Since we have lived in North Carolina, we haven't been anywhere besides Raleigh and Charlotte. We always said we wanted to visit other places on the East Coast, but just haven't made time to go. Our friends Corrie and Matt have been stationed in Italy and just moved back to the states. They are currently in Alabama for Matt's training, so not too far from us. Corrie and I really wanted to see each other before we move, so we made plans to meet in Charleston Valentine's weekend.
On Saturday morning, it was cold and rainy. I didn't want to get out of bed, but Connor woke us up pretty early. We ate breakfast, got ready, finished packing, and were out the door by 9:30. We were cramped in the car, and I joked that Princess Kylie had more room than any of us... because she did. Spoiled dog! We stopped for lunch at a Mexican restaurant about an hour away from Charleston. The food was so good, but I was miserable after eating. Aaron has a new favorite place to eat Mexican food. Too bad it's 2 hours away from where we live.
The mirror drove me crazy the whole way because it wasn't straight.
We got to the hotel after making a quick stop for diapers. Luckily they let us check in a few hours early. All the ladies loved Connor and Kylie. They were both so happy to be out of the car! We went up to the room and they brought us a crib for Connor to sleep in (his pack-n-play didn't fit in the car because Kylie's crate took up a lot of space). The first day, he liked playing in it.
After we got all our stuff unpacked from the car and organized, I told Aaron I was ready to sight see. He was tired, but like a good husband he agreed. We picked up a map from the front desk and started driving. Aaron quickly realized that I am not a good navigator and now I am not allowed to give directions. I am okay with that ;)
Rainbow Row
I loved the buildings and how colorful they were.
There were a few seagulls perched on the railing. Aaron thought it would be a fun to scare them. So... him and Connor would run up to them and watch them fly away. 
At about 5, we went back to the hotel to let Kylie out and figure out where we were going to eat dinner.
Resting for a little while.
Aaron picked out a restaurant about a mile from the hotel. We left a little early to grab a drink and Corrie and Matt met us there. Connor was so funny. He couldn't stop flirting with all the girls that worked there. Our waitress was his favorite! I wish I got a picture of them.

We got back to the hotel at about 9:30. Connor was exhausted and went to sleep within a few minutes. Poor guy, he had a long day!
