Pressure Drop

Well, we went to the doctor yesterday and it is official; the Bean has dropped. It's just a matter of time now until he makes his entrance into the world. I could tell by looking at Margaret this morning that he had dropped. Man, I'm really getting impatient to meet the little guy.
Today I went out to watch them demolish the last bit of the Grace Memorial Bridge that goes over the Cooper River. The above pictures (taken by yours truly) show the piece as it is blown up. The pieces are then scooped out of the water and either recycled or sunk further out at sea to make an artificial reef. The bigger bridge in the background is the brand spanking new Arthur Ravenel Bridge, which was opened last summer. The Grace Bridge was built back in the 20's, while its neighbor, the Pearman Bridge (you can see what's left of that bridge in the last picture) was constructed in the 60's. It's weird to know that the Bean will grow up with no memory of those older bridges, except for what he sees in pictures. He never even got to ride over it as a fetus.
