Weekend Getaway

 

Paul and I have been trying to get to Charleston for a weekend getaway for a while now.  We were supposed to go a couple weekends ago, but we all got sick and didn't make it.  So, we were finally able to pack up and head to the beach for a long weekend!  We had a fabulous time!

It's amazing how much STUFF you have
to bring when traveling with a baby.

First stop on Friday was to the outlet stores.  This was Brady's first shopping trip, and he did great.  He got a little fussy towards the end, but I couldn't blame him.  We had been shopping for over and hour.  After that we headed out to Wild Dunes.  I can't tell you how grateful we are to be able to use my dad and step mom's beach house.  It is like paradise!  I mean check out this view- heaven!

Brady got to see LOTS of family while we were there.  He got to see his Gmom, but I just realized we didn't get any pictures of them together- whoops!  Saturday morning we invited Paul's brother and his family over for breakfast.  Brady had a great time playing with his cousins.  William had Brady belly laughing.  Maggie was quick enough to catch part of it on camera.  (Please excuse how awful I look...we were on vacation and I had not gotten ready yet)

I just love that Brady has cousins so close in age to him!  They are going to have so much fun growing up together.

I love this picture! Caroline is just a month older than Brady.

This is right as Caroline squealed and Brady did not like it too much.

After breakfast, we headed over to my Grandma's house.  I am so glad Brady got to spend some time with his Great Grandmother.

Finally, Sunday Paul's sister, Paige, invited us over for lunch.  Brady was able to play with his cousins Walt, Emmie, and Henry.

Brady and Henry. How cute are they?  Brady is just 2 months older
than Henry.

"I like him!"

All the boys!  This picture cracks me up...I guess William was checking
to see if Brady had any teeth coming in.

I am so glad that we were finally able to make it to Charleston to visit everyone.  We had a great time!  I can't wait until this summer when Brady can take his first dip in the Atlantic!
