This past weekend, we headed to Charleston to attend the Southeastern Wildlife Exposition. Meme and Pa joined us so we rented a historic carriage house for the weekend. We loved staying in a home so rich in character, not-to-mention walking distance from the city market, festival events, and fantastic restaurants.
Since rain was forecast for Sunday, we hit all the outdoor events on Saturday. Watching the dock dog practice rounds was a real highlight, but I wished I had Maggey with me. I think she could have taken these other dogs!
Avery had a front row seat and enjoyed getting splashed by the diving dogs!
Guess "who" got a chance to get up close and personal with this African owl? Ha ha. It wasn't me, it was Greg, but I couldn't resist the pun.
Unfortuneately, Avery woke up on Sunday with a stomach virus so that cut our time at the festival a little short. She spent most of Sunday resting so we were especially glad we had the rental house to enjoy...and the use of a washer and dryer! Despite her illness, we still had a great weekend with great company in one of my favorite cities. I guess we'll just have to go back again next year!
