We left home on Wednesday afternoon and spent the night at the Flying J Truck Stop in SC. Here we are heading  south on I-95 in SC on Thursday morning. What is wrong with this picture? Give up? There isn’t any traffic! This is basically what 95 looked like the entire time we were traveling on it. I guess people are staying home this year.
	After setting up camp, we drove into Charleston. This is what we saw while driving in. Wow! Clay got a big kick out of this one. It was funny. The guy was just driving down the street with the door in the back of the truck. it was some kind of city or county vehicle. This was a hoot!

	We visited the Charleston Visitor’s Center and the Museum. Then we walked down Meeting St. It was rush hour at this time.  After much discussion, the decision was made to eat at the highly recommended Hyman’s Seafood. After walking about a mile, we finally found it. We thought we would be in for a wait, but since it was only 5:45 by this time, we were immediately taken to our table.
	After being seated, our little waitress brought this bowl to our table. I thought "what the heck"! Take a look at this! This is a bowl of boiled peanuts. And all of the peanuts had at least 3 nuts in them! This was an anomaly!
	After an appetizer of fried green tomatoes, our meal  is shrimp and grits, crabcake,  very spicy shrimp and oysters. Don’t forget the hot fries and the homemade hush puppies too! Yumm good! I was glad we had a long walk back to the car. At least we could walk our dinner off some. No dessert tonight.

	Look who we hooked up with on Friday! None other than my bro Billy and wife Cathey! What fun we had! After a artery clogging lunch at Jestine’s, sorry no website, we toured the Market area. Then we took a carriage ride. What a great tour guide we had too. It was very interesting and it was so much fun to be with my bro!
	This is us! Look at Clay. He thought it was funny! So many memories today!

	Ok, so today is Sat. We decided to do the Fort Sumter, Patriot’s Point tour today. We are taking the 10:45 tour this morning. We arrive and the smaller boat is just docking. There are a lot of Scout’s disembarking. I think it must be a Scout weekend.
	This is the new Arthur Ravenel bridge over the Cooper River. It is massive! Read all about it because it is very interesting. At least I think so.

	So this is Fort Sumter. So rich in history is this area of the country. It was a nice trip down the river to the fort. Nice and breezy.
	This is the sign on the island. The boat tour drops you off and you get 1 hour on the island. I thought, that is way too much. But as it turned out, I had to threaten to leave Clay behind because I did not want to miss the boat going back! And they would leave you!
	This is a massive cannon, eh? I cannot imagine how those guys were able to fire these things and not have ear protection!

So after the tour, we drove back into downtown Charleston to the Market area. We had seen some things yesterday that we wanted to buy. One of them is a Sweet Grass basket. Yeppers! We finally own one of these babies. What an investment! These people really pride themselves on their baskets. And, shhh, they are open to bartering!

	Ok..Look at me in my new seat! I can sit at the table with grown ups now! Oh wow! This is so much fun!  Mommy, Daddy and I went camping with Gammy and Pop Pop in their MAG1CBUS. We went to Jordan Lake and stayed at Poplar Point Campground. Oh and don’t forget Kobi! He was there too!
	Here I am inside Gammy and Pop Pop’s Motorhome! I am crawling around exploring everything! I have plenty of room to crawl. I even managed to stay out of my brother’s Kobi bowls even though they were close by.
	I’m going for a stroll in my stroller! This is going to be fun. I have a lot of new things to look at! I love my Sock Monkey.
	Here I am getting my feet wet for the first time in the Lake! Look at my new bathing suit and check out my hair! I am so cool with my new pigtails! I just don’t know what to think about this water thing and what is that under my feet? It feels funny. But Daddy is holding me so it must be ok.

	This is a close up shot of my feet. I just don’t know about this. I’m not so sure I like it. It feels weird.
	Uh oh! Why did they sit me here and leave me? Daddy isn’t holding me anymore. Don’t leave me Daddy and Mommy!
	Look at me with my Gammy and Pop Pop in front of the Motorhome! This is the last day and I am getting ready to go home. I have had a fun weekend and some good food too!

This is where I stayed most of the day while outside. I like my pack and play. I have all of my toys with me and I can stand up and look out at everyone! This is so much fun! What have I been missing all my life???

	This was taken at Buca Di Beppo on Friday evening, May 9. This was Scott’s gift to Kevin. How more appropriate could you get? Kevin loves his Philadelphia Eagles and he was Scott’s best man at the wedding! How cool!
	This is a great shot of Andrea, Scott and Scott’s family. Look at those dude’s in the background! They look like they are the Mafia or something and they are in the picture too!

	Look at the brother’s! This is a very happy day for Scott and it shows!
	Ronnie, Kevin and Maddie. She is such a little picture ham! She loves to see the camera coming. Makes you wonder what is going on in that little blond head of hers! Ronnie and Kevin look gorgeous together as usual!
	And here we are! See, you can dress us up and take us out! Not a bad looking couple! We are so proud of Scott and it shows!
	And here are Scott’s VERY proud grandparents! They are so happy to be with everyone in one place. This does not happen too often now.

Here is Billy from Colorado and Mike from California with Ronnie. What a great picture! Maddie took to Mike and did not mind him holding her. I was so glad to see these guys! They came a long ways for this wedding. We got a chance to spend some time with them and shoot the breeze.

	Here is the beautiful bride with the proud Dad. The setting is The Morning Glory Inn in Pittsburgh. It was such a gorgeous day for Pittsburgh too! It was almost like this marriage was meant to be. The sun was shining and it was about 65 out. Wonderful!
	You know they always say that a picture says a thousand words. This is so true in this one. They are such a gorgeous couple and only they know what thoughts they are thinking at this moment. The arbor was the perfect place for the ceremony.

Here is Andrea and Scott with her whole family. How lovely everyone looks. Will and Iris are too funny! Will was Ring Bearer and Iris was the Flower Girl. Iris had on a pretty dress!

What a wonderful family picture. These are the proud parents. We are so happy to have Andrea in our family. She has great parents too. I don’t think that Scott could be happier at this moment. (But, aren’t we all happy?)

And one more time with the Bride, these are Scott’s proud Grandparents! Even Alton had a smile. Do you know how hard it is to get him to smile for a picture? It is almost impossible!

We had a WONDERFUL wedding last weekend! We have been sooo busy this last week just trying to catch up. We did not unpack until today from last weekend. (And there are just 2 of us!)  Oh well, we had a GREAT time at the wedding and the Pittsburgh trip was surely something all of us will remember for a long time!

I guess pictures will come later??!!!! As Scott and Andrea tied the knot, there was a lot going on. Sigh!!!  We are very happy for them. I know they are back from their honeymoon today, Saturday ( May 17, 2008.)

	Well, if you go to the beach, you have to eat out at least once. And if you have ever been to Myrtle, you know there are as many restaurants here as there are shells on the beach, AND THAT IS A LOT!! This is the lake at Barefoot Landing on the back side. The birds are enjoying the afternoon sun.
	And if you know me, I can’t pass up anything that has CRAB on it.  The Crabhouse was a good place to eat, not great, but good. The service was good too. This is not a place I would definitely go back too though.

This was the high light of the evening. We always have to have dessert. This was fantastic. I can’t remember the name of this creation but check out the crabs on the plate! Cool!
