Beach Trip Recap

We spent a fun week in Charleston S.C. - the weather was clear and hot and AJ loves the water.

We broke the drive down into two parts and when we stopped the first night in Selma NC AJ slept in the big boy bed all by himself. We tucked him in, he rolled over and went right to sleep. In the morning I woke up to our little man sitting up in his bed and looking over at me grinning. Very cute.

We got to the beach house that afternoon and AJ was a bit conflicted - he seemed happy to see the beach and took off running down the boardwalk to the beach where he rolled in the sand still wearing his clothes.

Once we got back in the house though AJ took my hand and announced that he wanted to go home. He even walked me over to the door to illustrate his point. By the next day and our trip to the beach, the homesickness had passed. We hit the beach or the pool just about every day.



AJ loves the water and enjoyed being able to float around the pool on his own when he wears his water wings. l./It was really hot and humid so we didn't do as much outside downtown exploring as we typically do. We did spend a few hours at the S.C. aquarium and AJ enjoyed seeing all the fish, turtles and birds. He put his nose against the glass of some pretty neat tanks :-) He even got to reach in the shallow tanks and touch the outside of a crab and a turtle - cool!
