Charleston, SC

Tuesday afternoon we arrived at the Watson's house.  Brynlee and I went in April after Jude was born.  But it was Parker, Kate, and Camryn's first time. 

Brynlee went right back to her spot of holding Jude...
He's so big and smiling now.
Camryn and JuJu reading books...

The girls went to eat dinner at Five Loaves Café...
Then we walked around Summerville...

Wednesday morning we took the kids to Wannamaker Park.

Kate loved this little zipline...

JuJu and PaPa T kept the girls at the museum while we went to the Old Slave Mart Museum.  It was very interesting and heavy and sad.  Such a dark part of our history.
Brynlee and Mommy
Then we ate lunch at Smoke BBQ.  It was soooooo yummy.

Later that afternoon Jonathan, Karen, Parker, and I went to Boone Hall Plantation. 
This is the avenue of the oaks leading into the plantation.
These are the original slaves houses from the plantation.

Karen, Jonathan and Jude on the sidewinder tree.  Some of the trees were over 300 years old.
One of the cotton docks on the plantation.  This might have been the prettiest view.

Thankful to JuJu and PaPa T for keeping these crazies so we could do a little sightseeing!
Friday we drove ALL THE WAY back to Texas.  South Carolina, you were so fun!  Thankful for a full week of fun with family!
They finally crashed about 30 minutes away from home.
