This was a pretty epic summer vacation. Probably deserves a few posts. But you get what you get and don't pitch a fit.
The Beach (Fripp Island, South Carolina)
We camped for a day and a half, and then Cait's family+ joined us for a week in a beach house. The water was great, the food fantastic, and the company plentiful.

Cait's family's house (Columbia, South Carolina)

| Cait purged old memorablia by taking photos and then trashing. How her life could have been different. |
 |
| So many games of Monopoly. So many. |

Wild Goose Music Festival, Hot Springs, North Carolina
This was a music festival that I got in for free to be part of a seminary student leadership group. We were kind of worn out and not feeling very Christiany, so it wasn't quite as fun as we had hoped, but we still had a really good time.
 |
| We made lots of friends |
 |
| Brian McLaren was one of the few speakers I recognized. Here he is telling fishing stories to the kids. |
 |
| Kids love fires |
 |
| And dancing |

| View on a morning run |

Stop off at Kaitlyn and Byrd's house, Atlanta, Georgia
On the ride back, we stopped in to see some friends in Atlanta. Really great conversation and drinks.
The End
