Another Championship Season!!!


HOORAY! Our Lady Mocs won over Western Carolina, 71-59. They did look good! We had fun with the post-game stuff, and got to hug some of the players when they came up into the stands to thank the fans. They're great gals. They get an automatic bid to the NCAA, and we're hoping for a #11 or #12 seed. They still have the longest winning streak in collegiate women's basketball.

We didn't go to the men's championship game. Our men weren't playing, and Davidson is way tougher than anybody else. So we just skipped it. It's on TV. The Davidson fans are really fanatic. We left the arena about 7:20. Their game didn't start until 9, and the fans were lined up on the concourse waiting impatiently for us to vacate the fan-seating area. We like to be early, but that's carrying it a bit far.

This morning, we went out to enjoy the lovely day. We went to Charles Towne Landing - the site of the first European settlement in the area. It's an interesting park, and we took a walk and some pictures. We then drove to Folly Beach and walked on the beach a bit. Lunch was at a little local place, with some of the best she-crab soup we've ever had. We also shared an order of crab cakes.


After our Ladies won, we went for more seafood - and found another good place. This time, John had crab/shrimp casserole, and I had a small bucket of boiled shrimp. All very good.

We've loaded most of the stuff tonight, so we don't have to wait on a luggage cart in the morning, and we should be able to get out of here fairly early.
