Colin Campbell, What will you do next?

Adam’s best friend, Colin is a a really great bud! To Adam and me both! He went to high school with Adam and they became best friends. They both share a love for art and being creative. I think it’s great that they are still really close and we are able to hang out together as often as we do!

Since we have moved to Augusta last fall, Colin has come to visit the most out of anyone we know! Including our family members! Not to mention, he lives in Baltimore, Maryland! In the past he had made the trip down via auto in like 14 hrs or so, but now he has a summer job where he travels with some really awesome archaeologists from Oregon and does sketches of the historical dig sites. It is a really cool job, and includes him narrating on PBS! Anyways, he came to a site near Augusta (like 40 miles out) in a place called Barnwell, SC. It is seriously out in the sticks of South Carolina! So, he flew into their little airport and gave us a call. We drove out there and picked him up and went to eat at this really great seafood place there called Lakeside Grille.

The interior was painted like we were on the outside of a boat…surrounded by water.

They had peanuts as their appetizer and the food was yum. I love fish and hush puppies!

I figured I may never visit Barnwell again (unless you return, Colin) so I bought one of their t’s! On the back it says “Bone suckin’ good”, and if I had eaten something with bones in it, I would have to agree! But it was definitely good!

I highly suggest it to anyone traveling to Barnwell! Afterwards we went to CVS to pick up a couple of things (who knows where the closest Kroger or Wal-Mart may have been) and then went back to his hotel and hung out with his crew.

When we walked into CVS, this little kid was trying to work the photo printer…I guess he’s the photographer of his family!

All of these scientists were really nice and very interesting. It was really great to talk to them about their project and see Colin’s art (always amazing)!

The boys also decided to cool off that evening and go for a swim. As an observer, it was very entertaining!

We love our Colin and hope to one day travel the world with him and maybe settle down in a quiet rural area with him as our neighbor! Can’t wait to see him again!
