Ralph's Visit

Our friend Ralph came down from New Jersey for a weekend visit.  Vito and Ralph spent a day four wheeling, played a little golf and as you can see learned how to play the drums.  We also forced him to make homemade pizza.  It was yummy!!  It was nice to just hang out and visit.  The only thing that would have made it better, was if Kim and the kids were here (and of course Nala, Scooter misses her.)  Thanks for the fun weekend.  We'll be your way soon!

Charleston

We spent some time in Charleston S.C. during spring break.  It is a very beautiful town full of history.  It was neat to see all of the different architecture and colors they use.  The city was full of wonderful smelling flowers.  We will definitely be back.  

Spring Break

We also camped a few days at Edisto Beach in South Carolina during spring break.  It is actually a protected estuary, therefore, there is not a lot of development there.  One interesting thing we learned about was the threatened loggerhead turtles (South Carolina's state reptile) .  They lay their eggs on the beach every summer and when ready, the babies swim out to sea. In years past they would get confused and follow the lights from the beach homes, end up on the streets, and possibly get ran over by a car.  Therefore the island has a very strict light ordinance.  Hopefully we will get back there during the summer to see the little turtles swim out to sea.  

Enjoy the Video of Scooter swimming in the Atlantic Ocean.  Scooter's claim to fame is that he has swam in both the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans.  Which one will he conquer next?
