Some pictures from Charleston

I got to have nice long visit with my family in Charleston a couple weeks ago.  My first visit to my folks new home in the south.

Brian, Dad, and I went fishing out on the oyster flats in the rain the day I arrived.

Brian took care of the fly fishing.

Dad and I took care of the actually catching fish.

The weather felt familiar for the first few days (cold and rainy), but we got some nicer days towards the end of the week.  We made it out to Capers Island for a picnic.  A different sort of snag forest than I am used too.

 

We had a guest appearance from our good friends, Diana and James.  I dragged them down from North Carolina to run a 10k with Kim and me.  Here is our before shot.

 

A couple shots from the run over the cooper river.

worst selfie ever (but kind of hilarious).

after shot at Minero’s for post race lunch.

My folks and Rocky were nice enough to pick us up in Charleston by boat, so we would not have to take the bus home (the bridge into Charleston was closed for the run).

After the weekend, the crowds cleared out at the Comfort Inn, and Kim, Rocky, my Mom, and I got to go see the Angel live oak.  Pictures do not do justice to what a massive and pretty tree this is.

It was a great trip and I was very sad to say farewell, but it was nice to get home to these two.

Thanks for holding down the fort and taking care of our growing posse of ladies, Bret!
