The Saltus River Grill

 With a recommendation from Natalie, we went to the saltus river grill in Beaufort South Carolina.  It had the best homemade sorbet that I had ever tasted!

The Kazoo Museum

 Today we went to the kazoo museum where we saw a presentation about the history of the kazoo as well as one of the first manufactured kazoos in the 1800s. The idea of the kazoo actually came from Africa originally. We saw a whole bunch of kazoo characters including Forrest and Jenny. We saw an American Flag made completely of kazoos. And we saw the factory workers which included 2 people who were inserting the important parts into the kazoos they manufacture. We also saw the place where they receive orders for kazoos all over the world and the map of all the places in the world where their kazoos have been shipped.

Edisto Friend Trip 2025 : Run, Forrest, RUN!

This year we found ourselves In Beaufort South Carolina, which happens to be the place where Forrest Gump was filmed! First we went to the place where the run-forrest-run scene was shot. It was the entrance to the Plantation where they lived in Greenbow Alabama and where the teen boys bullied Forrest.
 There was also a beautiful  Live oak at the entrance to the Plantation.
 Then we found the place where many of the Vietnam scenes were shot.

 Finally we visited the true Bubba Gump shrimp Company.
 And we saw the boat with the most beautiful name, the Jenny.
 Finally, we went to the bridge where they interviewed Forrest Gump while he was running.
