Family Vacation Part 2- No stroller?

   Day two of our vacation started like most days at home, with Emily Grace waking up around 6am ready to play. I woke up missing our bed. Emily usually ends up sleeping with us still at some point in the middle of the night. Our hotel room has two full size beds. Doug, Emily and I all in a full size bed is crowded. I kept waking up thinking I was going to drop Emily off the side or I would fall off the side.  We ended out around 8am to go to downtown Charleston. Charleston is beautiful. There's all these amazing old buildings and this awesome waterfront park. We just walked around downtown. Doug pointed out all these cool little things he learned while he lived there, like there's these cool spots in the waterfront park where you can hear an echo when you talk in a normal voice but anyone standing in front of you can't hear it.

  Then we went on a carriage ride. It was so fun. Emily was pretty good for it till the end when she started to get a little cranky.  There are a couple different carriage ride compaines, so to keep the carriage traffic from building up in one area too much before you head out on your tour,  the carriage stops at a little booth where a city worker gives you a sign that goes on the carriage of which of three zones you go to. They chose it by lottery balls. So you could go on tours all day long and not see all 3 zones since you don't know which one you'll be on till your tour has started. 

  We had dinner at this place Doug told me about called Bubba's Gump. If you've seen Forest Gump and liked it you'd love this place. There's stuff from the movie all over the place. The food is really good! I only had one problem with it. Emily was in her stroller and they asked us to leave the stoller up front at the hostess stand. It makes since if you have a toddler who could sit in a highchair. But Emily is 2 months old! She can't sit up on her own yet! We tried a highchair and rolled up her blanket to stick around her to try to make it a little safer. I had to keep one hand on her and she still almost wacked her head against the side of it a couple times. When the waitress came by again I asked if we could have her stroller and explained to her that a 2 month old is really too young for that highchair and since there was plenty of room for it by our table without being in the way could we please bring it to the table. She said it was fine and we got it. Why in the world would they think a baby so little could sit up in chair like that? 

  Well Emily's asleep, so I'm following the number one mommy rule and sleeping when she does.
