Memorial Day Weekend & Charleston's Piccolo Spoleto Festival


We had a fun weekend in Charleston over Memorial Day Weekend with Grandma Janet and Grandpa Carl. Let’s just say the kids took full advantage of their situation - hotel sleep-overs, trips to Starbucks every morning, etc...

Here’s a photo album from our time in Charleston, including our participation (sort of) in the Piccolo Spoleto Festival, Charleston's local version of Spoleto USA. The sailboat that was to be a part of an opening night performance taking place at our marina - by a group called Aqua Mundi - had engine trouble. As a result, Jubilee accompanied the trawler sent in at the last minute as an “under-study” for an evening sail so that the performers could make an appropriate entrance for their opera/poetry reading.

Our role was rather minimal, but the boys got to ride on the trawler with the Italian performers which they thought was quite fun (apparently, there were cookies). Also, it was a lovely evening for a harbor tour.
