Charleston

Jeff and I went to Charleston for a few days last week. It was really our first getaway since the girls were born. We've been wanting to go for several years, and when Southwest got a nonstop flight, we decided to go. We were gone a little over two days, the longest I've been away from my girlies, and it was enough. They did great with us gone although Mom said they were getting pretty clingy by the end. I highly recommend visiting...we had a great time, and we were able to eat lunch the last day in Charleston and be back in Nashville by 3 that afternoon! There was great shopping, fabulous food, and the weather was perfect!

Never seen a tree with two different color blooms

One of the window boxes. They were so pretty and Jeff wondered why he can't ever get ours to look anything like it.

The church steeple Jeff was fascinated with (St. Philips) ...it was huge
