Even more shots of Beaufort

The last three of Beaufort:


I like pictures with bridges for some reason, and this bridge was purty. After taking this shot, we watched as a sailboat went under, and the center span pivoted. They dont make cool bridges like this anymore.

Frances shows how she earned her way through college. There were several of these mermaid statues around Beaufort, and each one painted differently.

Views of Beaufort

Walking around Beaufort, it was noticiable that it wasnt much in the way of a fort, but it was quite Beau.


There were many Many Many old homes in the Beaufort historic district. Too many even to photograph. There is some serious money there.

The marina downtown has several nice boats.

On Emerald Island, Julia took me to see some egret rookeries, and above you see a cormorant, or something similar. Below are the almost ready egrets.

Now you know how they developed their appreciation for Curly, Larry, and Moe.

Three stair steps. You can see there are just two bricks between them.

Time for another rinse in the patio pool!

How could you not love them?

Worth the tuition?

I hope my girls got more for the tuition paid!
