Organization Avoidance


Riverdogs Baseball at "The Joe"

Not too surprisingly, the Riverdogs lost miserably!! Afterall, they are a Yankee's farm team. We did, however, see two homeruns--one from each team.


Irvin House Vinyard, Wadmalaw, SC

Who knew that Charleston had a vineyard!! Apparently, Irvin House is the only vineyard in the area and they specialize in Muscadine Grapes/Wine. We did a little wine-tasting and then took a "tour" of the storage/fermenting part of the vineyard, given by the owner of the vineyard himself. Normally a tour of the vineyard itself is included, but that part was skipped due to do the heat and humidity.



Mark, Erin, and Player Yet to be Named at the Angel Oak

We decided to stop by the Angel Oak on our way home from the vineyard. This tree is the oldest live oak in the Southeast and is about 1500 years old. Pictures certainly don't do it justice! You can read more about it here: http://www.angeloaktree.org/history.htm



Nana and Poppy at the Angel Oak

This helps give some perspective, but this isn't even the most impressive view!! There were lots of people picnicing and kids running around. It's a very beautiful place! There was also some random girl taking glamour shots on different branches . . . she gave us quite the snicker as we walked around the tree :)
