[Okay! Finally! The Guns! Part 1 is here. Part 2 is here. This is The End. All the pix are here. Just the gun pix are here. But really, would a little romance and scenery kill ya?]
If it's Sunday, it must be time to GO SHOOT MACHINE GUNS!! We had a fabulous breakfast at The Cliff House (these
folks actually know how to make decent biscuits and gravy, and the potatoes are heavenly) and then headed east to Dragon Man's shooting range.
All I can say about this event (which is shockingly poorly advertised) is, if you have ANY interest in firearms WHATSOEVER, you NEED to participate. OMG, we shot all kinds of guns. And it was all AWESOME. For sheer "WOW" the minigun was the winner. (And oh yeah, it was so worth those prices.)
For, "Gee, I'd like to have one of these!" it was the Thompson .45 sub-machine gun. "Okay, that's a bit much" honors goes to the 50 cal. rifle, only because the muzzle brake sent so much noise backwards that it made my ears ring despite gummies and muffs. The MO, however, really liked shooting it mounted and automatic....
(I have an avi file of the MO shooting something else (7.62 somethingorother), but til I figure out how to host it not on youtube, you'll just have to wait.)
Sunday evening we had a terrific dinner at The Cliff House, and I had my second creme brulee in as many desserts! This one was a trio--classic vanilla, chicory coffee, and chocolate cinamon. The coffee won, with a close-fought second
to the vanilla. I was really surprised that the chocolate didn't win me over. Maybe it was just too rich. By focusing on dessert, I shouldn't detract from the dinner, which was likewise delicious. The MO had a really impressive wild boar tenderloin, and I had striped bass with two sauces--one black bean and one sweet onion. I couldn't even decide which one I liked the best....
Monday morning we finally had to wave good-bye to the incredible scenery, but I'll admit I was really looking forward to some humidity and oxygen. It was really surprising how easily we tired! I know my cardiovascular system is not world-class, but for heaven's sake, I do work out regularly, and walking across a parking lot really shouldn't reduce me to gasping. I think the low country is definitely where I'm supposed to be. So our kitties were glad to see us, and we have lots of laundry to do, and we took a lot of pictures.... I've loaded about half of them up to flickr. Enjoy :-)
