Yes, the parents are a little behind on blog writing. It's been a little hectic the last month! We left Holden Beach, NC January 9 and since then have been to Charleston, Savannah, and all over Florida! In Charleston, the highlight was seeing Kim's nephew and meeting his son for the first time. The best part about this trip on the road is all the family we get to see that we wouldn't see otherwise! We were busy in Charleston! Patriot's Point (see Lance's blog), Mangolia Gardens Plantation, a walking tour of historic Charleston, visiting the city market and boardwalk, Battery Park and Fort Sumter, and Angel Oak. It's a neat town with lots of interesting history. In Savannah, we stayed at a campground just north of town so that we would have easy access to Hilton Head. The campground, Camp Lake Jasper, had a great fishing lake where Lily caught her first catfish. It also had the first signs we had seen warning us of alligators in the area. We also experienced our first tornado watch while here. That is not an experience we want to relive. People say it is worse to live in the West where you never know an earthquake will happen. I say sitting around all day, waiting to see if you need to run for cover is more nerve racking! In Savannah we visited the beaches at Hilton Head and Tybee Island. At this point the kids still liked the beach! We did a city tour of historic Savannah also. It's great to see and hear about such old history. We also visited Fort Pulaski which was the same blueprint as Fort Sumter but still standing. The last thing we did was a "Night at the Museum" at the Savannah History Museum. It was a lot of fun and very interesting because they had everyone dressed in character and telling us the history but really engaging the kids. From January 26 to now, we have been in Florida. We've crisscrossed across the state to many places, which we'll write about in another blog. My one piece of advice, if you want to stay somewhere longer than a few days, make reservations months ahead of time! February is the busiest month here for campers, so we had to jump around every few days just to find campgrounds!
