Toes in the Water...

We had a wonderful time at the beach---we soaked up the last vacay as a family of three.  Nolan really loved running on the beach to and from the waves.  Everytime we would go past the entrance to the beach he would say, "Waaa" which stands for water and "Up" which he uses for up and down no matter how many times I tell him to say down.  We stayed in a condo at Kiawah Island, SC that was right on the beach.  Originally when I booked the villa, I thought oh we'll be right next to Charleston. I found out though we were more like 30 minutes away and that Kiawah is basically it's own whole destination in itself.  (We have already been to Charleston so we were more interested in the beach time anyhow.)  It has all the restaurants, the market, gas stations, pools, bike trails, parks, and anything you need.  Now this place is legit...it is well taken care of and the hotel that is on the island is out of my price range at like $600-$800 a night!  However if you book a villa like we did, you get all the resort amentities without having to pay the hefty hotel bill.  If you are a big baller I say go for it because that hotel is the real deal.  The island is awesome for golf, beach time, and for bike riding.  They have a bike path that is off the road throughout the whole island (which is a great way to see the island!)  You don't even have to bring your own bike---they have bike rentals for the whole day or for 4 hours.  I'm breaking up the vacay post into two since I have so many pics, so here are the first set:

Here I am at almost 28 weeks...the belly has arrived!

 Stay tuned for the bike ride and golf course pics :)
