We drove the 500 miles to Charleston on Thursday. The I-95 was pretty busy but we were not held up. We dropped off our luggage at the B&B at about 4 PM and headed over to the Taylor's. Mason was pleased to see us.
Shopping on Friday and lunch with Kylie. Babysat Mason in the afternoon because his "school" closed.
Saturday morning we picked up Mason and took him downtown to enjoy the Christmas atmosphere. The Charleston Place Hotel is very posh and every Xmas erects a fabulous model train display in their foyer. As expected, Mason was enthralled.
Saturday night (Xmas Eve) we attended "Uncle Bill's Christmas Party" - as we have the last 5 years?
On the BIG DAY we were at the Taylor's by about 9 AM to participate in the annual celebration of material excess. Sunday afternoon we were invited to the senior Taylor's at "The Creek" for dinner and gifts, very pleasant. The senior Taylors are very generous.
Quiet day on Monday. Highlight was lunch with boating friends (Kathleen and Mike and daughters) down at Shem Creek. That evening Deidre made dinner for the family at the young Taylors.
Tuesday morning we enjoyed breakfast with Magnus and Charlotte, and then headed south. The traffic was very heavy but once we hot Georgia (and the I-95 expanded to three lanes) we made good time. Back on Tide Hiker by 6:30 PM. Friends barb and Don also arrived "home" today, and joined us for a drink and a chat before bed.
