Our Trip to Charleston and Fripp Island, SC!

We went to Charleston in October and had a great time with friends and family!  This is a get-together party we had at the Holland's home.  It was a great night to see old friends and catch up!





We met the Bennetts at the South Carolina Aquarium and here we are outside with the Cooper River Bridge behind us. 

(In no particular order;)...) Here is Toni and Risa and Sallie Holland. 

Mr. Robert, Dad, Mr. Laban, and Ms.. Sallie look like they are all having a good time having dinner and chatting.  Dad has known Ms. Sallie since he was 3 years old!

Here's Ms. Sallie, Tyler, Dad, Mr. Robert, Ms. Melanie and Mr. Roman in the back row.  In the front row is Mr. Jesse, Ms. Toni (who we met in Spokane and they drove through Charleston and we got to see them-they moved to Atlanta 7 months ago), Ms. Olivia and Mom in the front. 

We had such a fun time with the Bennetts. I was so happy and giddy the whole time I was with Risa!

In Beaufort, we visited Mom's old friend Ms. Katherine and her two wonderful boys.  Here is Giana with Ford. 

Giana loooved seeing the amazing fish and sea creatures at the aquarium. 

Giana and Tali played in the childrens section at the aquarium.  Aren't they cute? :)

Here I am with Vann, who is Ford's older brother.  We had such a great time with them out for lunch, at the park and playing at their house! 

Papa just loooved giving Giana lots of hugs and kisses.  She loved them!  Giana talks about "Papa" everyday. 

Giana is such a sweet, easy-going baby.  Here is one of her big smiles!

I'm getting some great hugs and love from Papa and JoJo too.  They are fantastic!

Awesome beach fun with the Chapmans and the Larsons!  We cast nets in shallow pools and caught lots of tiny fish and shrimp and several blue crabs too!  We had so much fun exploring sea life!

This is Giana having a complete blast running around on the beach and squealing!!!  It was such a cute sight to see!

This is my Dad resting on the beach.  :)

We visited with Nana too.  It was so nice to see her!  Giana is clearly unhappy here, but we all had a great visit. 

Nana is giving me great hugs!

Happy 70th Birthday to Papa!!!  We had such a fun time with you all in South Carolina.  Everyone made it a memorable trip.  Thank you!!!
