids and I stayed at the grandparents for the week while Aaron worked. We kept busy going to the Beaufort Waterfront Park one day, downtown Savannah another day, and of course swimming in Granny's pool (Well, Carrington and Baylor did. The pool was way too cold for the rest of us.)
 
Beaufort Waterfront Park....





I kid you not, he wore the goggles an entire day. If they weren't on his eyes they were around his neck. For nap time and bed time too.

Granny is so good. She loves spending time with
her grandkids and plays with them non-stop.

We love Baylor!
Sleeping together during vacation. It happened every night.
 I was wondering if they would come back home asking to sleep in the same bed.
 
 
Let our HHI vacation begin! Our annual trip to my
favorite place on earth was Fab-U-Lous!! The kids loved being there, got to spend lots of time with their cousin, Madison, and the parents even had a little fun too. We even got to see some good friends from Wilmington.

Hot property!
They didn't leave each others side all weekend!

The bike trip was the only major fail during the weekend. Hudson was miserable whether in the bike seat or the bike trailer. I mean screaming and crying in fear. We went for one 10 minute ride and promptly returned the bikes to the rental company.
We love this girl! She is so good and such a sweetheart.

Smiles up and down...


Peaceful!
 
 
The last night in HHI we went to my new favorite restaurant, Skull Creek Boathouse. It's the perfect combination of good food, beautiful location, and fun for kids and adults.
 

Plenty of toys to play with while you wait,
sometimes for up to 2 hours if they are slammed.
My brother-in-law and sister. They also take an annual trip to HHI for their anniversary and were celebrating their fourth.

I love this little man!

And this concludes our HHI vacation, a first of many trips for Hudson!
