NC Easter

Fishing on Hogback Creek
Funny Story: My dad and step-mom's cabin is on Hogback Mountain (also called Toxaway Mountain), and the community around them has a few shops named after this major geological feature.  This included the unfortunately named "Hogback Fashions."

Saturday, we had a big Easter dinner, egg hunt, and fireworks.  Because nothing says Easter like lighting things on fire -- in a state where fireworks are illegal.


Not only were we constantly on the lookout for the police, but we also had to be ready to run if a rocket ricocheted off of the dense tree branches.

Gaffney's Giant Peach
(L&L thought they should build a water tower like this
at the top of the white cliffs in the South of England.)

Livia is wearing a Christmas Tree angel on her head.
I think it looks really fashionable.

Industrial Vacation

I went down South with the girls for Spring Break.  In the SC Upstate, I went with my mother to document the beautiful old mills found all over there (and an old bridge).
