When the kids are away...

the parents will play! 

My parents took the boys this weekend so that they could have some quality time together.  Well that is the reason I presented them with; but really it was so that Dave and I could have a weekend together.  We always say we want to do certain things, but they require babysitters for long periods of time.  Like taking the boat out for dinner and just hanging out and fishing.  Well, the fishing was Dave's idea, but it was fun to hang out on the Cooper River together.  We did this after we docked the boat at RB's on Shem Creek.  We didn't catch any fish, but I have my license for the year.

That was Friday night.  On Saturday we slept until 9!  Even the dog did not wake us up!  After hanging around the house, we took in a movie, ate lunch and headed to Folly Beach for our induction into paddle boarding.  That is a sport that I want to do more often.  It really is a whole different water experience from being on a boat.  It is almost like walking on water. 

So we had a staycation weekend for the two of us.  I think we need a few more days though...so many fun things to do in Charleston!
