A weekend in Charleston

Another great weekend in Charleston, with the temperatures ranging from 18 to 28 degrees Celsius. We were enjoying both the 'cold' and warm weather, as Charleston is always charming, no matter what. Our indoor activities included the South Carolina Aquarium and two evenings at Lana's, the best restaurant ever. The food is soooo delicious. I guess we are lucky that we don't live in Charleston, otherwise we would be broke and overweight, not a very flattering combination.

Squatting is Lia's new thing. Every time I pull out my camera, she is squatting down, trying to pose. Here is a little video of Lia squatting at Lana's. (No, she's not pooping.)
And a picture of Lia in leg warmers. I seriously have fallen for these. They are perfect for changing diapers and ideal for the East Coast fall, allowing for a light breeze. Not to mention gym classes, where she needs to be barefoot.



So much for 18 degrees. 28 degrees on Saturday made us strip and drive out to the beach.


Another short video of Lia at the Isle of Palms.


Some cuddly pics at the beach (ok, nothing like Tamara's immaculate and arty shots, but cute all the same)

And a well deserved foot massage in our hotel room after three days of Southern fun. Aaah.

Lia ist einfach ein Kind der Globalisierung. Und diese Hockstellung ist schon Vorbereitung auf asiatische Hockklos - da spielt die Zukunft (in China wird auf den nach allen Seiten offenen Toiletten diskutiert und telefoniert). Wirklich clever!

I'm jealous. More beach pictures. Sigh.

Cool leg warmers, though, I do agree.

a sudden 10 degree drop in uk temperatures, a sudden 10 degree rise in us temperatures - related?

Alexandra said...

in other words, not fair! send us some legwarmers, WE need them since YOU took our ten!

on the other hand, there's ebay, so no worries. i love the top two pics, and the photogenic signature squat, and the super-size bow (of which i am hereby ordering one or two, they're not on ebay). and the beach? well. verry nice sand and all, but the background? beats ramsgate to it, i'd say... of course there's the not so minor issue of The Ten, so you still win.

Lorenzo copies Lia even via blog-video...Lia squats, Lorenzo squats. Crazy kids.

Positive affirmation. Lorenzo knows the way to a young girl's heart!
