Jessica and I drove down to Southern Pines, North Carolina for her best friend's husband's fortieth birthday party. We got to explore a little of downtown Pinehurst and Southern Pines (the U.S. Amateur was being held in Pinehurst that weekend, so we couldn't get to the most famous of all North Carolina's courses). I got to play a lovely round of golf, Jessica got recruited to help set up the surprise party and we both visited the Creation/Antique Tools/Taxidermy Museum. The few pictures are the consequence of my poor camera; it broke mid-trip; most of the party pictures came out to fuzzy to fix........
