Day trip to Charleston, SC

Sunday morning we woke up and decided to go to Charleston for the day.  We decided at 8:15 and were in the car on the way by 9:00.  It was very spur of the moment, but ended up being so much fun!  We had lunch at a great place in Mt. Pleasant (across a river from downtown Charleston) and then took a ferry to Fort Sumter.  It was HOT outside yesterday but once the ferry started it felt great.  It was a 30 minute ferry ride out there and back which was a great way to see some of the Charleston harbor. 



We caught the ferry at Patriots Point. There was a huge battleship museum there too.  That is on our list next time we get to Charleston.  It looked awesome!


These two were super excited to see Fort Sumter!

I love that CeCe gets excited about her brother's obsessions too.  She just likes being out and about!


At the Fort.  Ft. Sumter is where the Civil War began, so very cool for Bryce.  



After the ferry ride back to the car, we drove around downtown Charleston while CeCe snoozed.  We parked after about 30 minutes and decided to walk around and find some ice cream.  This is what we found!  How neat!  She was so excited to get her favorite food, ice cream at a place named CeCe's! 

We also walked through a downtown market type place and found a place with smocked doll clothes.  REALLY?  She and I were so excited!  We let her pick out one dress and she was so excited to get back to the car to try it on her baby. 


It was such a fun spur of the moment day.  I'm so excited the kids are up for days like this.  We will definitely be doing more of these little trips!!
