i enjoyed taking my brother & his family
to some of our favorite urban spots -
both for eats & for feets.
YUM! Crafted Art of the Taco is a MUST.
we enjoyed trying the bacon jar &
agreed that the caramel was the best.
 |
| happy with our taco creations - SLURP! |
then, OF COURSE, we walked a few blocks up town
to check out LeBauer Park!

a little wet on one end, due to the sunshine -
but the stiff breeze helped make it feel a bit like winter.

| L-R: Alex, Samantha, & Joseph |
there were one or two competent skaters on the ice,
and my two got a bit of a lesson from one of them.

once you've decided you're done with skating,
you can try your hand at a small sledding hill.
the bigger you are, the harder you wipe out.
 |
| i spy.... |
 |
| two footballs. |
finally,
the teenager had a good excuse
to play on the merry-go-round :)
fun for everyone!

my Charleston relatives decided to buy
