Except for Rhode Island and Florida Tucker has passed through every state on the Eastern Seaboard. This thanks to his parents (or more his mom) who would rather drive then fly to South Carolina and Maine. Well when you have baby gear and golf clubs the cost to fly would be prohibitive.
So we packed the car up for a fun filled vacation to South Carolina to see my parents for about two weeks. Unfortunately the weather was a tad cold the first few days but then it warmed up and we got to spend some fun time outside. Tucker did not mind being inside harassing poor Skooter (my parents dog) and exploring a new home. On those brr brr days we went to the Charleston Aquarium, headed to Beaufort for lunch, and then we went to see the Angel Oak Tree ( The Angel Oak is thought to be one of the oldest living things east of the Mississippi River). Brandon was not all that impressed, despite its size, because it had MANY limb supports. Nevertheless, Tucker and I thought that it was cool and he would have liked to crawl on the limbs.
During part of the trip Brandon had a business meeting to fly to so Tucker and I decided to head down to Savannah to see Ali, an old friend from skiing and college, and her two adorable kids for a couple of days. We had a blast visiting and look forward to seeing them again soon!! On our way back we made a detour and headed to Hilton Head to see a college friend. Next time I will need a little more time to explore the island. All in all, a great time to catch up with old friends!!
Thankfully we were able to also get out and play a few rounds of golf. Albeit not that well! Mimi was very kind to watch Tucker a couple of times while we escaped for a couple of hours. This was the first time that Brandon and I had actually really left Tucker for any amount of time during the day and he was a champ. Such a relief!! Next time hopefully we can take him with us to find all of our lost balls!
While we were visiting Tucker made it to the 11 month mark and since we were on the water, we took him to the beach to get his 11 month shots. All he wanted to do was eat the sea twigs that Brandon so creatively put together to document his age. Hmmm He seemed to have fun crawling around and trying to put anything and everything in his mouth.
Tucker wanted to make sure that we thanked Mimi and Grandpa for a fantastic time. He enjoyed every playful minute with them.
PS We officially have a stair climber now! AHHHHH Now we REALLY have to get our stairs done and get a stair railing in.
