Last night Trey and I had to attend the Southeastern Wildlife Expo Preview Gala, so we shipped the boys off to my parents’ for the night. Last year when we had to do all the SEWE events, we sent the boys up to Trey’s parents for the weekend. That was great, but I found myself wishing they were here to enjoy the SEWE events. So this year we decided to send them to Pinopolis for the night (and it worked great because they both were out of school on Friday and Monday), and then I went and got them today so we can spend tomorrow at the expo with them (and then we have a babysitter for when we need to go to an event on Saturday night).
Anyway, they hadn’t stayed with Mom & Dad for awhile, so that was good, and when I got there to pick them up we decided to walk down to Wampee (it’s now a conference center for Santee Cooper, but the main house was…now my mind is blanking, but I think it was a summer house for a plantation that was where the lake is now—or else it was the plantation). It’s a good walk and a great place for riding bikes with very little (to none) car traffic.
I don’t take enough time anymore to take random close-ups of the boys, so here they are!
That’s the main house there…I had some of my bridal portraits taken there. :-)
Just for fun, I saw some of Trey’s favorite creatures—bees! I couldn’t help but snap a few pictures of them looking so beautiful on all the Carolina jessamine. It is February, right?
And speaking of “just for fun,” I found this picture on a site with lots of pictures of the SEWE Gala we attended last night. I’m not sure they captured the accurate color of my dress, but whatever, it’s not often we are all dressed up with somewhere to go.
That’s one of his work colleagues in the red dress, and the other woman is her friend and also one of Trey’s former Leadership Charleston classmates. It was a fun evening.
