She could have cared less about the costumes or the candy but this mama sure had fun dressing her up! We got some outfits from her cousins and I couldn't decide which one to have her wear so she wore two costumes to different events. She looked adorable in both!<br />

McKall is 10 months old! I can't believe how time is flying by. She is standing on her own, walks with her walker, waves bye-bye, crawls like a mad women everyone, gets into anything she can find, and eats everything she can get her hands on. She really likes the TV remotes, DVDs, cell phones, car keys, and Ipad or laptop. She can blow kisses, gives the sloberiest kisses, and she loves watching other kids play. She will stand at our window and watch the kids play outside. She is the sweetest thing, will go see anyone and doesn't seem to mind that she's not with mom, she is very friendly, and she really likes to be outside. She is growing so very fast and we love her more and more every day.Brett and Chelseahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13951377772973634387noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8769766324791447560.post-66323349795340226402014-11-06T23:32:00.002-05:002014-11-06T23:32:46.786-05:00Half MarathonI have been wanting to run a half marathon for a few years now and my goal was to run one by the time I was 30. Well having a baby changes things and I was really feeling not-so-great about my body and these wonderful changes that happen when you have a baby. AJ Cohen is an avid runner and we talked about running a 1/2 together sometime. They moved from CT to Colorado and we decided to run the trail run in Moab, with me running the 1/2 and AJ running the full marathon. We had it all planned out and I started training the last week of August. We got hotel rooms and everything and I was just waiting to sign up for the 1/2 to make sure that I was actually going to be able to do this. Well.... I went to sign up and it was full! BUMMER! So I found another half to do while I was in shape so I could cross it off my list... So I did it!!! My first half marathon was the Cache Valley Halloween Half on October 11. I finished in 2 hours and 6 minutes, which I was hoping to finish it in 2 1/2 hours. I didn't walk at all, other than one little hill, for about 15 seconds.... which looking back on it I am kinda ticked that I let myself do "break gait". But I felt really good about it and am very happy with how it all turned out. I wasn't too sore, at least not as sore as I thought I was going to be.<br />
I definitely wouldn't mind doing another half sometime, perhaps sometime soon....<br />

All of us were up the canyon, out of cell service and had spent one night up there already. We decided to go for a drive on Saturday and it turned out that it was a good thing that we did because we found out that Dillon had just cut his toe right down the middle and was at the ER all by himself. He was working on a desk made out of pallets for Mekenzi on Saturday afternoon and the saw slipped and cut his big toe. No so lucky for him but lucky for us because he got to spend the weekend with us and Mekenzi joined him!!<br />
We didn't take a lot of pictures but we had a great time in the outdoors.<br />

My best friend Heidi, her husband Scott, and their little boy Kaiser moved to Texas. It was so fun to live close to them again and be able to see them on a somewhat regular basis. It was fun to be able to talk mommy talk with her and share life's goals, dreams, frustrations with her. I am so happy for them that Scott was able to get into a Master's program in Texas but I miss them every day! Sometimes GROWING UP REALLY SUCKS!!</div>

But Fall is our favorite time of year. We are especially excited this year to be able to return to Cache Valley and be able to cheer on our Aggies! We love attending the football games and have really enjoyed being able to do it with the crowd around us, instead of sitting in our living room glued to the TV all the way in Connecticut. We love our Ags!<br />

We especially enjoyed the win over BYU @ LeVell Edwards Stadium. Way to go Aggies! It was especially sweet because we have been trying to get the youth of our ward in Connecticut to realize that USU is the Harvard of the west. Well they were all tuned into the game and got to see first hand for themselves the truth we have been speaking for the last 3 years.<br />

Brett was able to secure us some meat for the winter by shooting 2 geese on opening morning of the goose hunt. He didn't even have to work that hard for them, just walked into my parents backyard, set up some decoys and enjoyed sitting his goose chair soaking up the sun.<br />

And of course, there is always the annual deer hunt, which is better than Christmas for Brett, and this year was no exception. Unfortunately, due to not knowing id we were going to be in Utah or not he didn't get a tag and was unable to shoot anything this year. However, he had many great horse rides and hikes and saw more game this year than he ever has. McKall and I went up for a visit one night and it was marvelous! McKall enjoyed her first horse ride in an actual saddle. She has ridden a few but they have just been bareback with someone holding on to her. We have a cowgirl on our hands!<br />

Craig flew in from China and Brian and Sher were in from Detroit. We all attended the fair and rodeo together. We had a few days in Bear Lake with just the Petersen Family and it was so wonderful to be able to spend some time together with just the siblings. It's something that doesn't happen very often, usually there are lots of other people involved in the family get togethers, but the rare occasion that all of us together does happen, there is sure to be a good time. We are so blessed to be able to have such a great family that gets along and is very drama free.<br />

Brett took his licensing exam the day we left and it was an excellent way to ease his mind and reward him for all of his hard work he put into studying. Lucky, he passed but he didn't get to find out for a couple of weeks after he took it but it was a fabulous time in the beautiful outdoors! We saw all major animals while in Yellowstone: bears, wolves, moose, buffaloes, big horn sheep, fish, eagles, an otter @ otter creek - it was fabulous! Enjoy the <i>loads </i>of glorious pictures of the most beautiful place on earth.<br />

McKall enjoyed her first 4th of July. We spent time at Bear Lake with the Petersen's. I was able to have my first night away from McKall since she was born. Brett, Dillon, and I went backpacking for the night of the 4th and hiked up Sawmill. Then the next day we spent the day at the race track watching Grandpa Falslev's horses run. Oh what fun the 4th of July can be!!</div>

At the first of June Grandma Susie joined us from China! Oh what a treat it was to be able to pick her up from the airport and have her home with us once again! It's always a good time when Grandma Suzie is around!<br />
<br />
The day after her arrival was Marlee and Tom's wedding. As much as we tried this was best picture of all the kiddos we could get.<br />

We tried to do it as quickly as travelling with a 6 month old will allow, which actually was <i>very </i>good time. We traveled from New Hampshire to just outside of Cleveland on our first day, it was about 11 hours of driving. McKall was a dream baby and made it smooth sailing for us. We stopped at Niagara Falls and walked around for about 2 hours. We enjoyed the AWEsome experience and the nice weather and crossed a Wonder off of the "wonders of the world" bucket list. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Day 2 was spent only driving, no major sites, from Cleveland all the way to Sioux Falls, ND!!! Yep, That's about a 14 hour drive! With a 6 month old!! We were exhausted but super glad to get it out of the way! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Day 3 included our 2nd wonder of the world - Mt Rushmore. It was a great sightseeing day, a little warm but great nonetheless. It's SO big yet it looks SO small and again, AWEsome experience to be able to see such a beautiful thing. Day 3 was finished with a push onward to Rawlins, WY, making it about an 11 hour driving day with a little sightseeing mixed in.</div>

We spent the weekend at the Hollbrook's Beach house in Falmouth. It was an absolute blast! They were so gracious and we had the best lobster dinner. We got to go on a boat ride, rode bikes on the beach front, checked out lots of massive beach mansions, all before we started our daunting road trip all the way back to Utah. McKall had many firsts while on the Cape, including her very first boat ride, toes in the open ocean, beach time, sunbathing, and lots of naps!<br />

We said goodbye to some great friends that we will cherish forever and miss them terribly! Many people touched our lives and created their own little place in our hearts. We will forever miss you and cherish the memories!<br />

We were beyond excited to be finished with school and started on the next phase of our lives. While at Graduation, Brett had the honor of being awarded the Victor Vaughn Legislative Service Award. Basically, he was awarded for his efforts in the legislative movements in Washington DC and did some lobbying in DC while he was still in school. Victor Vaughn is one of his professors and presented the award to him at the PT award ceremony.<br />
We could not be more proud of Brett for finishing and becoming a Doctor of Physical Therapy! YIPEE!!<br />

Being back in Utah afforded us many opportunities to spend lots of time with family. The Petersen side of the family had 3 new additions within 6 months of each other! What fun! So glad that McKall will have girl cousins that are her age that she will get to play with and grow up with. Family is such a blessing! Even with the parents so far away in China, we still love together and spend time together. We are so lucky to have such great relationships and I feel so blessed to be apart of this great group of people. </div>

It was not the most pleasant of times due to me living in Newton and Brett living in Salt Lake and travelling back and forth. Despite the unpleasantness of living apart for the majority of the spring, we managed to enjoy the spring. We went on a few hikes, had the annual flannel day at the Beav, spent lots of time with family, and Brett was able to obtain a spot at UofU! Yahoo!<br />
<div>
We also celebrated Brett's <b><span style="font-size: large;">30th</span></b> Birthday! He sure is getting old....<br />

We have loved being back with family and being able to share so many moments and memories with them. We especially love all of the cousins taking good care of our sweet baby girl. Sometimes they need reminding that she is only a baby and we still have to be soft with her but she loves them more and more every day! <br />

She went in for her 2 months check up on her 2 month birthday and her stats were looking great. She weighs 9 lbs 5 oz, and is 22 in. long. Her head circumference is 37 cm. She is in the 20-25% for weight and head circumference and 50% for height. She did have to get her shots and was a trooper - only screamed for about 30 seconds then fell right to sleep. She is growing and healthy and we couldn't be happier.<br />
She is becoming more responsive and is starting to smile a lot. She smiles more in the mornings than she does at night but she really loves her Daddy and will smile any time of day for him.<br />
She is doing tummy time every day and it depends on the day if she likes it or not. She did get a little bit of a snoty nose but that seems to be cleared up. She is breastfeeding all of the time but has occasionally taken a few formula bottles. She eats from a bottle about once a week and doesn't seem to mind at all.<br />
We sleeps in about 6 hour stretches at night and has pretty much from her first week of life. Some nights she seems to be more hungry than others and will wake up after only 3 or 4 hours.<br />
We love her more and more every day and sure do love having her in our lives.<br />

We were lucky enough to be able to have Grandpa Sparky and Grandma Suzie join us on their last Sunday before heading back to China (or the C-word as Suz refers to it as). Brett did a wonderful job blessing our sweet baby girl. It was a perfect day. We were joined by so many people who love and support us in all that we do. My heart was so full that day and I am so grateful for all of the wonderful friends and family that we have. We missed some friends and family who had other obligations or live too far away to join us but we felt of their love too. Many of them sent texts or called to say they wanted to be there to share in our special day. We are truly blessed! We didn't get pictures of all of those that attended but sure enjoyed getting some the of the close family. <br />

He didn't want to leave me back in CT with a newborn and no one there to help so his mother, my sister, and my mom took turns staying with me until we packed up and made the move to Utah. Due to having visitors new to the area we just had to do some traveling! :) YIPEE! With all of the help coming and going to and from the airport, this meant several trips to the airport. All of which she slept pretty much the entire way to and from the airport. She loves her car seat or at least has learned to love it and could sleep all day in there if we'd let her. <br />
Suz had never been to Boston and wanted to go check out the area just to be able to say that she had been there. We had been watching the weather to see if we were going to be able to make a trip up and sure enough - Jan 13 (2 1/2 weeks old) - it turned out to be 50 degrees in Boston!!! We just couldn't pass up the chance. We probably could have and should have just stayed in a hotel in the area but decided to make the trip up and back in one day. We left at about 830-9 am, visited Emily Parker's playground (a young victim of Sandy Hook shooting) in New London, CT, and then made it to Boston around 1130 am. We bought a bus tour and took a tour of the city on the bus. We spent the day just riding around Boston learning all sorts of great facts about the wonderful city. I hauled McKall around strapped to the front of me in a her Ergo carrier. <br />
McKall was born to travel. She ate right before we left, slept the entire way up to Boston. She woke up once on the bus to feed and the other time I had to force her to wake up to eat. I fed her again at dinner and then we headed out of Boston at about 7 pm. We made a pit stop at the temple, took a few pictures and then headed home with McKall asleep the entire way home. Unfortunately, we took lots of pictures of the beautiful city but didn't take any pictures of me and McKall that day so I don't have any photos to document the trip. I took a few on my cell phone of McKall that day but none that you could tell that we were in Boston.<br />
While Megan was here we took a trip up to New Haven and did a driving tour of Yale and the surrounding area. Again, no photos to document the trip....<br />
Then my mom came and the party was over, it was down to business and packing! Packing, packing and more packing. That was until we had the idea to pack <i>faster </i>so that we could be finished in enough time to be able to spend one day/night in the big city. We got everything packed and moved - my mom is a lifesaver! I definitely couldn't have done it without her. She was so awesome and wore herself right out packing and cleaning and squeezing a few kisses from McKall in here and there. I had to say goodbye to very dear friends and had a pretty rough time saying goodbye to a few of them - more on that in another post.<br />
We got packed and all moved a day ahead of schedule and headed into the city on Jan 30 (5 weeks old). We spent the day at the Natural History Museum and enjoyed meandering our way through that massive museum. Headed to my favorite restaurant in the city, Carmine's, and had a yummy dinner, then debated on going to Superbowl Boulevard but decided not to. We did happen to be in NYC the Thursday night before the Superbowl was to be played and the city was all sorts of decked out for the affair. They had lots of extra policemen around and there were lots of crazy football fans roaming Times Square, but as always, it was fun to be there. Believe it or not I actually got a picture!<br />

The next morning we headed to LaGuardia Airport and McKall got to experience her first plane ride, where she did amazing the entire time! All she did was eat and sleep. Someone on the plane who was sitting in the isle right behind us said as we were getting off, "I didn't even know she was on the plane."<br />
We dressed her up for her reunification with her Daddy in a cute little onsie. Yep - I got pictures to document the occasion! <br />

Once in Utah, we couldn't stay put here either. We headed up to Jackson Hole, WY for the cutter races on President's Day weekend (Feb 15-16). It was another warm weekend, kind of wet, but it was warm enough I didn't need a coat. McKall once again enjoyed being strapped to the front of me and slept pretty much the entire way up and back from Jackson Hole.<br />

Ms McKall has been more places in her short 2 months of life then most people have been their entire life. We have started her travel bug young, let's hope we haven't spoiled her traveling expectations for the rest of her life!Brett and Chelseahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13951377772973634387noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8769766324791447560.post-38721642582805265352014-02-21T16:40:00.002-05:002014-02-21T16:40:20.491-05:00McKall's Birth StoryI know for some of you this is information that you care nothing about but I wanted to remember the details of her birth story. With that said, there may a little TMI in this post so don't continue reading at this point if you don't want to know.<br />
Baby Girl's (which is what we called her until she was actually here) due date was December 30, 2013. As we approached December we were preparing not for her arrival but for the time Brett would have to leave Connecticut and come to Utah for his clinical affiliations. We were starting to pack of the house and get things squared away with that. Brett was to start clinical on Jan 6, which we were told that would be the first day they would induce me if I went over. I was very, <i>very</i>, let's add another <u><i><b>VERY</b></i></u> nervous that I would go over because my mom had done so with her deliveries. This was probably my biggest fear of my entire pregnancy. I DID NOT WANT TO BE INDUCED! I also have heard some pretty terrible induction stories and wanted my labor and delivery to be as natural as possible. I had been doing some reading as to what other women had tired to induce themselves/prepare for labor. One of those recommendations was exercise. During my pregnancy I was running 2-3 times a week for a couple of miles, all the way up until 37 weeks. Then at 37 weeks I changed to walking at a brisk pace. Looking back, I feel like this is what helped keep me in shape and ready for labor - maybe that is all in my head but I hope I can do a fair bit of exercise during all of my pregnancies.<br />
Another recommendation was casteroil. Yup, casteroil.... So I got some a few weeks before just to have on hand.<br />
At about 38 weeks, I started losing my muscus plug, just a little bit at a time. I was having no other symptoms of labor, no braxton hick's or anything. I was still feeling great and had lots of energy. This was the case through the end. <br />
I went to work on Christmas Eve, conducted rounds with the IICAPS teams, saw two of my clients and then headed home. Christmas Eve was pretty low-key and we stayed at our house and watched back-to-back Christmas movies: Elf, Christmas Vacation, and then flipped between Home Alone and Christmas Story. As a kid, it was tradition to sleep under the Christmas tree, not on Christmas Eve but it has always been a favorite thing of mine. So we set up the air mattress in 'under' our <i>tiny</i> Christmas tree, more like next to, which just so happen to be in front of the tv. Before we started our Christmas movie marathon, I asked Brett if he wanted to have a Christmas baby. He said he would rather have a Christmas baby than have to miss the birth of our first child. I agreed, so I ended up drinking some casteroil, which some had said they used and saw no results and some said that within 12 hours they were in labor. We decided to give it a try, if she was suppose to come, she would come, if not, well then I would probably have some diarrhea and that would be the end of it. I did have a small, nothing major, bout of diarrhea but it wasn't terrible.<br />
We enjoyed the Christmas movies well into the night. Until about 230 AM when I woke up having contractions. They were consistent and happened about once every 5 minutes. I waited for an hour, just laid in bed and timed them, before waking Brett up. He woke up, we called the on call Dr. He suggested that with it being my first baby, I would probably be in labor for awhile so he suggested taking a shower and making myself as comfortable as possible. He said to go into the hospital only when I could longer breath through the contractions. We followed his suggestions and took a shower then went back to bed and ended up falling back to sleep at about 4ish. I woke up at at 530 with more intense contractions, a little closer together but I could still breath and talk through the contractions with no problems. I again waited about an hour before waking Brett up. So about about 630 AM, I am walking from one end of our apartment to the next, having contractions about every 3-5 minutes but I was still able to walk and talk through them so we weren't sure what to do. We called the Dr at about 7 but didn't get an immediate response. Brett had breakfast and got ready for the day. We still hadn't heard back from the Dr by about 8 so we decided we better head in just to get things checked out. On our way to the hospital the Dr called and said to head in. We told him we were on our way! As we were driving to the hospital, I told Brett, "I hope that I am dilated to a 7 so they don't send me home. I don't want to play this back-and-forth game to the hospital."<br />
We arrived at the hospital at about 830, parked the car, went into the emergency room and the nurse looked at both of us and said "which one of you is going to the patient?" Brett told her that I was in labor and she started to laugh and said, "I couldn't even tell you were pregnant." They sent us upstairs to the delivery room and hooked me up to the monitors. The nurse explained that even though I was having contractions I would probably go home to progress through the dilation stages, since she thought I was at the beginning stages of labor. Once they got me all hooked up to the monitors, she checked my dilation and I was dilated to a 7! She was very surprised and started doing all of the intake paperwork and hooked me up to the IV and all of that. She mentioned that if I wanted to get an epidural I would need to get one ASAP or I wouldn't be getting one at all. She and another nurse said that if I had made it this far without one, then I would be fine. So we opted not to get an epidural. Brett put on some Christmas music that played throughout the entire delivery. It was very helpful and a great reminder of our Savior's birth on this very same day. The nurse had a difficult time finding a vein for the IV, probably due to the clean out from the casteroil, which probably made me a bit dehydrated. Once the IV was in and the paperwork complete she checked me again and I was dilated to a 9. Ready to start pushing! <br />
At about 10:30 they started to have me push to attempt to break my water, which hadn't broken yet. They kept saying that once my water breaks, baby would be here. Well I pushed for about 30 minutes and was getting a little tired and couldn't break my water. We decided to take a little rest and just breath through the contractions. At around 11:30 the Dr came in and broke my water. Then the real pushing began. I pushed for about 40 minutes and Baby Girl arrived at 12:19 pm! <br />
We still had not decided on a name, it was going to either be McKall Gale or Taylor Rae, and both of us were happy with either. We decided that since we had both liked the name McKall from before we were even married that we would stick with our original name. Now that we had a name, if was time to announce her birth to our families! Everything had happened so quickly and smoothly that we didn't really have a time contact anyone and let them know that we were headed to the hospital. Brett did mention a few days before the birth that it would be cool to surprise our family if we could. I wasn't too keen on the idea but on that day, contacting family was about the last thing on my mind. So it just so happened that Brett's wish came true and we were able to surprise the family via Skype.<br />
We told them, since it was about 11 AM Christmas morning, that we were going to be going to our Bishop's house a little earlier than expected and that we wanted to talk to all of them while everyone was together before we left. We called Brett's family first since they were dispersing to other parts of the state later on in the day. When they pulled us up on the big screen tv there were 3 of us instead of just 2!!! They were all jumping up and down and screaming. It was a beautiful surprise for all. Here's a picture of us on the big screen.<br />

While we were chatting with them, Greg, our brother-in-law, sent a text to my dad telling him congrats on becoming a grandpa. Well, since we hadn't told my family yet, he somewhat spoiled the surprise for them. We have considered writing him out of the will for this but have decided we still love him dearly and even though my parents now had a suspicion, nothing beats seeing their new grand baby for the first time.<br />
We also put a skype call into the Joneses in Juneau, AK and back to my parents later that afternoon once my grandpa had arrived.<br />
Since we lived in Connecticut when McKall was born, our visitors to the hospital were not great in numbers. My boss, Susan Sherrick came. My co-worker Darby Cotter, our friends Kari and AJ and my dear friend Stacy Mitchell from our ward. We weren't very good at taking pictures so we only have a few but here they are. <br />

I took my time and enjoyed driving through the Northwestern part of the state. It was beautiful and I enjoyed every minute of listening to some music that "took me back" and had a flood of wonderful memories come flooding back. Here are a few pictures of my adventures. I haven't had a change to edit them so they will probably turn out a little better when I print them but thought I would get them up on the blog while I am at it....<br />

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">Labor Day weekend we
decided to head up north and check out parts of Vermont, New Hampshire, and
Maine that we haven't seen and probably won't be able to see due to our time
winding down here in the New England area (Brett only hopes!). We had such a
great time. We headed up to Fort Ticonderoga, which we just happen to miss by
about 30 minutes! We had to leave after I was done with work and didn't get
away quite as soon as we would have liked but we were still able to enjoy a
nice ride along the river and around Lake George and Lake Champlain. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">Saturday we wandered
around Burlington, Vermont. It is a very quaint little college town that sits
on the opposite side of Lake Champlain from Fort Ticonderoga. They have an
awesome farmer's market that we meandered around for a while before heading
down to Camp Joseph. We stopped at Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream Factory in
Stowe, VT for a tasty treat before getting to Camp Joseph. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">At Camp Joseph we were
able to see the site where Joseph Smith was born and visit the surrounding
area. It was and still is very much a farming community and is very small. The
roads are back country roads and follow the local rivers and streams. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

and whether or not you need to stop to cool your brakes. The Auto Road is a
steep, narrow mountain road without guardrails. The average grade is 12%. As
the sign at the base of the Road states – “If you have a fear of heights, you
may not appreciate this driving experience”</span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 10pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

Tuesday: Said our goodbye’s to the Shelton’s and headed on
our way to Savannah. The drive it about 3-4ish hours but we decided to take it
slow and take the back roads through the southern towns to get more of the
southern experience. I am glad we did! We saw lots of cool farms and sleepy
little southern towns. If we would have had time I would have stopped in every
town along the way. When we got to Savannah we didn’t really have a “game plan”
so we just went with the flow and we ended up down at the river perusing the
shops and watching the boats sail in and out. We ate at Tavern Exchange and
then enjoyed the beautiful weather with a stroll through the streets of
Savannah. We enjoyed some quality picture-taking time, although most didn’t
turn out fabulous we still enjoyed our time. </div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Wednesday: We took a bus tour of Savannah and learned all
sorts of stuff about people who have lived in Savannah and why the city is so
beautiful. I can’t recall anything special that we learned but it was fun to
learn at the time. We had Ice Cream at the famous Leopold’s and it was <i>good.</i> We grabbed ourselves a few slices
of pizza from Mr Pizza and headed on our way to Charleston. We found our way to
the Riverwalk in Charleston and ate at Griffon Pub. After dinner we walked the river
and enjoyed the sea breeze for awhile. We walked down Market St and did some
shop-hopping at the various shops. Charleston is a quaint southern town – the
charm in the streets and the houses made it easy to understand why people of
all walks of life are drawn to the charm. We did stay in a hostel this night –
it was Brett’s first experience with a hostel and he was not impressed. I would
have to say that it was definitely the best hostel that I have ever stayed in.
I don’t think Brett will be returning to a hostel any time soon. </div>

Thursday: I really wanted to go to the beach at least one day and it just happened to be this day that we were supposed to go. We woke up to it pouring rain! <span style="font-family: Wingdings;">L</span> It was starting and stopping and it looked like we might be in luck so as we waited out the storm we walked through the charming downtown streets of Charleston and enjoyed all of the charm and beautiful houses. Then we made our way to the Isle of Palms Beach and were able to spend about an hour swimming in the water, laying on the beach and enjoying ourselves. While we were swimming we saw some dolphins about 50 yards away from us. It was pretty cool to see them so close. We dried off and headed to Middleton Place Plantation. We spent several hours touring the plantation, the gardens, the house, learning about life on a plantation. We learned that the Middleton’s had a lot to do with the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution and are signers of one or both of the documents. The son or daughter (I forget which one) then married someone whose father was also a signer, making them the only couple in history with both a father and father-in-law who signed the Constitution. What a legacy! That night we retired to the hotel early and Brett watch the Seahawks vs Chargers football game.<br />

Friday: We spent the day making our way towards Virginia,
with our final destination being Williamsburg. We drove the most of South
Carolina, all of North Carolina, making a final stop for Zaxby’s in North
Carolina before entering into Virginia, who doesn’t have Zaxby’s in convenient
locations. We made it to Williamsburg about 430ish that afternoon and spent the
afternoon walking around Williamsburg. We didn’t pay to go in any of the shops
or anything but it was cool to be able to see the town and for Brett be able to
experience a little bit of Williamsburg. We walked through the College of
William and Mary, which just happens to be the oldest college/university in the
US. We ate at the Cheese shop, as
recommended by Zach and Megan and then headed to our hotel, which was literally
one block away from Williamsburg. We hung out there for the night, watching
shark week and football. </div>

Saturday: We slept in again and took our time getting ready
before we headed out to Jamestown. We saw the Jamestown settlement and where
able to see several artifacts that have been preserved through archaeological
digs. We spent some time at the glass blowing shop and enjoyed watching the
artisans make various things out of glass. It started to <i>downpour</i> a true southern rainstorm. We headed to Richmond and drove
down monument ave, seeing several statues of famous people from Virginia. We
were also able to see the confederate capitol building but there was not
convenient parking so we opted to forgo going inside. One of Brett’s favorite
bands and mine was playing Richmond that night so we were able to catch a
concert of Jimmy Eat World to finish out our trip. The concert was in an old
historic theater that had been restored and it was really cool to be able to
see them – Brett was able to fulfill a life-long dream. They were very good in
concert and we enjoyed it.</div>

Sunday: We traveled the 7ish hours home and were able to
make it home by about 230 pm. We didn’t hit a lot of traffic, which we were
very worried about and it was smooth sailing. We were able to get home in just
enough time to do a few loads of laundry and make it to a youth fireside at
Bishop’s house. </div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
We enjoyed our trip and we are very glad that we were able
to get down to the Atlanta area and enjoyed some really awesome time together
before we won’t get to travel like that for quite a few years. It was a good
last hoo-rah before starting the next chapter of parenting and “family trips”
take on a whole new meaning! </div>
