I remember before having grandchildren and hearing people say they were moving to be close to grandchildren and thinking it was nice, but now that I have 4 under 6 I can tell you that it is the most fun, exciting thing to see them, watch them grow and all the other things that go along with being close.

The fun excursions we take here in Charleston like the parks, the aquarium, walking around downtown or just walking in our neighborhood. There is always an adventure. One thing to do is take Amtrak to Savannah. We had taken our oldest two and now need to go again because one more has gotten to where he is older and wanting to go. We rode down a two hour trip hearing the whistle, stopping and going car to car. We arrived and spent the night downtown then went to the train musuem, had lunch on a caboose, walked everywhere then back on the train for dinner. (I remember the fancy dinners we had as children) well that has changed. It still was a thrill for them and a great “Memory maker” .

So now I know it’s fun to be close to the grands!
