Charleston, SC

Last week, we took a family vacation to Charleston, SC. Although, at times we felt like we had the only kids in Charleston, we had a great time and found lots to do.

Our first adventure was to the aircraft carrier the Yorktown. We also climbed inside a sub and checked out a destroyer. The Yorktown is huge! The boys had fun climbing in and out of all the doors and hideaways. We even saw an radio man that just like Grandpa King during his Navy days.

Good Morrow! Ye Friends and Family!

Yesterday, we had the pleasure and fun of attending the NC Renaissance Festival near Charlotte. We were able to see some jousting, eat a turkey leg, visit a petting zoo, and swing in a giant swan shaped swing. There was also a playground with lots of sand for building sand castles.

At the jousting tournament we cheered for the blue knight, he didn't win but we cheered really really loud. Brett refers to him as the good knight.

Brett and Breandan also rode in the butterfly swing. I didn't think Breandan would want to ride but he surprised us all by climbing right in and enjoying the ride.

To our surprise and delight, there were also Elephant rides. Elephants are Brett's "favorite" animal so we couldn't pass on the unique experience. Seane, Brett and Breandan took a nice slow stroll on the old elephant "Judy". I'm not quite sure if how she related to the renaissance theme but the boys loved the chance to go for an elephant ride.
