Bonaventure

 

Kiki and Papaw Duke came in town last Friday and stayed through Monday morning.  It has rained here every single day in the month of August but thankfully we had a very nice sunny weekend while they were here.  We took full advantage of the sunshine and spent most of the weekend outside.  Sunday morning we went to Bonaventure cemetery.  It is a very old very beautiful cemetery on the Wilmington River in Thunderbolt.  The statue from the front of the book 'Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil' used to be in Bonaventure but has been relocated to the Savannah History Museum because of it's popularity. 

 

 

 

 

Bryce loved reading the headstones.  He loves dates so this was perfect for him.  He would get especially excited to find a soldier's headstone.  

 

 

CeCe just enjoyed being outside in the beautiful weather with her Papaw Duke!

 

 

There were a few questions we had while we were there (what does this latin phrase mean, where is the hurricane headed, etc.) and Anthony pulled out his blackberry to google it and Papaw Duke always gets amazed at how quickly the phone can give an answer! 

 

Sunday when CeCe and I were driving to North Carolina for Emily's funeral, Bryce, Anthony and Papaw Duke went to another Sand Gnats game!  Then they drove by the house to pick up Kiki and they went to Fort Pulaski.  I know Bryce was beside himself to get to do baseball and a fort in the same afternoon!  They finished the evening with dinner at Fannies on the beach.  Yummy!
