South Carolina

We decided to break out from the quarantine and take a road trip up to South Carolina to see my father and his wife, Janet.  We made the trip in just over seven hours, which would have been much less had Bode not drunk so much gatorade in the car.  The golf was rained out the first day--it rained the night before, so the day was actually quite beautiful, but the course was water-logged, which forced us to spend some quality time at the pool.  Fortunately, we were able to golf the remaining days, and Bode even went with us.  Here's a picture of Bode and Mom; he's getting so big.  He didn't have any collared shirts that fit him, so he had to wear some of mine.

We aren't sure if Bode likes the golfing part of golf or the cart-riding part of the golf...but either way, at least he's outside.

He's actually hitting the ball quite well for never having taken a lesson or having someone that knows what they are doing teach him.

On one of our outings, we had some extra time to take some pictures, which all turned out real nice.

One of our golf-days was Father's day, so it was nice to get out and play with the old man.

You do have to be careful around the water hazards on these courses, as each pond has a gator or two swimming around.  Some are tiny, but some could probably cause you some worry.  We saw this one crossing the road and gave it a wide birth.

We spent a lot of time at the pool when we weren't golfing, but, as Ashley says, no one wants to see pictures of that :-)  We also went out to dinner a few times, and took more photos.  Bode was nice enough to ask, "Why do we need so many pictures?"  He's so difficult.

We had a very nice time in South Carolina.  We returned home today to a lot of wet and rain, so once I get the grocery shopping done, we'll probably hole up inside and watch a movie.  Pleasant week to all.
