 MY FIELD TRIP....

to Historic Edgefield, SC

They have a GREAT Town Square...

I learned the history of pottery making...

He even collects his own clay...

Then we left his shop....

and on to the Blacksmith...

She had a lot of pretty art work there...

This place has been around since 1917...

(that's the year my Great Grandmother was born!)

Then we went to see the carpenter...

He showed us tools used in the 1800's

He knew the history of the town really well.

And his grandfather, dad, children, and

grandchildren all know this skill...

Mom says I can start with a bar of soap!

But you want to know what this

town is also known for.....

TURKEYS

TURKEYS...

AND MORE TURKEYS....

HUGE TURKEYS!

THEY'RE EVERYWHERE !!!

I would come here again!

There's ALOT more to learn about this town...

And I missed a few pictures of other turkeys.

And most important.... 

HAVE A GREAT TIME!

(Making movies with friends is the best!)

Guess how many bloopers were made in this one film?

I think these came out so cute....

I just had to share....

I did these on my ipad...

Renaissance Festival, Huntersville, NC

I love traveling around

to see new things...

Look at where 

I went now....

The Renaissance Festival

I'm studying the

Renaissance now in school too...

One of my favorites was the jousting...

Then they battled to the death with swords!

My knight won...

Hooray!!!

Leonardo da Vinci created 

a great flying machine...

I got to see the King and Queen up close...

Then I took a tour of the Dungeon...

This is where they tortured people...

Do you see the orbs by

The Head Crusher...?

They move....

There was alot here to see...

And the place looked so cute...

There were so many friends here too...

Do you see another orb?

(It's by the statue's hat.)

A movie trailer I created all on my own.

GHOST TOURS ARE AWESOME...

SAVANNAH, GA

My second time here at this city....

and I LOVED IT...

but note to self:  
DO NOT LIVE HERE

HAUNTED AREA

My paranormal education has

officially begun... here's what I saw.

First stop...

THE PIRATE HOUSE...

People say they've been in here.

And heard from Captain Flint say

"MORE RUM"

We rode past the

HENRY HOUSE...

And I thought I saw a mouth 

and an eye starring at me...

The Cemetery

Still today,

no cure for "yellow fever"

and I do not want to catch it.

And people were sometimes

buried alive.  Scratches were found

inside the coffins.  Because the last 

stage of yellow fever is a coma.

 So they started tying a 

string to a finger, attached to a bell.

If the grave digger heard the bell, 

he'd dig up the person.

We were in a warehouse

that always has ghost activity.

We were even allowed to 

try our own ghost hunt.

MY FIRST ONE

with an electronic device

that will light up when there's a

spirit nearby.

 I didn't find any this time....

The locals can give reports

of seeing or hearing things just about

anywhere in this city.

This tour had so many great

ghostly stories to share...

Everyone should come aboard

this trolley for a great experience.

I LOVE SAVANNAH

Art in Nature

Using what I had...

I created a 

Dragon's Lair

 Here's the Dragon's Castle

I call this...

 Sand Dribble Art

 

 This is a Dragon's Home

 Dragon's Watering Hole

and....
A Dragon's Arena

Now I'm off to hit some waves....

        -S.G.                           

Hilton Head, SC

Home of the 

Baynard Ruins

Here we are.... on our way!

And we've arrived!

Here's the bottom level of

Captain Jack's Mansion...

Or what's left of it!

Nobody's home....

Click below to read the history

of this place....

Baynard Ruins - History

Here's what I saw through the window...

There was ALOT of shells

 used to make these walls...

There were slaves quarters here 

and a bunch of cotton fields

for this plantation.

They have samples out for you to touch.

Another little site to look at.

Look at how tall everything is here...

Did you know there

are ghost stories about this place...
