Surprise trip to Charleston

A few weeks ago, Jessica and I talked about surprising Jennifer for her birthday. Well it didn't work out to go the weekend right after her birthday, but we did get to go down the next weekend. I worked everything out with Doug, and he got Jennifer to come home early from work because "the garage door repair man" was coming. When we pulled up, she was so excited! The plan worked great.

Friday afternoon Julie came over with Finley and Coleman. Jessica has never met Finley, and I hadn't seen her since she was born. She is getting so big. Coleman was a little disappointed that Michael and Lydia didn't come with us.

Friday night we went downtown for dinner. We had so much fun and got to see a few local bands playing too.

 

Saturday morning we all enjoyed sleeping in. Since that is something we don't get to do very often. Then we went back downtown for lunch and shopping.

Since we were so close, we walked down to the harbor to see the water. It was freezing, but a beautiful view.

We had to leave Saturday night, so it was a really quick trip. But it was so much fun and we can't wait to do it again.
