Field Trip

Today was very overcast and calling for showers so we thought we'd take a break from the beach and head into downtown Charleston for a fun excursion.  We had decided to take the boys to the Children's Museum of the Lowcountry.

What a neat place this turned out to be!  It had perfect activities for the ages the boys are.  There was a water area where they could play and float boats,

a pirate ship where they could dress up as pirates and look for treasure,

a garden to tend to and water

a huge toddler play area

  and a really cool kids grocery store where they could do their "grocery shopping."

We spent the better part of the morning at the Children's Museum and then headed out for lunch.  Paul and I wanted to take a walk down memory lane so we had lunch at a restaurant called Sticky Fingers.  It's a local BBQ place where our rehearsal dinner was held.  It was neat to be able to tell the boys about why this place was special to Mommy & Daddy.

After lunch we took a short walk down the street to the Mills House Hotel.  Paul and I had our wedding reception here.  The little couch we are all sitting on is one where we had some wedding pictures taken.  I'd post that one but I don't have them on this computer.  Oh well, I'll save wedding pics for another post.

It truly was a fantastic day!  Now back to the beach for more fun in the sand tomorrow.
