Beach Retreat!

We're at our annual beach retreat! Each year we spend a week in Surfside Beach, SC working on MET stuff. We hold workshops, read plays, talk about the future of MET, go on fun excursions, eat, play games and generally bond. This year we're coming off a couple of really super busy months with our four holiday shows, so we've spent a lot of time just relaxing and recharging.

I had intended to do a blog post each day, but I've been too busy doing nothing(!), so here's a brief recap of our week:

At the beach we play a lot of games!

We also formed our own Wii band: Crapdip. Here we have Carey Rausch, Tad Janes, Peter Wray and Ken Poisson.

We've taken lots of walks on the beach.

And here's the leaping photo of the year! Gené makes it across the beach stream.

We went to Brookgreen Gardens, which is a delightful sculpture garden.

In addition to the many amazing sculptures, Brookgreen has amazing grounds - ponds, pools, huge trees, etc and lots of animals.

We got our nails done! We had to drag Ken there, but his first mani/pedi experience has inspired him to make the nail salon a weekly visit.

We read aloud some plays that are being considered for next season.

Ken and Sarah Shulman wear inexplicable heardgear.

Lorrie Tripp and Sarah Straw put a puzzle together. We've done about 10 puzzles this week!
