Memorial Day trip to Sullivan's Island

We picked up the kids from their last day of school and headed straight to the beach.  Dad and the littler ones stayed for a long weekend and Mom/Carter stayed late and made a week of it.  Pops and Emme made sure there were lots of activities to keep everyone occupied.  There was a tropical storm in the area for the weekend so we didn't get much sun time but luckily there is lots to do in Charleston to keep everyone busy - carriage ride, aquarium, children's museum, fire truck museum and history museum were all on our list.  The boys also made a trip to mini-golf, their favorite beach activity.  Carter had an eventful trip as he lost his 2nd tooth - other front bottom tooth.

Excited to arrive!
