Mothers Day

This mothers day was spent here in Charleston. I couldn't make it home to be with my mom on mothers day this year but I spent mothers day with Chris and his mom. We went to eat at the Francis Marion Hotel downtown. It was very nice. It's an old historic hotel of course like everything downtown lol. The food was great.

Afterwards we went on a tour of the historic Edmondston-Alston House which is on the Battery downtown. It was a lovely old house with tons of history. Like the owner Mr. Alston watching the Civil War begin at Fort Sumpter from the porch of his house. It was a very nice day.

They made us sit on the Joggling Bench twice. 
While waiting for our tour to start we sat outside and sat on the Joggling Bench. The tour guide for the group in front of us made Chris and I demonstrate the bench for their group. It's a super long bench that rocks side to side and bounces. Then during our tour, our guide (an adorable little old man), made us demonstrate it to our group. It was pretty silly and Chirs had to do the bouncing cause my feet didn't touch the ground. So I just sat there holding on the the bench. lol.  


I missed being with my mom on mothers day but
I did send her a giftcard and the most awesome card ever!
