Today began for the boys at 6:30, and for the girls, at 9:30. The boys got up to go on their guided fishing trip, and Mom and I got up to go tour Beaufort. These are two separate mornings, so here's the boys first.
They awoke early and, despite the bleak forecast, set off. They toured around with their guide, Tucker, and then Dad, who hadn't felt too hot last night, threw up off the side of the boat. On the plus side, Wyatt caught a flounder, the only fish of the trip. Dad is still feeling ill.
The girls got up and, after a leisurely morning, checked out of the hotel at 10:30 to begin our tour. Unfortunately, nothing was open until noon. So we bummed around town, took a walk through the historic neighborhood, and finally were able to shop.
Around three, we met up with the boys, and drove through yet another torrential rain-storm, this so bad the we pulled over. Going ten feet from the car to the gas-station door to use the bathroom totally soaked me. Also, as we were driving along the road, lightning struck a cell tower about 50ft from where we were. Mother and I literally saw it make contact with the tower. It was incredible.
Dad is laying in bed and is improving. Prayers would be much appreciated. The rest of us are enjoying a lovely, quiet evening. Today was not our best, but not our worst, and we're not discouraged in the least. Tomorrow, we head to Asheville.

Oh thanks. That's super helpful.
