Sunday we got dressed up a bit in celebration of Easter and headed to Middleton Place Plantation for an early lunch. We missed that we weren't celebrating our first Easter at Brentwood Methodist, but when we requested Tyler's vacation back in mid 2012 we didn't realize Easter was so early this year! It was a great meal with gorgeous views. Afterwards, we explored the grounds which were beautiful. The azaleas are in bloom for a few weeks & luckily it was while we were there. Jack literally walked the entire Plantation grounds with us & particularly loved the horses, cows, guineas, & sheep.
We were exhausted by the end & hit the road around 3:30. We (tyler since he's the driver) decided to do the whole drive in one day & get back to Nashville late at night. Jack is a good sleeper in the car, so we were able to put him in his pj's after dinner in Columbia & he slept from about 8 until we got home about midnight. The drive was a bit scary because of rain & fog, but Tyler handled it like a champ and we were excited to get home & see Jake.
Vacations are hard when you're on a budget, but I know that the memories will outlast money. We had such a great time on our first real trip as a family and I can't wait to do it again for many years to come!
