Andrew and I decided to take the family vacation a little earlier this year, so we headed down to Charleston this week to "beat the heat". Little did we know it would be 90 everyday. At any rate, we found many ways to entertain ourselves and nothing could be better than spending the week with our newly minted 2 year old. I can't explain how awesome it was to spend the week with Riley 24/7. Yes, she is a big ball of energy but it is amazing to see how smart she is! Since we don't get to spend as much time as we would like to with her during our regular life, this week was just what we needed. She is becoming so independent and wants to try to do everything by herself. She is also a very big helper, wanting to open doors, push the stroller and empty the dishwasher. Everything is "Riley do it!". We went to the pool every day and also did the slides and swings at the park. There really isn't a zoo nearby so we saw animals at the Middleton Plantation and Charles Towne Landing. Riley really liked to watch the otters. We took plenty of walks to tire our little girl, Riley prefers to run. On Thursday we went to the Children's Museum and had brunch at "Toast" -- mommy's favorite breakfast spot. Today we headed back to Columbus and Riley did a wonderful job traveling -- we are so lucky that she is pretty easy going on the plane....I think this was her fourth plane trip! Overall, we had a great vacation but we are happy to be home.
