Sophie outside of the SC 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!

We enjoyed visiting and cycling around Charles Towne Landing State Historic Site today. At the visitor's center, Sophie pointed out a turtle on the wall that was just like the one on her shirt. We walked through the animal forest where there was a river otter exhibit. Sophie enjoyed pointing out the river otters and telling us, "See!"
Later, we visited the Children's Museum of the Lowcountry. Sophie loves to pretend "shop" in the grocery store exhibit there. She loaded up her cart with all the bags of chocolate chips she could find. Did she learn this from watching her Mommy shop at the Piggly Wiggly?
Here Sophie is steering a shrimp trawler into port. Watch out!
