Spring Break

We just got back from a great trip to South Carolina over Spring Break!  Despite some chilly weather in the beginning, we had a great getaway and did so many fun things: played at the beach and collected sea shells, swam in the pool, climbed a lighthouse, sailed on a pirate cruise, played tennis and miniature golf, went to a music concert, saw a huge alligator (!) and dyed Easter eggs, just to name a few.  We can't wait to go back!
We couldn't wait to get our feet wet the first night we arrived, but the water was chilly!!:)
 
 
Let me test it out... 
Yikes, that's cold!  I sure wish I hadn't gotten my pants wet!
 

The next day, we climbed a lighthouse until we got to the top (very windy!)
Getting ready for Easter!
We had a great time playing miniature golf... 
although one of us had a little trouble following the rules:)
We got some lunch and wandered around the farmer's market
The weather warmed up just in time to play some tennis
Having some fun at the golf course after dinner
We stumbled upon this amazing sand castle
It was so huge that we could actually run through it!

We enjoyed a pirate cruise...
and got to spray water from cannons to protect our ship from the pirates;)
You couldn't miss this alligator in the nearby lagoon - whoa!
We swam in the pool every day...thank goodness it was heated!
A fun trolley ride to get ice cream and see a concert
All good things must come to an end.  Time to go home!
