What follows is a "photo-story" about that leg of my once-per-year trip East. . .
Arrived Columbia SC airport at 9:30am Thursday, November 16th. . .
Mikey's home. But he wasn't home. . . He was at work when I got there.
So I walked around and took a few pictures. . . .
That Friday was Movie Night at Michael's school. . . . ELF
The gym near Michael's place:
Saturday, we went downtown to the weekly Farmers Market on Main Street. I noticed the banners celebrating the University of South Carolina's Girl's basketball team being the winners of the National Championship. . . .
This guy played one HECK of a wailing sax!
Chain-link?!
Everything was being sold at the Farmers Market. . . .
Mikey. . .
A well-decorated sewing machine. . .
NO thank you. . . .
State Capitol dome is just a block away from the last of the Farmers Market tents. . .
Wait a minute! Tho we are in the East, I don't see any BAY here. But I _know_ where there's an East Bay. . .
This was for sale at Farmers Market. Similarity with today's politics is _uncanny_. (Blow it up and read it.)
Nice ride!
Mikey's front license plate. . . . His RAFT is on it. . .
Dinner with Piper, Meredith, Michael, and Gabbi on evening of Monday, November 20th, at California Dreaming restaurant in Columbia, SC. . .
Then, on Tuesday evening, we left for New York. Stopped over on Tuesday night in Rocky Mount, North Carolina and continued on our way to my sis-in-law's in New Jersey on Wednesday morning. On Wednesday - the day before Thanksgiving - "From Atlantic to Pacific, oh, the traffic was terrific."
26 minutes turned out to be 49 minutes instead. . . .
Running very late, it seemed as if Washington was "giving us the finger."
George was bigger than Thomas. . .
We drove late into the night. . . I think that this was at toll booths just before the Baltimore Mid-Harbor Tunnel. . .
Our 1st morning in NJ, Thanksgiving, we had breakfast at the Saddle Brook Diner. The "drive-in mural" with the Jumbo screen TV in it impressed me. . .
Got to Liz's later that morning. . .
She's had this toy for YEARS, and has NEVER opened it. . .
Charleigh is ready for dessert!
VERY ready for dessert!
Family of the year!
To be continued. . . .
