Last week, June 14-18, 2008, Louis, Alicia, and I visited South Carolina. We stayed in a beautiful bed and breakfast, complete with down comforters, antique collectibles, and southern food. The highlight of our trip, though, was the trip to the Gullah Museum. Here, we learned about the origination of rice cultivation and of the African-Americans that live in South Carolina’s Sandy Island. The lessons were very interesting. This was our family’s first plane ride together. Sweet Pea was a bit sour on the plane. She didn’t particularly like the confinement and the unfamiliar atmosphere. My baby was elated when we came back home to her own stomping grounds.
