Charleston!

One of my best friends from home asked me to be her maid of honor for her wedding on March 24th in Charleston, SC.  It was a crazy time!  I was so honored to be a part of her wedding.  We all enjoyed the opportunity to take a family vacation, especially during the crazy time of trying to buy a home.  Did I mention our anniversary was March 25th?  We decided this would be our first 'family vacation' (trip with children) and an anniversary trip also.  Here we go!

We fly standby.  ALWAYS!  So we flew to Atlanta easily on Delta.  My mom had a ticket from Dallas to Charleston with a layover in Atlanta.  We hopped on her flight to Atlanta from Dallas and then the real journey began.  ALL flights to Charleston were completely full.  Not only were they full, but they were completely oversold for two days!  It was crazy!  They ended up paying my mom $400 to cancel her flight and we all rented a car and drove the 5 hour drive to Charleston with a 3 yr old and a teething 8 month old. It was an awesome trip!  Carmen decided that she didn't like nursing in public anymore and pretty much fussed the entire time.  Roman was pretty good as long as he was watching Dora on the "my Pad" or Ipad.  I accidentally got us a little lost and the 5 hour drive ended up being 7 hours.  Needless to say, Matt was not thrilled.  The trip ended up being amazing and we all LOVE Charleston!

It was an amazing trip!  In spite of traveling with a teething baby and a 'crazy' toddler, we had a fabulous time.  I was so honored to be a part of Amy's wedding.  She has been a best friend since childhood and I would have done anything to be a part of her wedding.   It was so beautiful and perfect!
