Where In The World Is Sum1?

A Little Personal Time In Charlotte

         Well, it was my second weekend in Charlotte last week, and with a couple days of free time on my hands, I thought I'd visit the city where I was born.  Off I went to Charleston, SC.  My goal wasn't to see much of the city though, I wanted to visit Ft. Sumter.  I've been to Ft. McHenry (War of 1812, birth of Star Spangled Banner).  I've visited The USS Constitution in Boston Harbor as well as climbing the tower on Bunker Hill (American Revolution).  So seeing Ft. Sumter and learning a bit more about the start of the Civil War seemed only natural.  I spent the night in Myrtle Beach, and had a really good dinner at Hanser House.  If you're ever in that area, visit that place, you won't be disappointed.  I'm glad I chose to go on Saturday though, because it rained all day Sunday on my drive back to Charlotte.  The hands on lab (make up class for what they missed in Schaumburg) took about 2.5 hours, then it was on the road again to head home.  Instead of resting before the holidays, I drove all over the place!    or depending on your outlook on things.  Back home in Schaumburg now for 3 weeks, then off to Toronto for one last field class this year.

         Til next time, stay warm, and enjoy life!  Snowing here in Chicago area, lightly, but still, it's covering the ground.  Brrrrrrrrr.  After Charlotte, this is COLD!  Even if it's only 30 degrees out.
