Our oldest nephew Alex is in the Navy and stationed in Charleston, SC becoming a nuclear engineer. Charleston has been on the top of my list of places to visit. I was so excited when we moved so close only 2 hours away. We decided on a day trip to visit Alex and tour the town...but mostly to see Alex. We decided to make our first stop at Patriots Point to tour the USS Yorktown. It was fun walking around with Alex because he had already learned so much about the Navy and their ships. He was good to explain all our dumb questions.
Nash absolutely adored Alex! He followed him around everywhere. Alex was so good with Nash, you can tell he is the oldest of 6 kids!
Asa was pretty good too, a little grumpy because of the humidity but not to bad for a little guy.
It was so bright, and we were pretty SWEATY from walking around. We all had some pretty nice sunburns!
We even saw DOLPHINS!
We wanted to treat Alex to lunch. We couldn't find a place to eat on the way to Patriots Point so we decided to eat on the ship...haha...bad idea the food was SO GROSS! And then we found out that THIS was the disgusting stuff Alex eats everyday. He was so nice and just ate it right up. Good thing we redeemed ourselves with a YUMMY southern meal!
