SB07:Day 2

(Please click on the photo to see more pictures.)

So, we finally made it out of Michigan today. Our new tickets took us through Boston to South Carolina. It almost doubled our total air travel time, but worse off, it added an extra up and down meaning two more times for Jake's ears to have to adjust to the pressure.

Jake slept through the first take-off, and was MISERABLE during the first landing. He took a bottle and slept for the whole flight from Boston, and was very playful and didn't seem bothered by the pressure change on the landing at all.

Over all, I think he was a pretty good baby on the plane. There were quite a few other kids on the plane and many were quite a bit louder than Jake.

After arriving in Myrtle Beach, we immediately headed to find lunch. We found a restaurant called Sticky Fingers right outside the airport and we all really enjoyed the barbecue food. We then started our 3+ hour drive down to Edisto Island.

On the way down we eventually managed to find a Starbucks and then also had to go grocery shopping. In order to save space while packing we opted to just buy diapers and food for Jake when we arrived. As long as we got enough diapers, I think the plan worked out well.

The house we are staying in seems really nice. I hope to get some shots of it tomorrow. We're planning on heading back up to Charleston tomorrow. Michele and Teri will be taking a "Low Country" cooking class, and Jake, Pete, and I hope to visit the aquarium.

Once again, I want to apologize for the quality of the photos, but my connection is slower than dialup.

Also, we realized that it wasn't all bad that we didn't get to fly out yesterday. First off, we got to have a delicious dinner with the Pruss family which included a GIANT ham. Also, we got to go to the Easter Vigil at our own church which was very nice. Then, I got to watch (on Tivo-delay) the Spartans beat Boston College to become the 2007 National Champions of NCAA hockey. They were down by a goal and then finally scored to tie it up on a power play with about 10 minutes left. Then, with only about 20 seconds left on the clock, they scored the go-ahead goal. That forced BC to pull their goalie, allowing the Spartans one last empty-net goal, and gave them a 3-1 victory.
