A Fun Labor Day Weekend


We had a really fun Labor Day weekend together. Gemma and I both really enjoyed having Cy home for an extra day. On Saturday morning, we drove down to Brittle Bank Park and took Gemma for a stroll (I of course took my camera and snapped some pictures). Then we did a little shopping, then went home to get some lunch and continue our Vampire Diaries season 1 marathon (we received the blu-rays on Friday). On Sunday, we took it easy with some more Vampire Diaries and hanging-out together time. We got to play a few games, which we enjoyed. On Monday, we went to The Park Formerly Known As Sunrise Park for more strolling/picture taking time. We took a towel and let Gemma roll around on it in the grass while we enjoyed the nice weather. Then we met up with the rest of the Shealy family for some burgers. After we went back home, Gemma snoozed for a bit and we took the monitor outside and threw the Frisbee around in the backyard. It was pretty hot, and neither one of us is in Frisbee shape, but it had been such a long time since we had thrown the Frisbee, and we really really enjoyed it. We finished off our fun weekend with a nice walk around the neighborhood, and some reading (with a few more episodes of Vampire Diaries thrown in here and there). It was so nice and relaxing - all three of us really hated it when Cy had to go back to work this morning!

So what's the park called now?? That's probably our favorite park in Charleston. Glad you had such a great weekend.

It's named after some guy now (he donated a lot of money for the upkeep I think). They also redid the whole park - there are now steps & ramps to get down onto the beaches, a fishing pier, and railings all around the cliffs. It is really nice.
