2008 – A Photo Review

Some favorites from 2008 – a bit late, but fun nonetheless.  Here’s to a wonderful 2009!

(Updated – I don’t recommend rock you slideshows – this one wasn’t working properly, so it has been deleted and replaced with a picasa slideshow in another post!)

It seems so long ago already!  Can it be that we returned less than a week ago?

Nick, Pinot and I drove down to meet up with some Pender peeps for the Gator Bowl on 1/1 in Jacksonville, FL this year.  We left on Tues 12/30 after work, making it all the way down to Hilton Head Island, South Carolina, where we loved being out of the car, and romping around the beach with Pinot on the morning of 12/31!  We proceeded to have lunch in Savannah, Georgia – for some reason – maybe Gone with the Wind, I really wanted to check it out since it was essentially on the way – we walked around River Street with the Pinot and had 5 Guys outdoors for lunch.  YUMMY burger and YAY to eating outside on 12/31 in a tshirt and jeans!  We jumped in the car and finished the drive down to Jackonville.    Alisha, Erik, Sarah & Racheal beat us to the hotel by about 15 minutes, so good timing on our part.  Pinot and Jackson (the Wist puppy!) got along great, and before we knew it, we were decked out and off to the Jacksonville Landing for new years festivities.  Probably too good of a time was had by all, but we were all up bright and early on 1/1 getting ready to tailgate!  It was highly amusing packing the 6 of us in the Wist Clemson-mobile, with 5 of us fully decked out in Husker gear.  Unfortunately for Erik, our majority won out (Go Huskers!) and most of us ended the weekend on a high note.  (good thing, I dont’ know how fun the ride back to MD would have been on 1/2 if we had lost!)

We also got quite a kick out of South Carolina in general.  Fireworks, anyone?
