Rachel's first night in a hotel

Wedding Reception

"Can we go home now? I'm ready for my bed."

Wes came and picked Rachel and I up on Friday and we headed down to Charleston for a wedding. Of course it was bike week down at the beach and traffic was horrible. After we finally made it down to Charleston we met up with Wes' parents. Nana and Pops drove down to Charleston from Apex to watch Rachel while we were at all the wedding events. We were so glad that they could come and help us out. We dropped our stuff in the hotel and went to the wedding rehearsal. The wedding was in an old church in downtown Charleston called the Circular Church. After rehearsing we went to dinner and Ansons. We had the best meal! It was wonderful!

Saturday we got going around 9:30 and headed out to the market. Wes' mom and I looked for bargains while the men pushed baby around. After we were shopped out there we went to Kings street and meet up with some friends and strolled around. The weather was great and Rachel was doing so well that we stayed out until 2:30. We zipped back to the hotel where Wes got dressed up and went to the church. He always looks so handsome in a tux! I followed a couple of hours later. The wedding was beautiful, it was a very pretty setting. The reception was held in a museum across the street. It was outdoors and the weather was perfect. We ate and danced the night away.

While we were attending the wedding, Wes' parents (aka: Nana and Pops) were watching and taking great care of Rachel. They even ventured out to a restaurant with her on Saturday night. They said she did very well. I was very impressed. We were so glad to have Wes' parents with us. Thanks Nana and Pops for taking such good care of little one!

We had a great time in Charleston. I hated to leave, I wanted to see some more of the city. Maybe in the future we can take another trip there. The trip home went pretty smooth with Rachel. We were all glad to be home and we can't wait to sleep in our own beds. Especially Rachel!
