Charleston fun...

Sorry for the lack in posting but the Smith's have taken a little vacation to the beautiful Charleston, SC. We are enjoying the break form "normal life" to do fun things like go to the beach, walk around downtown, eat lots of good food & visit the Little Blue Bicycle bookstore!! It was so stinkin' hot but I drug Chris & the kids & they loved it!! I have tons of pictures & have gotten some great reading in!! Can't wait to share it with everyone! Happy reading everyone!! :)

Here is Kylie with the blue bicycle!!
