Charleston Trip~March 2019

The last week of March brought around the time for our annual Charleston photography trip and the girls' spring break week.

Miss Allie was very excited with all she got to see, as you can tell!

This little lady is almost 2 years old! We even managed to get a few pictures of each of the girls too. My, they are growing up so quickly!

We saw a couple of new lighthouses on this trip also.



Our final stop of the trip was Hunting Island State Park.  The campground and state park had
