Charleston

Last week we spent the week in Charleston and Kiawah and today I'm sharing our first of two days in Charleston.  Derek and I missed our flight but jumped on the next one and still made it in time for lunch.  We did Husk and most of us tried their famous cheeseburgers and loved them.  

The weather was great for our stay sunny and low 80's but cooler and much more enjoyable at night. 


We spent the afternoon walking around - checking out the Pineapple Fountain, Waterfront Park and walking along the battery.  We'd all been up early so we took some time to relax around the hotel. 


Our first dinner was at Hanks and it was one of my favorites.  I had the Seafood a la Wanda, as did my brother and everyone else had the grouper... Tatum had a nap! 


We'd stayed at The Restoration previously and loved it so this time we got a three bedroom suite so we could all be together - it was perfect for Tatum because there was plenty of space to play... and plenty of playmates who entertained him each morning/evening.


Part two tomorrow...
