Family Vacation

Can you guess where we vacationed?
Here's a hint:

The beautiful old houses and uniqueness of Charleston combined with the quiet beaches of Edisto Island were perfect for our first family vacation.I was a complete angel, most of the time. I did have a few hard nights sleeping in my pack and play, but that was probably due to me teething and getting over my first stomach bug. I'm always happy with my Colin and Poppey though.
The hour long carriage ride was a little much. It was almost tragic when I accidentally tossed my monkey overboard. Luckily a nice man chased us a block to return it to me. He must have kids. I decided to hold monkey really close the rest of the ride.
Daddy loved the tour, and Colin was BIG the whole day.
I love these boys!
I missed some of the sight seeing through Charleston due to my afternoon nap.
I was cuddled up with my favorite lovies resting so I would be a big girl for my Poppey's 60th birthday dinner.
BUT, the BEST part of my vacation was by FAR the BEACH!
Colin showed me the sand, and that it was ok to get it ALL OVER.
Mommy took about a hundred pictures of me squinting in the sun....
I was very serious about the sand. I managed to eat a little bit of it as well as put a shell in my mouth. Neither phased me, but mommy about had a cow.

It was hard getting a little space to myself on the beach. Mommy and Daddy hovered....
My mommy didn't get any good action shots (one of the many reasons she hates her camera and will be getting a new one for Christmas...) of me crawling about chasing my shadow, or getting salt water splashed on my face. She did manage to get some good video though.
One of my favorite parts of the beach was the clean up. What's not to love? I was naked, my fav., and mommy let me play with the water while she tried her best to get all the sand off of me.
Of course some of the water did splash me in the face.... but after a day of waves and sand, I took it all in stride.
