Just a few weeks ago Rob and I took a 4 day trip to visit my dad in South Carolina. We arrived in Charleston, SC on Friday, January 11th at 9pm and stayed at the Andrew Pinckney Inn in downtown Charleston for the night.
That night, it rained hard enough to prevent us from walking around downtown any further than one block to FIG's which was a yummy locovorian restaurant. The next morning, the rain finally stopped about 10am and we had just about an hour to walk around before meeting up with my dad. This was Rob's first visit to Charleston and it was way too short, so we'll have to go back for a longer visit in the future. He did get to see the condo where I used to live and where I went to medical school (the Medical University of South Carolina).
My dad, Buddie, drove to Charleston to meet us that Saturday afternoon for lunch in Charleston before driving us to his house in Fairfax, SC. It's hard to say for sure but I think Rob was most impressed with the mounted deer heads Dad has accumulated throughout the years, which is just part of the sportsman's paradise he has created for himself.
Here we are with my dad going for a drive in the Ranger, which is kind of like a golf cart on steroids. Dad and his best friend, Mr. Goat (a.k.a. Francis Hills), use the Ranger to get around on Mr. Goat's 600+ acre property, the Eu-Ral. This is where they do most of their hunting.
Mr. Goat's dog, Nancy, decided to come along for the ride. We had a great time with my dad who has always had great love for hunting and fishing and is getting to enjoy that as much as possible during his retirement. I am ever grateful that Rob sacrificed a great weekend of powder in Salt Lake to take this trip with me.
