| We visited the geology museum. This guy had something to do with it but I forget exactly what. |
 |
 |
Some sort of fossilized sea creature of some sort. |
| This is a bald eagle made out of rocks and/or minerals. |
 |
 |
Here's Jack peeking into one of the display cases. Not sure what he's looking at. |
| Beckie studies a display specimen while Jack poses. |
 |
 |
Tripp looking grim and serious. |
| More of those fossilized whatnots. |
 |
 |
We figure that this must have been some sort of primitive rock drill. |
| Jack bought something from the gift shop. This lady sold it to him. |
 |
 |
Up the hill form the geology museum was this house. It was built by a famous architect specifically to be featured in Southern Living magazine. It is now a sort of visitor center/nature center. |
| This girl greeted us at the house and made her little speech. |
 |
 |
Folk art pottery. |
| This animatronic raccoon sat on the mantle in one of the rooms. He freaked us all out for a second. He was remarkably lifelike and he told stories and the boys were quite taken with him. |
 |
 |
Dead butterflies. |
| After a while, Jack got bored. |
 |
 |
Dead bees in a petri dish next to a microscope. We didn't study these specimens. |
| After the Southern Living house, we swung by the Botanical Graden. This is a bell of some sort that has something to do with Clemson having been a military college. |
 |
 |
I can't remember what this caboose had to do with anything but it is in the garden. |
| This dad and his little girl were wandering around. |
 |
 |
Jack poses with the sidewalk dedication. |
| When we got back to the hotel, these food service guys were setting up for a reunion dinner. |
 |
 |
We left for Florence Sunday morning. Beckie was tired from all the fun |
