A Birthday Celebration in SC

On Sunday, my favorite mother-in-law turned 78 years old and we decided to go down for a day to see her on this special day. So we arrived around lunch time to surprise the birthday girl with flowers, gifts and a cupcake. HAPPY BIRTHDAY, GRANDMA!
 
Making her wish:
After a delicious, home-cooked lunch, Derrick, the kids and I took a drive down to Charleston. We walked around the new Aquarium, stopped by at the Battery, explored the Charleston city market and saw the horse-drawn carriages. 
At the Battery, where it was unbelievable windy:
We let the kids run free in a park before enjoying an early dinner at Bubba Gump's:
 
The rest of the evening and the next morning, we enjoyed hanging out on the porch with Grandma and Grandpa and playing ball with their dog Marty. 
Grandpa and Elliot: 
Before we left on Monday morning, Derrick's brother, Tony and his wife Melina, stopped by to say hi and to introduce us to their newest family member, Teddy. This puppy was adorable! 
 
 
It was a short trip but well worth it and we were delighted to be able to celebrate Grandma's birthday with her.  Till we see each other again, SC.
