Vacation 2008 - Sightseeing and beach

Day 6 - Today was a busy day. First, we took Jayden to downtown Charleston for a little sightseeing, shopping and lunch. Then it was time to go back to the hotel for Jayden's (and Daddy's - shh, I didn't tell you that) regular afternoon nap.

After napping, we were ready to take Jayden to the beach for the first time. It was not the perfect day for the beach because it was really windy but we decided it was still worth going. Surprisingly, Jayden loved it right away and crawled until he couldn't crawl anymore. He thought it was funny when there was a big wave and the water surprisingly caught up with him. He also enjoyed being a ham for all of the evening walkers who would stop to look at him playing. By the time we were ready to leave, Jayden was covered from head to toe in sand.

Following the beach we all went back to the hotel for showers/baths to remove all of the sand that we stole from the beach. Then it was on to another seafood dinner. Even though it was way past Jayden's bedtime, he was on his best behavior at dinner and even learned to drink from a straw while we were there.
