Overnighter

Jenny:

I'm pretty excited for this shoot!! I packed my bag last night so I could just get out of the apartment smoothly this morning. We are off to Berkeley County and Charleston tomorrow. We started the day off very peacefully with a Monastery interview and we got to tour the place. We followed that up with an interview from a historian about the significance of the Cooper River and how it's contributed to the area. The final shoot was the one I was really looking forward to- Gator Hunting!! As my anticipation for this shoot built, so did the storm clouds. We were about 10 minutes away from the destination when the monsoon hit. We had to pull off the road because it was so bad. When we got to the site, we ran inside trying to dodge the rain, but that didn't exactly go as planned either. After being drenched in rain, we tried to wait it out a bit while talking to the locals. At one point in time, one of the boats just outside the window on the harbor got loose and was taken away to the sandbar across the lake because of the storm! It was a crazy sight to witness and it's safe to say the shoot had to be "Rain Checked". 

So we decided to head to the place we were staying at for the night. This was not the average overnight stay destination- this place was a vacationer's dream get away. Meagan and I were in Heaven when we got inside. Every room had characteristics of my dream house on Pinterest. After settling in and getting a tour, we went to a a local Taco Restaurant- Taco Mamacita. Let me start off by saying, I am not an adventurous eater-  tend to stick to chicken fingers most of the time and next to nothing toppings. But at this place, I was feeling a little risky I suppose. I had a Caribbean Jerk and Shrimp Po' Boy taco with sweet potato fries and OMG... soooooo good!! I basically inhaled the food. After our hunger satisfaction, it was back to paradise. When we got back to the house, Meagan and I explored around a bit and took pictures on the porches and walked the beach a little. But, it was time to get back to work, so we got back to the house and continued work on the Internship Video. Then it was off to bed.
