Andy won an award at the 2007 South Carolina Press Association Awards in Columbia, S.C. on the 23rd.  His paper put us (and all the other P&C reporters and their families) up at the Embassy Suites where the ceremony was to take place.  Our sitter fell through so Bella and I hung out in our 4th floor suite while Andy went to the reception, dinner, and ceremony.  We all had a blast.  Bella LOVED the hotel ... the big room, kingsize bed, glass elevators ... and the fact that we could buy "Happy Feet" to watch in bed.  She keeps saying, "I love hotels!" 

Since we didn't go to the ceremony with him, we don't have any photos of it.  But we have a couple of photos and videos from the room on Friday night and a ton of images from our trip to the zoo on Saturday before heading home.  Enjoy!

And, as always, all images are clickable thumbnails.
