Visiting Charleston, SC - July 2009

I got the chance to visit with Andie and Connor in SC in July. Despite some travel issues on the front end, we packed a lot of activities into a weekend, most of them with Connor as the lead attraction. But isn't that the way it should be? I mean, look at that face!


First, we introduced Connor to one of my favorite games, Connect 4. He loved it! But I think his favorite part might have been releasing the chips at the bottom.




Then, off to the beach. This meant sand and snacks. And of course, a big hole!




Andie and I went out for an adult dinner, and met up with some good friends of hers for drinks. It was great to see Todd and Debbie again, and the night views from our seats at the bar were amazing!

The Next day, we checked out the Children's Museum, and Connor had a ball.

First, he made his mother very happy, and checked out the meterology center. Looks like rain in the forecast!Then, he took his mom for a ride on a rowboat.

But rowboats are too small! Next, he tried out being a shrimp boat captain. Looks like he likes being in charge.

But it important to not speed, or you might get in trouble with the law.

Connor loved pumping water into this watering can, and then dumping the water all over his shoes. Maybe he'll be a gardener, like his Aunt Anne?

Or maybe he's just happy being our little prince.

After a fun day at the museum, and some time spent hiding in the tower of the castle, Connor was clear on what we needed to do next.

One final adventure - Connor's first movie! We went to see 'Up!' and I think it was fun for all.

Thanks, Andie and Connor, for a great visit!
