Happy Birthday

It's my BIRTHDAY!!!! Happy Birthday to me! I am 37 today. Savannah here we come for a day of fun! Can you tell I like celebrating things! :)

Today's Adventure

It was so pretty today, that I couldn't bear to stay inside. So after I had finished my lesson plans, I got dressed and set off for the bluff for some reading, picture taking, and exploring. Upon arriving, I was greeted by the sight of FOUR police cars parked at the front of TCOTC... another post for another time. Anyway, enjoy the pix of today's adventure.

See the black object on the dock? That was a piece of equipment the police were using for their training.



A neat place to visit. Lots and lots of fresh seafood!

These would be oyster shells.

While hiking, I found this. Not sure what animal this trip would be for, but I found several sardine cans. There was one in the trap with some sardines that hadn't been consumed.

The May River runs through here

and here.

If you look waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay though the tree limb ahead, you can see the back side

(at least part of it) of The Church of the Cross.

Who let the cat out the bag!?

I had a surprise last Tuesday (Dec 23) when I arrived at my parents. My college roommate, Paula (from my freshman and sophmore years) emailed me to let me know that she and her family would be in Savannah this last Sunday ( the 28th). For the last two days, we have walked down memory lane sharing memories and past adventures during our years at PC (Presbyterian College) and laughing at some of the sayings and mannerisms of one of our suite mates ( no offense, Leigh if you're reading this). We had dinner in Savannah Sunday night and spent this afternoon walking around Old Town Bluffton (stopping at certain places) and hanging out at Hilton Head. Because it's been so long since Paula and I had seen each either, we had a lot of fun reminising about our PC days as well as her and Jeff's wedding weekend.

Oops!

What's wrong with this picture? 20 points if you get the answer right.
