Staycation: Day 1

We started the first day of our staycation by visiting Angel Oak. (Well, it actually started with a sick mama, I have strep throat!) It is a majestic old oak tree and I have wanted to go see it since I lived here during my CofC days! Finally, I got to visit it. It is truly amazing. This tree is estimated to be over 1400 years old. It is supposedly the largest living organism east of the Mississippi!

Can you see how small Cannon is in comparision.

We went to James Island County Park. The one thing we LOVE about Charleston is all the parks! They are everywhere, in abundance and AWESOME! Seriously, this area really knows how to "do" parks!


Daddy is swinging this boy really fast and he loves it.


Cannon lost his clothes...he saw the sprinklers and just had to go play in the "waawaa".



We had dinner at Rita's! YUMMO! Brett has been asking to go here. Brett had a Barnyard Burger. It was a burger with a fried egg, bacon and cheddar cheese. I had a Catina Burger, it was covered in sauteed onions, cheese and guacamole. We also had a HUGE portion of fries seasoned with Old Bay. It was great! While we were there this guy walked into the dining room and Brett said I know that guy! Then he realized he knew him from TV! We used to watch the television show all the time. Apparently, John Davis owns Rita's OR the real estate market has really hit lower than we thought and he nows works here. Anyway, he said that Cannon was a cutie (Cannon's new claim to fame, a "famous" person thinks he is cute)!




After dinner, we went over to the beach. Cannon showed Dad his volleyball skills. Brett was so impressed, he has decided to let Cannon play with him next summer.

Then it was water time. This kid LOVES the beach!




Had to squeeze in a little art. Do you like my hat?
