Onto Charleston

After our overnight stops in Anderson & St. Matthews, we headed onto Charleston to visit Danny's Grandpa Charles, and Aunt Nancy & Uncle Al. We love going out to see them and to spend time in this beautiful part of the country. It was Britton's first time there, so we had to show him around.

And who better to do so than Uncle Al? Only the best tour guide in Charleston. He gives carriage & walking tours a couple days a week ... a great way to see the city.


Britton loved the horse (was even trying to kiss him) ...


... and the hat.

We walked around the town, the open air markets, and ate at some of our favorite places, as well as some new spots. The weather was beautiful all week, although we underpacked -- it was a little chilly there still.

When we were at home, Britton spent his time...

...tickling the ivories...


...asking for Grandpa Charles to pick him up (and then giving him sweet hugs) ...


...playing on the stairs...


... and kissing Grandpa Charles' "dog"!

He also attempted to take his first steps at the coaxing of his Great Aunt Nancy.



And had lots of sweet smiles for her.




He was rather taken with Nancy, can you tell?!


And here is Grandpa Charles and his mini-me making their March Madness tournament picks at $1/game. They've been doing this together for 19 years.


Here is Britton with his GiGi, who flew out from Dallas for the week, and then rode home with us.


Such a fun week we had with our little guy in Charleston.

Still more pictures to come...
