Row, Row, Row Your Boat

Check out this scene from The Notebook where Noah rows Allie out to a most beautiful landscape.


Rachel and I rowed a boat there, too.  Maybe I even used the same paddle as the hunk-tastic Ryan Gosling.  A girl can hope, right?  Betch'a can guess what the Poops and I will be watching while Brad's gone.....................


There were no swans when we went to Cypress Gardens in Monck's Corner, SC, but there were plenty of alligators.  The surprisingly-adorable beasts were hibernating when the crew transported the swans to SC in order to film The Notebook scene.  Bloody swans scream bad romance.  Waiting till winter was a good call on part of the crew. 

The pictures I'm going to attach to this blog don't do the place justice.  I know it's a cliche, but it's true.  The setting was breathtaking.  Tall cypress trees reflected off the black water.  And in the black, you could also see the beautiful blue sky littered with massive puffy, white clouds.

A storm was preparing to roll in when we started our self-guided tour, and sweat dripped off our backs because of the hot and muggy temperatures. We didn't care, though, we were mesmerized. 

Soon after we docked the boat, it started to pour.  Luckily, we were no longer on the water; however, rowing in the rain would have been an equally wonderful sight.
