July 31 - August 2

We took a mini vacation to Charleston with the Bush's over the weekend. It was my first time to visit Charleston. Such a fun & pretty city! And Jake loved getting to spend time with Mimi & Granddad.

At dinner Sunday night. The restaurant was right on the water. Jake loved it!

Monday morning we went to Folly Beach.
Jake was very brave around the water (a little too brave for my taste)
Playing in the water with Granddad
Jake loved running down the beach
Chasing daddy


Jake loved trying to sneak out the door to run down the hotel halls. I'm sure the people around us & under us loved us.

Now Jake's turn

Of course Jake saw the fountain, and had to touch the water. It started as simply as this.
Then moved on to this
And ended with this
At dinner a little while later. The expression on Jake's face is a classic one of his. It's his "I think I'm being cute but I'm really acting like a bratty toddler in public". Jake was wound up by this point. He kept yelling noises & running around. I couldn't be too mad at him though. He has been off schedule for almost 2 weeks at this points and has spent the last week away from home. But I was really beginning to dread the 7 hour drive home with him the next morning!
Enjoying some man talk with Granddad
The drive home was thankfully not as bad as it seemed Monday night. We did have to listen to 6 hours of Sid the Science Kid (we thankfully got a small break while he napped). We only have 2 DVD's of Sid and each DVD only has 4-5 short episodes. So needless to say, Robbie & I know every song & every bad joke. But if it meant not having to hear Jake whine, I didn't care! (We tried putting in DVD's of other shows or movies, but he just is not interested. Only Sid.)
Thank you to the Bush's for inviting us along on such a wonderful & enjoyable trip. We had such a great time!!
