Beaufort, SC

Last weekend, we traveled down to Early Branch, SC.  Early Branch is so back in the woods/marsh lands that the map app on our phones was USELESS! ;) But my dad knows the area like the back of his hand b/c it is where he grew up. I haven't been to SC to see the Smoak extended family in 5 or 6 years, so it was great to see aunts and uncles and let them meet our children. My talkative nature is definitely a Smoak trait, that sadly resulted in no pictures. I can't believe I didn't get one picture. Not even with my parents! :/

Saturday morning before the reunion, we were able to take the kids to Beaufort. It was a lot of fun showing them where my dad started his career as a Marine (Parris Island), and the air base my dad worked at when my brother was born. They train fighter jets at this particular airfield and Graeme was beside himself as he could see the tail end of fighters sitting on the tarmac. We also drove down to the waterfront and took in the GORGEOUS views and homes. It was a fun little morning excursion. I was able to get a few pictures of Beaufort b/c I wasn't running my mouth with anyone! ha

4 hours one way in a car can make you a little ccrraazzyy....
