Depart for New Orleans…

June 17 – Tuesday 80's, and sunny

Today is our last day in South Carolina. We will be leaving for New Orleans tomorrow. A cold front has come through and has provided relief in the low 80's. Jeff and I got up early and went fishing. I caught nothing except a tiger swallowtail for Ethan's collection. Jeff was using crickets and caught some Brim, better known as yellow bellies or sunfish. They were actually nice size. We came back in and Therese did some packing while I roasted coffee. We decided to send some light things back home. By now we figured out that we had packed too much stuff. We should have prioritized and only brought half of what we did. Oh well. We needed some sun reflection screens for the windows, fix-a-flat, and some transmission oil so we went back to Wal-Mart. While we were out, we stopped one of Jeff's favorite restaurants Mimi's. It was fantastic and they gave us a gift for being first-timers (4 pack of homemade muffins). After Eating dinner, we went back to camp and started a bon-fire. The kids made smores. The evening was cool and great. There was a very white and large full moon. In my mind I was saying go fishing but given that we had to leave the next day decided to retire early.
