Charleston - Day 3

Our 3rd day in Charleston was very similar to the day before. We spent the morning at the beach. It wasn’t as hot this morning so it was very nice! The girls played in the sand and built sand castles. Zoe was very meticulous in arranging the sea shells on her castle and making sure every inch was covered. Zoe didn’t venture out into the waves this day but Ava did and she loved every minute of it! You can see the pure joy in her face!

That afternoon, we headed back into downtown Charleston. We took the girls to a bakery in town to get special treats for Ava’s birthday (a day early since we would be traveling on her actual birthday). Ava got a strawberry shortcake cupcake and Zoe got chocolate gelato. Then, we let them walk off the sugar by walking past Rainbow Row (picking out a house for each of us) and then all the way to battery park. It was hot but it was worth the walk to see the battery and gorgeous houses. Then, we made the trek back to the heart of downtown for supper.

After supper, we headed back to the beach for one last walk on the beach before heading home the next day. After this last walk, we had 2 trash bags full of shells to bring home! The girls were super excited to find their sand castles still in tact! Both girls couldn’t help but dance along the beach as we said goodbye to the beach.
