Jake and I finally got down to the Columbia Temple in South Carolina. We decided to make a day trip out of it and we went to Historic Brattonsville, a Revolutionary War town and battlefield. Anyone heard of Huck's Defeat, well it was there and supposedly it "led" to a "pivotal" turning point of the war. It was pretty cool. Or, if you've seen the Patriot, a lot of that movie was filmed there and you may recognize some of the buildings in the photos.
So there we are 30-40 miles from home, 20 miles off any major highway in the middle of the country and we feel like we're the only ones there at this place. We look at a house or two and then I need to use the restroom. We go back to the visitors center and lo and behold we find some of our really good friends of ours from our ward here in Charlotte...out of all the random saturdays, and the times we could have been there...a little too ironic, don't you think?

Good luck with teaching dance. Let us know how it goes.
Wow, that does sound like a fun day. Good luck with the dance classes, maybe you will give me motivation to try doing something else from home too!
What an adventurous day-date! I would love to go see all those old houses. The civil war stuff would be super interesting. By-the-way you guys look great!
How pretty! You guys look like you are having a blast over there!

You have hilarious captions Mel. I was laughing at the last one: "A cool old house and a super cool guy."
What a fun little trip!
