Charleston

While we were on our cruise, Jonathan's parents watched the kiddos. It was so nice of them. 6 whole days. The kids had a BLAST! They went to the SC aquarium, fire museum, did crafts, cooking, fireworks and even rode grandpa's gator around their land.
J enjoyed helping his dad put a fence in his backyard. Now seeing what he can do, my honey-do list is getting even larger....
Austin and Ash bonded while we were gone. They play really well together now. They're "wrestling" together, there's not the constant screaming there used to be, and they actually enjoy doing things together and they're always helping each other out. Maybe mom and dad need to take a trip without them more often...

While in Charleston, we visited River Street Sweets (my favorite candy shop) and got homemade pralines. They are truly a taste of heaven on earth.

Charleston has some great shopping. However Ash was officially shopped-out as I captured in this picture.
We always visit the down-town market while in Charleston too. I love this place. Charleston has such a distinct, historical essence that will never go away. At the same time it captures its timeless southern charm.
We even got to play Uncle Ray's wii, PlayStation and sing-along Hannah Montana! Uncle Ray spoiled the kids to the nth degree. Toys, surprises, games everyday.
J even rated really high while singing a song from High School Musical! Who would of thought?

That is so sweet. We plan on going on our first cruise next summer. Of course we will be taking our kids, unless of course, Jonathan's parents aren't busy..... :)
