Wednesday

Wednesday in S.C. brought rain rain and more rain in the morning and it was down right depressing.  It's hard to know what to do on vacation when it rains.  The boys were up early and we had nothing to do so by 11:00 I was pretty restless.  The men were supposed to go out fishing but it was cancelled due to rain.  So, that left us with nothing to do.  Jeff and I went and grabbed a bite to eat at Rita's and I had the best nachos I've ever had in my life.  They were amazing with tuna, watermellon salsa, brie cheese, etc.  mmmm.  When we got home we packed up the families and headed to Charleston to take a boat tour of the harbor.  This was so much fun!  The boys loved being on the boat and looking at the water.  After a few minutes they had fun racing their new cars and I was able to listen to a bit of the tour and take in the sites.  We saw Fort Sumter, beautiful homes, heard about the history of Charleston, industry, etc.

When we got home from the tour, Chase, Mom and I headed to the beach to have "lots of fun", which is what Chase kept calling it.  Chase and I did just that!  First off, I found two huge conch shells that I had been wanting to find.  The surf was just going down and the water was great. Chase ran and splashed and ran some more and keep saying, "this is really fun, I'm having a lot of fun Mommy!'  We made a fort with sand, shells and weeds.
