During Independence Day week, we and Marilyn (Lillian’s mother) stayed in a lovely beachside condo at Wild Dunes Resort on Isle of Palms, SC (outside of Charleston). On a dinner cruise, Matt and Lillian fulfilled the requirement of doing the Charleston dance in the city where it was founded. The rest of the time we enjoyed the beach, pool, and many area attractions. Felicity proved to be a real beach baby, and was delighted to meet lots of live animals on the trip.
Hello Charleston!

Felicity discovers the pool
Woah, this is a lot bigger than the bathtub!
Pretty in polka dots
The pool is really cool!
You don't scare me! I laugh at you, shark.
Even in the pool, I like Daddy's shoulders best.
