Beach Vacation

       We just got home from a wonderful week in Kiawah Island with my family.  It was so nice to get away and take a trip before I head back to work in 3 weeks.  We started our journey on Saturday morning by heading into Charleston for lunch and some shopping.  Then we ventured to Kiawah and checked into the house that evening.  We enjoyed many wonderful dinners and even did a little cooking.  The beaches on Kiawah are amazing, and we especially had fun going to the Ocean Course (a magnificent golf course along the ocean) on several nights to play on the putting green, beach and enjoy some time on the huge porch of the club house.  I apologize for the disorganization of pictures but it was too hard to get them lined up in order and a certain little girl wants my attention.
Beautiful night out at the Ocean course after dinner.

 Fun night in Charleston
 We took Avery into Charleston twice and then went in for a dinner date another night. Above is a picture of Trey and I on a perfect corner for us in downtown Charleston (Queen and King).

 Avery took many naps in her tent and we hope to get more good use of it next year.
 Uncle Trey and Uncle Ian taking a break from the sun and castle building.

 Avery's cousins loved to help with her bath. 
 I thought this picture was adorable of the girls hanging out and reading.
Aunt Robyn and Alexis before dinner!
 The girls loved playing with their uncles, building castles and jumping waves.  They helped the girls find over 20 sand dollars, some starfish and hermit crabs.

 Avery loved the pool.  Thanks to Granny for the awesome float. 
 Digging a big hole and making a sand castle. 

Every morning Avery's cousins would come in our room and we all hung out with her on the bed.  It was so cute and we all enjoyed making her laugh and smile!
 Us out to dinner.  Avery did great every night we took her to dinner.
