Nana came to visit us from San Diego, CA. for three weeks.
Nana came to visit us from San Diego, CA. for three weeks.
She flew on an airplane to Charleston, SC. We picked her up at the airport. While Mommy and Daddy were in meetings in Utah, we spent 4 days together having fun on our own!
As we set out to explore the sites of South Carolina, our first stop was at the Hungryneck Antique Mall on Highway 17 in Mt. Pleasant.
Girlie loved this large, black iron dog in front of the store. She had her purse and was ready to shop!
We spent an hour exploring the aisles...there were so many things to see. We were looking for just the right treasure to buy with our bag full of quarters!
Nick searched for trucks and cars, and bought 3 airplanes for $3.oo each and an old time Chrome Steel "Steely" marble for $1.00. Girlie looked at lots of dollies and then found a dolphin key chain with shells inside. She said it was beautiful and it was only .50 cents! Nana bought 2 salt dishes for mommy's birthday. When we came out of the mall it was pouring rain! A nice lady with an umbrella walked us to our car.
It was good we had our umbrellas in the car because our next stop was outdoors!
All that exploring gave us a real appetite so we were off to find a tasty lunch. We love Chic-Fil-A but they are closed on sunday.

(If you click on the picture you can see it up close and personal!)
The windows are covered with rain but it didn't dampen our spirits!
We crossed the Isle of P Connector on our way to the Isle of Palms beach. And there we found it!
It was raining again, but we didn't care, the water in the ocean was wet, too! We played for awhile and then wanted to hurry and go back across the connector to get to the Boiled Peanut Man. Nana and Girlie had never tasted them before. They are a big treat in the south! Nick said they were really good, so off we went to find the peanut man. And WE FOUND HIM!
This was the sign we saw on the side of the road. We stopped to get some peanuts.
1 bag, please, of your extra special boiled peanuts!
Yummy good, I really like them!
We had such a great day. One we will never forget.
We headed for home and when we reached Mt. Pleasant, we turned into Ion and drove to our house.
After we looked at all of our pictures from the day, we decided to start our journals. We had saved something from every place we visited during the day so we could use it in our journal.

We turned our shirts inside out so if we got any paint on our clothes it wouldn't show on the good side!!!
and cutting and...well you know!
Our journals will take us a few days. Be sure to come back soon and see how they turned out. Now back to work!
~TO BE CONTINUED!~
And here they are! All three of us made our own journals. We used all of the pictures we took and put them into our books. Now we have a memory of our Excellent Adventure!
Now we can look at our books and all of the pictures of the places we went on our adventure, over and over again! What a fun day we had together!
