Once we found out that we were having twins, however, that idea quickly got squelched. I don't think she's going to be entirely mobile by then. Instead, we decided to head south to Charleston over Easter weekend. Erin is an Easter nut anyway, plus I had proposed to her on Easter Sunday in 2006.
We left early on Saturday morning, and made the 200 mile drive in relatively good time. Granted, we had to stop about once an hour to accommodate potty breaks, but it was still an easy drive.
We headed directly to the piers to take a two hour harbor cruise.
From the water, we could see these church steeples, which have been up since before the Revolutionary War.
This is Fort Sumter, which was home to the first battle of the Civil War (or, as the announcer called it, "The States War"). The flags you see include the SC state flag, and the first and second flags of the Confederacy.
I was highly amused by the birds (pelicans and seagulls). I am a simple man.
We came upon Patriot's Point, and got to see the USS Yorktown, and it's assortment of WWII and Korean War era aircraft.
I like this picture.
After the cruise ended, we checked into our hotel and wandered about Charleston a little bit. We checked out some of the historic areas, and settled in for a fine dinner: ribs, macaroni, cheese biscuits, and a few other sides that I can't remember.
The next morning (Easter Sunday), we drove back through some more of the historic areas, just checking out the architecture. We took a stroll along one of the rivers, and generally enjoyed the absolutely perfect weather.
In all, it was a great trip. I look forward to my next bit of fun in 203o.

You need to have babies so you can stop taking pictures of flags and birds. :)
