Mom and Dad Holmes drop in for a visit!

Lola and Lucy's grandparents dropped in for a long weekend and that means lots of fun, sun, water, and good food.

First Adventure: private dolphin tour!

okay, so it wasn't intended to be a dolphin tour, but that's what it turned into! Patrick and his parents went out for a little sailing, and ended up chasing dolphins all over Charleston Harbor. Here's some pics from the voyage.

DOLPHIN!

Mom's butterfly followed her all the way down to Charleston!

Day 2 of sailing!

We may have been out in the same areas sailing around, but when we closed our eyes, it felt more like we were off the coast of Newport! Cool fall breezes and sun in our face was all we needed for a relaxing day on the water.

UPSIDE DOWN DOLPHIN!

WE'RE ON A BOAT!.... or more accurately A YACHT!

When guests are in town, we like to spend as much time in the water as possible. When we no longer want the responsibility of driving the boat, we hire someone else! Here's some pics from our private sunset cruise on the Blue Hour a 50' yacht docked in the harbor.

When you are on a yacht in a comfortable seat, and don't want to get up for another glass, the only solution is to have 2! Double Fisting!

Best Sunset View Ever!

Nothing says Classy Yachting like wine with ice

EXPLORING THE YACHT!

When the Captain's away, the Crew will play! Captain Bob left us alone, and we did some serious exploring.... Here's some pictures from the rest of the yacht.
