O We Have to Say Goodbye, for the Summer

Friday morning, after MA fixed up two batches of Belgian Waffles, it was time to pack-up and begin our trek north, to Maine.

Thursday night we went to the beach on the north end of Hilton Head Island for a professional photography session. Camryn and Cecilia were all dressed up in white, as were Ashley and Javi (mostly). There were several other groups doing the same thing as the evening light was great for photography. It was a little like herding cats as we moved from location to location but, in the end, the proofs showed that some terrific portraits will be forthcoming.

Friday we drove around Charleston, SC to Mt. Pleasant where we are currently parked. I didn't want to drive US-17 thru downtown Charleston because I remember all the very tight streets from Berri's days at the College of Charleston. But, my concerns were unfounded. We later drove the Jeep thru CHS and realized that we would have had no problem with the coach. So we drove out of our way needlessly.

Saturday we drove down to Edisto Beach, a place MA has read about in Dorthea Benton Frank novels. It was a remote but charming beach community that was humming from summertime tourists.

We went to see the movie Talledega Nights and enjoyed it very much. Last October, while we were working a sale in Bennettsville, SC, we drove up to the Pinehurst, NC area. While returning to SC, we drove by the famous Rockingham Motor Speedway. We drove around and saw crews filming a new Will Farrell movie about NASCAR that had not yet been titled. Turned out to be Talledaga Nights.
