Our First Vacation

With Siena of course. The Knolls like to travel so we weren't about to sit this year out just because we have a new addition to the family. So off we went to Savannah, GA where we explored the city in a trolley car and took a haunted history walking tour, a must since this is the most haunted city in the US. We strolled along the River Street and through the city squares, stuffing ourselves full of good food, including Paula Deen's cuisine. Our mini companion rarely complained and was happy to sit in her stroller, until dinner came to the table.

Then on to Charleston, named for King Charles II. So many exquisite houses throughout the years and shops to see and Siena wasn't the one to keep us from seeing them all but time and money. We visited the Citadel, Ft. Sumter and the aircraft carrier Yorktown with Grandma Knoll and her family from the south. Of course, no trip to the South is complete without some beach time. Siena got her first taste of the ocean but we may have to wait for warmer days for swim lessons.

Our last stop was to introduce Siena to her oldest living relative on Angela's side of the family, her great, great aunt in western South Carolina. We returned home to a dry home, unlike so many people in the middle Tennessee area after history making rainfall on our drive home. We were so blessed to have a week together, a safe trip and our warm home to return to.
