Charleston: Day 2

    Connor woke us up at 7 o'clock... his usual. Aaron took a shower with him to clean him up (there wasn't a tub) since he didn't get a bath the night before. He had so much fun splashing the water as it came out of the shower head. After we all got dressed, we went downstairs and ate breakfast. He started getting cranky by the end and was ready for his morning nap. He fell asleep as soon as we got in the car and started driving downtown.
       One of the things Corrie and I wanted to do was go shopping on King St. There were tons of stores, but most of them were closed or too expensive, so we just walked by.

 We thought this was weird. The front of a car was attached to a motorcycle.
It was bright outside. He left these on for maybe 2 minutes...
      The babies started to get hungry, so we stopped at a Mediterranean restaurant for lunch. This is where we realized why Connor has started acting so fussy. When changing his diaper I told Corrie to look at Connor's teeth. When she opened his mouth we noticed he was cutting two more teeth (for a total of 6)! He can't catch a break :(
We shopped a little more after lunch.

Playing at a toy store.
    After shopping, we thought we were going to go to the aquarium, but they closed at 5 and it was already 3:30. We couldn't justify paying so much money for only an hour and a half. The aquarium was near the water, so we went and saw that until we decided what to do next. I am happy we did because we got to see dolphins!
 Even though I'm squinting, this is my favorite picture from the weekend.
There were 3 dolphins swimming together.
     The only thing that was open at this time and worth going to was the market. It was 0.7 miles from where we were, so we walked. I thought it would be pretty close, but carrying a fussy baby made it seem like forever away!
On our walk saw this fire station with old firetrucks. 
    Once we got to the market, we were happy we went. They had all sorts of neat things. I didn't buy anything, but it was fun to walk around.
 Little kids were selling these flowers on the sidewalk. One of them gave one to Connor for free even Aaron insisted that he keep it.
People ride bicycles everywhere. I liked this one!
     After we were done shopping and finished with dinner, we went back to the hotel. Connor was not a happy camper during dinner. He was overly tired and his gums probably hurt him even though we gave him Tylenol and used teething oil. He fell asleep as soon as we got in the car and stayed asleep for a couple hours at the hotel. When he woke up, him and Elijah played for a little while. 
    When we were ready for bed, he didn't want to sleep in his crib. So, he slept with us. Needless to say, none of us slept well Sunday night.
