We're Baaaaaaack

Hello!  Hello!  Hellooooo!

We are back not only to blog land, but also back as in we just got home from a fun trip to the east coast.  What better time to start blogging again than with a blog to recap a really great vacation?!

Here goes...

My brother and his family moved to Raleigh, North Carolina just over two years ago.  While we've seen them a handful of times since the move, we have never been to Raleigh to visit them and see their new hometown.  We decided to make a big trip out of our visit to see them, and went to Savannah, Georgia and Charleston, South Carolina as well.  Jeff and I both agreed the entire trip, in all regards, exceeded our expectations.

On to the pictures!

A little bit of this...

A little bit of that.

And a lot of this...  Color away, kid.

Dinner the first night in Savannah.  Loving the three hour time difference!

We walked ALL over Savannah.

So much history.  So many squares with trees.  So much character and culture! Speaking of character, Claire captured the hearts and attention during her interpretive dance performance in Savannah.  See the video below...

Crab legs, shrimp, hush puppies.  Jeff's paradise. 

Hotel bed sharing at its finest.

One lunch where we enjoyed cheese grits and Jeff had a mahi BLT.  Please note Jeff's hair being on point.

We went on a historic horse drawn carriage ride in Charleston and were able to pet all the horses beforehand.

While the toddler sleeps...

The big kid eats.  (We all agreed to not tell Claire... shhh...)

Beautiful Charleston!

Hip hip hooray!  All the cousins together again!

Durham Bulls AAA game!  Love these big girls!

We visited many great museums!

These two.  

Buddies!

This front porch swing got me every day.

We had such a great vacation all around and look forward to visiting Bren, Michel, Helen and Rose again next year!
