4th of July

This year we went to Charleston for the 4th of July. We had a great time. We let the girls go shopping at the "Market" and they purchased one special item each. We also made our trip to the Omni at Charleston Place which is one of our favorites. The girls love looking at the beautiful chandelier and spiral staircase. There is always someone playing the grand piano and Ashlynn gets a little dream of herself playing like that one day. We walked around the battery and several other South Carolina history sites. It is so much fun for Ashlynn to actually see things that she has studied in school.

(Don't you just love the drink in the picture -- oops)

We were told that there were going to be fireworks at the battery. We decided (like many, many others) to take our chairs and wait. We waited, and waited and waited. During our wait we saw the fireworks at the other islands (Mt. Pleasant, Sullivans Isle, James Island, etc.)


Around 10:15 they finally began on the Battery. This is not one of the better pictures but I forgot my camera and cell phones only do the fireworks so much justice. All in all it was a great day.
