Charleston getaway with my hubby....

We were able to get away for a few days last week for some quality husband wife time! Scott had a property to see for work so we made a trip out of it! I had never been to Charleston so I was thrilled for the opportunity! Since I hate to ask people to take pictures (and they are never good anyway)....we have NONE of us together and just a few of the sights :) We sure did miss Elsie and thanks to "face time" were able to chat with her each night before bed! We took a carriage ride showing us the historic parts of Charleston and giving us some information about the city! I loved this part :) We had drinks on the roof a hotel overlooking the water, we had great food and we enjoyed seeing the battery down near the water with beautiful homes along the way! Of course a little shopping was done.....but we only came home with things for Elsie :)

Our Inn....so nice and right in the middle of everything on King Street

We had someone take a picture of us together....actually we had two people give it a try. The first lady didn't even take the picture and the second was so bad I didn't even want to put it up on the blog!

Hottie hubs :)

The Weekend of Aunt Cadie....

Our precious Cadie graduated from college this weekend!! Yipeeeee......that means that she will be right here in Atlanta with us from now on! Elsie (and Mommy and Daddy) are so excited that we get to see her whenever we want....and she is moving just down the road from us! Here are a few pictures from the weekend! We had such a wonderful time visiting with Scott's family....and celebrating our favorite Aunt Cadie :)

Kitchen Update...WhooHoo!!!

We decided our kitchen needed a little updating! The floors and new appliances had been added before we moved it, but the cabinets and countertops were sadly quite dated. This was definitely a budget reno, but we really think it looks great and will help with resale someday (in the not near future, ha). Any suggestions on paint color, as the yellow no longer matches the new cabinets!

Day 1 Hilton Head

As soon as we arrived on Friday we headed out to the beach.....and Elsie loved every second of it. She was not afraid of the water at all....and she was definitely the "coolest" baby on the beach!!!

Day 2 Hilton Head

Today we started on the beach.....no much wind so in the morning it wasn't too chilly....actually started to get hot pretty quickly!

The water hadn't had much time to warm up and Elsie wanted nothing to do with it!!!

But later in the day she was loving hanging out in the water with Daddy!

This picture makes me laugh....mouths wide open :)

Day 3 Hilton Head

We started the morning with a bike ride down the beach! The sun still hiding behind the clouds so it make for perfect pictures :)

After a short nap....we headed back out to the beach to play! Today was sand castle building time! I think Daddy was more excited than Elsie :)

Smashing Daddy's castle.....and loving it!!

Family photo shoot

We had such a wonderful time together as a family! Elsie loved every second of it and was such a sweet big girl!!!
