We are on Spring Break this week. Basically, we set out to accomplish two things: Charleston trip for fun and more fun! and house projects, specifically painting. It is now Thursday, and we have completed all of our tasks! Woo Hoo! Let us begin with a quick recounting of the Charleston trip.
We went to Charleston with our friends Jeff, Betsy, Ella, and Jonah. We stayed in this sweet house, right off of East Bay Street. We could walk wherever we wanted to go, which we did. We hit the market, the battery, the park, playgrounds, College of Charleston, King Street, Yo Burrito!, a candy store, and the SC Aquarium (which was off the chain amazing. Noah and the kids really enjoyed it, but the adults were quite captivated as well. It is funny how Noah is still defining his world, so that things we think are exotic, he sees as normal. As an example, we saw a 9 foot shark, alligators, and sting rays - but if you ask Noah what he just saw, he will speak only about the owl. He loved that owl.) We spent Easter there, so we had an easter egg hunt, and then went to Sullivan's Island, to enjoy the beach (which was the windiest place on earth that day). Anyways, we had great weather and I was able to take a run each day. Charleston, SC is a great town to explore, especially while running. Jeff and Betsy both took runs/rides across the Cooper River Bridge. I imagine that was quite a view. Noah had a great time with Jonah and Ella - and he slept almost the entire ride home. Nice.
Since returning home, Jessica has painted every cabinet and trim int he kitchen. It looks great - that woman can paint. I have been painting our 1928 foundation a darker gray. We have had good weather, so I have loved being outside.
So, all we have been listening to is Stars (who we saw last week at the Orange Peel - great show), Dave Matthews, The Broken West, Jack Johnson, the Sundays, the Kooks, and The Submarines.
