Their favorite place to kick back

Men figure out the camera

Ginny Caramma of Absecon traveled to Myrtle Beach, S.C. to visit her friend, Pattie Hinderer, formerly of Absecon. This picture of the two was taken on the waterfront during a day trip to Charleston, and in the background is Fort Sumter. They said their husbands went along, but are not shown, as it took both men to take the photo!
