Charleston & Folly Beach - Back in June!

Ok, I confess... vacation is so much fun and so much work! Back in June, Greg had a week long business trip in Charleston so we decided to tag along and make it a vacation! We drove and Mimi flew in from Atlanta. We had SO much fun! The first 3 days we were in downtown Charleston taking in all the sights ... yes, mostly shopping! That's what we girls love to do! And of course, eating lots of yummy seafood! Mid week, we moved to the Holiday Inn on the beach in Folly Beach - it was awesome! We (me & mom) were a bit worried because there were no suites, so all 5 of us were in just your basic hotel room with 2 double beds. You can't hardly complain, when you're staying on the beach front - for free! Got to love those Holiday Inn points! Anyway, it worked and we had a super, great time! The girls loved the pool and especially the sand and ocean! Ella wanted someone to hold her hand while in the waves, but when they would crash, she could yell "GERONIMO"! A couple of times, when water got in her face she would say geronimo got me! Kaeley had the best time swimming and quickly made several friends at the pool. It amazes me that she can be so painfully shy, but she still manages to make friends where ever we are!
