South Carolina

Bode and I spent the last few days in South Carolina visiting my father and his wife, Janet.  We had a lovely time--we managed to do a lot while also relaxing a lot in the days that we were there.  They live on an island that has three golf courses, which means we spent a large amount of time golfing.  Even Bode got into the swing of things.  Here's a picture of Bode in front of one of the many ponds.  It's hard to tell, but there is a gator swimming in the water behind him.

Bode enjoyed the golf, but I think the best part was the driving of the golf cart.

Here's one movie of Bode hitting a wedge--not too shabby.

As I said, there were some gators about...

It was a little eerie being near water with gators, but they were quite skittish and left us alone.   That being said, we didn't go fishing for too many balls out of the water.  Before one of the rounds, we stopped for some pictures.

Here's a movie of Bode hitting his driver--he actually does well when he connects (but there is the occasional whiff...)

Bode liked the birds--he might have a future as a wild-life photographer.

We had a lovely brunch at The Rhett House in down-town Beaufort, which has some amazing old houses.  I should have taken more pictures, but this is the best one I got...

We also swam in the club pool every day, and Bode and I managed a couple days on the tennis courts.  We needed to do all this exercise, because we probably ate too much food at night :-)  We had a wonderful visit to South Carolina and were sad to come back to the real world :-)  We got home today, and are both a little tired due to getting up early.  We'll goof off the rest of the afternoon and rejoin society tomorrow :-)  Pleasant day to all!
