Anniversary trip to Charleston

Wes and I celebrated our 5 year Wedding Anniversary on September 18. The weekend after our actual anniversary we were lucky enough to get to take a trip to Charleston, SC to celebrate our anniversary with a vacation! My mom watched the boys, for which we are extremely grateful. This was the first time Wes and I have been away just the two of us since I was pregnant with Carter (4 years ago!)

We had a wonderful time. We stayed in the Historic District of Charleston. We walked, saw the sights, learned about the history of the city, ate delicious food, drank delicious wine and cocktails, and most importantly spent time together celebrating our relationship.

Guess what else? We took lots of pictures, which I have posted below.

A fire escape that I thought was cool.
