Dylin's Indoor Soccer game

This is a bit different from the four on four that Dylin played during the school year. She's catching on despite being one of the younger players on the team.
Some tired girls
but still happy


Watch for Dylin's neon green shoes

Day Four

Breakfast Run to Whitehall Mansion

We were treated to a 'proper' Southern breakfast

An unusual flower...

Blue Hydrangeas were abundant in the garden

Sir David Plastow, Chairman of Rolls-Royce Motor Cars from 1972 to 1980, being interviewed by Kemp Stickney for the Wilmington Trust Legacy Interview Series. He was quite the interesting old chap. Of course, listening to his accent made it overly delightful.

Day Three

Another glorious sunrise

See the 5 stars on the red plaque...

...and on the back bumper? Any idea about the significance?

Here's the story

Some of the cars at the early morning (7am) Breakfast Run Pastries in the Park (Cherokee Park)

Over by the airport the Austin Healey group was having their conclave

We went over for a look-see

Purple Coneflower

The calliope had quite a repertoire of songs. I could listen to this all day.
