Isle of Palms 2023

The day after Ava’s birthday, we packed up the car and headed to Isle of Palms for a short beach trip. We stopped in downtown Charleston for a special treat at Carmella’s bakery and the girls each got a mini cake (that was actually huge for each of them). We realized after the fact that they had little mug cake versions that we missed when we were ordering. After eating their fill of cake, we headed straight to the beach because our hotel was not ready yet. We spent a few hours at the beach before heading to the hotel to check in and then to dinner. We chose a restaurant right near our hotel that was amazing for food sensitivities. It was so good, we decided to go back there the next night for supper too. Our 2nd day was spent completely on the beach….which ended with DJ and I sunburnt and all of us exhausted. But, we loved our time looking for shells, jumping the waves and building sandcastles. We headed home the next day after lunch at a fun breakfast restaurant. It was short trip but such a fun trip enjoying the beautiful beach!
