To Grandma's House We Go

We got back from seeing Alex in Georgia on the evening of Monday April 2, 2012. We took Tuesday to go grocery shopping, unpack, rest, etc. Wednesday April 4, 2012, we  loaded up and drove the 2 hours to see Grandma and Grandpa Jackson and Great Grandma Mimi in Surfside Beach. I planned the trip so we could drive during nap time. Being that my child still absolutely positively HATES car rides, when I drive by myself, it is much easier to drive during nap time. 

We got to Surfside to Mimi's house right before lunch. Mimi was still at physical therapy and she had no idea we were coming to visit. Grandma and Grandpa Jackson had just told her that she would have some visitors coming to see her that day. She was very happy and excited when she realized who it was. We had a delicious lunch courtesy of Grandma Jackson. It was pizza with a cauliflower crust. She said she had found the recipe on Pintrest (sp?) but had tweaked it to perfection.

After lunch, Charlotte and Grandma and Grandpa Jackson made the trip down to the beach in the gulf cart for a bit. Since I was still completely exhausted from the trip to Georgia and was not feeling well at all (surprise, surprise) I stayed and rested at Mimi's house. They got a ton of pictures of Charlotte down by the water and enjoying the sand. They had a great time and loved spending the afternoon with her.

Once they got back from the beach, it was snack time!!!

I've gotta give my girl credit, she LOVES to share! (everything except oreos that is)

Deep in thought about the grape in her mouth.

She doesn't LOVE sitting on laps anymore, she's way too busy. BUT when there is food involved, Charlotte doesn't mind sitting on someone's lap.

Again, she is great with the sharing.

Charlotte was so very excited that Mimi's neighbors had decorated for Easter. They had eggs hanging from the tree. Naturally she figured there were oreos in all of those as well.

It was a beautiful day! :)

We were so happy to be able to drive up and see them. We started the drive home around 3:15ish. Charlotte slept about halfway home and was restless the other half of the way. I was hoping that trip down to the beach would exhaust and leave me with a very quiet drive home...not so much. But we made it. We were both exhausted that night after having been to Georgia and back and to Myrtle Beach area and back all within a few days.

Thank you for a great day! The food was delicious and Charlotte LOVED all of the attention she got... obviously.
