Greetings from South Carolina

Yesterday, late afternoon we arrived in South Carolina. It is sunny and nice, not to hot, not to cold. Missy, John and I took the kids to a nice restaurant for dinner since we were sick of eating in the chain food stores. Mikey and I had a steak with baked potatoes that tasted delicious. Q was very cute when he ordered Sir Lion not to be mixed up with (sirlion.) LOL. After dinner we walked back to the hotel passing some very historic streets in South Carolina and a really old cemetary. We saw the Captial building and the Supreme Court. As we walked we read the plaques that dedicated different streets to former Generals that fought in the American Revolution. You felt a real sense of history as you walked. When we went back to the hotel the cast surprised Rhiannon (Nancy) with an engagement party in Zac's (Fagin) room. They were very creative with rose petals all over the room and beds as well as nice pink balloons. The boys had a lot of fun throwing the rose petals when Rhiannon entered the room. Chaz did a good job keeping her busy until it was time and we thought Alaggio would have a heart attack guarding the door until she came. He looked like a father pacing the hospital floor waiting for his child to be born. (LOL) Quentin was showing everybody his dance moves and although Erin tried I think Q wins the dance challenge. Rhiannon told us all about Brendan and their first date and courtship. After, that "We all fell in love with Brendan. We all wish Rhiannon and Brendan a "Happily Ever After." They are two really nice people and deserve loads of happiness. After about an hour we had to drag the kids out of the party to do their homework. The sounds in the hall told me the cast somehow manage to continue the party without us.

We will be here in SC until Friday morning where we then start our trek to Tallahassee, Fl. We have shows here tonight and tomorrow night. We are free during the day, except the kids do three hours of school. We are getting closer to coming home and we can't wait. Next Tuesday, back in Rockaway!
