Family Time

We all came to participate in Clay's Soccer Tournament this weekend. Since I love Charleston, I wanted to come early enough to share the city with the children. My favorite part is the hotel. Nothing brings a family together like trips in one hotel room. When everyone has their own room, it provides them space but distance too. In one room, we have to watch the same show, listen to the same music, and get ready together. We have laughed together, shopped together and even listened to the kids' i pods. Some of my most vivid memories are of family trips when I was young. I hope our children will feel the same way when they get older. Harbor Rides, tours of the historic city, fun meals, or the mule farting on Dad at the front of the carriage. We take our memories as they come. And by the time we get out of the car at the end of the trip, we will all be crazy. But someday, we will remember.
