South Carolina

At the beginning of summer we went on a vacation to South Carolina with Nick's fam. It was our first time there and we absolutely loved it! Madison had a lot of firsts that trip... first time in an airplane, first time at the beach, first time swimming in the ocean, first bike ride etc etc! It was so beautiful there and we had a ton of fun! We took so many pictures, so it was hard to narrow them down, so a pre-warning to all... this is a VERY LONG POST!!! :)






Lovin the sand!




We took Maddie to a petting zoo in Sea Pines (part of Hilton Head Island). She loved all the animals!




Dad caught a lizard for his little girl :)




Madison's 1st bike ride! We rented beach cruisers for the week and went almost daily. She loved it!




We went on a super long bike ride (like 2 1/2 hours!) so this is what Maddie looked like towards the end! haha Poor girl doesn't look at all comfortable! :)

The early morning beach ride was the best!


The plantation in Charleston where part of the movie 'The Notebook' was filmed...



Loved the trees there...

This mansion was Ali's parents home in the movie. Kinda cool I thought :)


Well, we were in Charleston so I had to take a picture with a Charleston Chew! :) yum yum
Some cute beach pics... as you can tell she was fascinated by the sand (and waves)








We suffered through a timeshare presentation :) and as a result got to go on a free sunset dinner cruise around Hilton Head island. It was pretty cool. Me and Deeds

Some pretty scenery from the boat...


We saw a bunch of dolphins from the boat!
HAHA surprise! :)


View of the harbor as we were pulling in...

Saw lots of gators that trip and Madison learned how to sign and later say 'alligator'

Besides, a treadmill workout is mostly for the lower body, which means you have to find another way to work your upper body.
