Spoleto

So Last night we managed to get to a Marionette Show from the Spoleto Festival. It was cute. Sam was more interested in the mechanics of it than the story. Still I was amazed to discover that he didn't really know the story of Cinderella? How did that happen?

After our time at the Puppet Show, we took a walk through downtown Charleston. WE had a nice time eating a wonderful dinner at Nick and Jim Grill on King STreet and then strolling through Market Street. I was amazed to discover that Dad had not really ever been to downtown Charleston. He enjoyed himself, mostly because it was a cool night. (or at least cooler than the day).

We stopped by Hyman's and got some ice cream. He will only eat sugar free so he waited until we strolled by Kilwin's on Market and had his dish of ice cream then. We had fun with a few of the venders. and walking off our dinner.

It was a nice night to be downtown and we made a fun family memory here in Charlesoton
