Spring Break Trip - Deserted Beaches, Fire Trucks, and an Aircraft Carrier

We really did get to have lots of cool experiences on our trip. Wednesday morning began with a little time at the playground that was a short walk from our house, and then we hiked to a basically deserted beach!

Swings are the best!

That evening we ate at a place with all sorts of cool pirate artifacts. Charleston has tons of pirate history. Anson walked in and said "Yarrrr!!". So cute.

So it was a great trip. Lots of cool experiences for the kids and plenty of fun family time!
