Edisto Weekend

This weekend, with forecasters predicting temps in the high 60's, we decided to take you guys to Edisto for a weekend getaway in the Westbury share house. Papa, Annie and all of us, arrived at the house at about the same time and we spent the evening unpacking and relaxing. Sat. morning I awoke early (mostly to Ayden kicking me) and headed out the beach to catch some sunrise pictures for my photography lesson with the class I am taking. It was a beautiful sunrise and I extremely enjoyed the stillness of the beach that early in the morning. When I came back in, we headed to our favorite breakfast spot on the island...The Sea Cow. Ally Brynn, after getting a belly full, you were ready for a nap, so we rode you around the island until you fell asleep. We found some great spots for mommy to take pics and Ayden, you and I even saw a porpoise playing up against the land at The Neck. I think that was the closest encounter to a porpoise that either of us had ever had. We were so excited!
Later that morning, we decided to spend the day riding our bikes thru some of the trails in the State Park. Daddy knew of a great trail and took you guys, me , Annie and Papa to see it. We rode for most of the day and it WAS a beautiful trail. Ayden you peddled and peddled the whole time. A few times you would stop for a rest but didn't rest for long. You are riding your bike without training wheels and love to try new moves. After a few hours, we were all getting a little tired so we headed to Subway for lunch. While eating, we spotted Aunt Sandra and Uncle Doc in the parking lot of Piggly Wiggy, so we stopped to see them on the way to the house. You were both so loving and happy to see them which of course made their day. Later Saturday evening after a little rest, Ayden, Papa, Annie and I all went back to some of the spots Daddy and I had found that morning to watch the sunset. We saw sooo many deer and Ayden you were so excited. We got some great shots but missed seeing the actual sun set. Not to worry...there will be many many more. We also found a backpack on the side of the road at the entrance to the neck. It was a great mystery as to whom it belonged and Ayden you were full of chatter telling everyone what should be done with the bag. "We need to find a policeman and take it to him so he can find whose it is and he would be happy we did that."
After all the excitement calmed down we all enjoyed a wonderful supper at the Variety Seafood Resturaunt and then headed home to relax.
Sunday I once again awoke before the sun came up and snuck out the beach for some shots. Annie joined me and we got some great shots of another beautiful morning sunrise at Edisto. Once you guys awoke, we packed up and headed to a Civil Ware Reenactment in Ehrhardt SC. I will add those pics to the next post but our trip was so much fun and the weather was gorgeous. You both were a joy to be with and had so much fun. Ayden, as soon as we got home Sunday, you pulled out the new bigger bike you got for your birthday and started practicing riding it so that you can take your big bike on our next trip to Edisto.
