Finding Nemo at the South Carolina Aquarium

During the slow tourist month of January, many Charleston attractions participate in the "Be a Tourist in Your Own Town" promotion for local Charlestonians. We purchased passes for the second time this year, and made quick use of the family pass by visiting the South Carolina Aquarium on the first day of the promotion, New Year's Day. This was our second trip to the aquarium, and our last trip was last January. We knew Sophie would love seeing all of the fish and critters; especially now that she can say the word, "fish." Sophie's favorite attraction at the aquarium was the river otters feeding time demonstation. She pressed hard against the display case to see all of the river otter action. She also enjoyed seeing the schools of fish other sea creatures.
















Look how much Sophie has grown in one year!

Bridge Walk

Last weekend, we decided to walk across the Cooper River Bridge which was completed a couple of years ago. We walked as far as the first large span that looks like a sail. This bridge connects downtown Charleston with Mt. Pleasant. See casadavis.org for more information! There's another picture of the bridge below.


Can you see the electricity in my hair while I'm playing with my balloon? Mommy was so happy to put my hair in pigtails for church one night and then I took them out on the way there!
Below, I've got the family camera. I'm ready to go do some sight-seeing. This past week, Sophie had hand, foot, and mouth disease which causes a rash in certain areas of the body and is very contagious in kids. We had planned to get away this past weekend but neither Sophie or Paula were feeling 100% so we just stayed in Charleston. One of Sophie's newest things is that she has started helping Paula "dust" the furniture-particularly her little chair. She'll get a rag or a diaper and start "dusting". It is so cute and I know she's just copying what she's seen Mommy doing before.
