Travel & Vacation: Charleston Food, Lodging, & Fun (Part 2)

Jake, Karlie, and Brina shivering in front of the pineapple fountain downtown Charleston.

The girls REALLY wanted to see the fountain that we had been reading about in our book Very Charleston, however, the day we choose to check it out it was freezing.  This was by far our coldest day in Charleston, earlier in the week it was in the 90’s and now it is 40 degrees outside.  The kids were freezing because I didn’t bring jackets but thankfully it was our last day in town.

Next to the Chic-Fil-A in Mt Pleasant is a little pond with a fountain and……..

TURTLES!!!!  The girls love watching turtles!

The girls were so excited when we parked next to the Charleston Creamery “Herby” that they insisted I take a picture!  Oh how they love their ice cream and this store!

Charleston Creamery – a place the girls always request to visit when we are in the area!

Ice cream made by a robot is always more fun to eat!

Are you getting full yet Brina?!

The girls had their own bedroom and TV.  It was pouring outside so we gave the kids a bath and let them watch TV for 30 minutes before going to bed.

Another great trip to Charleston with the family!  The girls had a blast.  It was very warm the first half of the week but by the time we left it was in the 40s.  Thankfully we did a bunch of our outdoor activities and swimming the first part of the week so when it got cold we found other things to occupy our time.  Jake got a lot of work done while we were in Charleston as well as created more great memories with the family.

 The “Travel and Vacation” series is an insight into our trips together as a family and ways we relax.  Life is short and we were thrilled to have the opportunity to build memories with family and explore of of the most amazing places during our time away.  Explore with a good attitude, look for fun, and it will be an awesome trip jammed packed with positive memories.  It is refreshing having some time away from the regular routine.  Make it a once in a lifetime opportunity to meet new people and learn.  You just might see or try something new that takes your breath away!
