Our Lil' Beach Bum!






We recently took our first family vacation to Edisto Beach, SC. It was Chappell's first time seeing the sand & ocean and our first time visiting Edisto. We had an absolute blast! I must say, it became my favorite beach spot that i have ever been to. It's the perfect family beach...it's not commercialized at all, it's within driving distance to Charleston, the ocean's waves are calm so it's good for kids...just all around a great place to take the family. We got to do lots of fun things while we were there- we visited downtown Charleston and Botany Bay Plantation. Botany Bay was absolutely breathtaking with the incredible oak trees draped in spanish moss. Both sides of our family joined us on the trip so we had a house full. Our vacation definitely went by WAYYYY too fast and we were sad to come home. But I truly treasure the amazing time that we had with our family!

Chappell did so well on her first real vacation and she absolutely loved the beach! She had so much fun playing in the sand and in the water. We had a little sundome and umbrella to protect her and she played and played! It was so great seeing Chappell experience the beach and take everything in. She is growing up so fast!! The best part about the trip was being able to be with Chappell all week long and having that time off of work to be with her. And it also didn't hurt that we happened to be at the beach soaking up the rays.

Her smile is so endearing. I love her chubby legs. I can't believe she is almost one.
