Mother Daughter Day! Yea!

Christie and I took all day yesterday and had our Mother Daughter Day.  We hadn't done it in so long and were way overdue.

We spent all day in Charleston.  I love this picture because it is so "Girlie" and we were having a girlie day!

But we actually began our day at 8 in the morning at Charleston's oldest public cemetery.  I understand that not everyone loves old cemeteries the way I do - Kirby even thinks it is kind of weird - but I love them and fortunately for me, so does my daughter, Christie.  We wandered around for about an hour taking pictures and making up stories about the people who were buried there.

And then it was on to downtown and the historical area of Charleston.  We never tire of walking the streets and walked and walked and walked enjoying the flowers, the gates and doors and the color of the whole area. The way the homes have been restored is amazing.  Each detail seems to take you right back to the 1800's.

Christie makes friends with dogs wherever she goes.  I looked back and found her scratching his ears through the fence.

We marveled over this garden.  As I was saying, "It is so....", Christie finished my sentence for me as I couldn't find the right word, "interesting".  It was in stark contrast to all the formal gardens we had been enjoying.

After walking the for blocks and blocks we settled on Blossom for a wonderful lunch.

And on our way back to the car we spotted this.  No one was around and I couldn't tell which car was parked there first but it didn't look nice.  Ah, the streets are very crowded!
We finished our day with lavish pedicures - a fitting end to a perfect day!
