Charleston



Eric, me, Justin, Grandpa, Becky & Dan



A couple weekends ago we were able to go to Charleston for a long weekend. Eric's brother lives in Charleston with his girlfriend Lindsay. Eric's mom, step dad & grandpa came down from MN to visit as well while we were there. We had a great time exploring Charleston and enjoying the company of family! On our first day in Charleston we explored downtown a little. I just love all the private gardens around and the architecture.

 On our second day in Charleston we were able to take a boat ride around the inter-coastal waterways. We drove under the Cooper River Bridge. I love the lines on the bridge.

 This trip was great because we were able to celebrate Mothers Day with Eric's mom. We haven't been able to do that in 5 years! I, of course, missed my mom but it was great to be with family. We celebrated by going to church, having an amazing brunch on Isle of Plams, and then spent some quality time on the beach.

Justin and his girlfriend Lindsay now live in this great house that is close to a chain of lakes. The picture below is of their backyard. It was a great place to relax over the long weekend!
