Trip to Charleston, SC, and Maddie's First Airplane Ride!!!

This weekend we had the pleasure of visiting Charleston, SC. It's a place that I have been wanting to visit for quite some time, and it was beautiful. All that I could have imagined and more. Maddie got her first plane ride, and Mommy got to eat all of the fried green tomatoes she could get. The weather was beautiful and sunny and about 70 degrees, a welcome change from the single digit temps. we were experiencing just before we left.

Madeline had a fabulous first plane ride. She slept on all legs of the flights down and back! No complaints anywhere, and she was a fabulous sleeper at the hotel. Still sleeping from 9:30 p.m. to about 6:30 or 7:30 a.m as she does at home. It was a much needed and appreciated vacation for everyone!

Here she is on her first plane flight! Sound asleep, Whew!

Our beverage of choice....on the rocks of course.

Fun with Daddy at the hotel.


Mommy with Madeline in her "Charleston" bonnet. The thing is HUGE, but we figured she could wear it at the pool in the summer...so she had to model it!


Just a few of the beautiful houses!


Lanterns like this were everywhere. It was beautiful!

The Mills House Hotel, where we stayed! The nights we were there we spoke to a few guests who had seen ghosts the night before....AH!

How Maddie spent most of her weekend....asleep in the travel stroller! This stroller is great for traveling, it's a stroller/car seat in one, so you don't have to ruin your good ones through the flights!
