Ok, if you have never been to Charleston, I highly recommend it. I grew up there and went to college there so I’m really familiar with the place. But I haven’t been back to visit in many years. I decided that it was high time to take my children down there to see what it’s all about. After all, it is where I’m from. I was really excited about our trip but the kids weren’t so much. However, when we arrived in this beautiful city, their eyes lit up and their attitudes completely changed. We visited lots of historic sites and tourist attractions. But mostly we just wandered around and hung out together. It was a great weekend trip for me and the kids. And on the way home, my 13 year old (who thinks it’s completely uncool to smile) said he had a really good time with a big grin across his face. It was the greatest gift a mother could ask for. A happy teenager!! Here are a few pics from our trip. You know I couldn’t resist making my children model for me
