Georgetown, the oldest city in South Carolina, was a favorite stop last year and did not disappoint this year. This is where our favorite bakery, Indigo, is located. The bakery is owned by a charming couple from California who met online and later married and fulfilled her lifelong dream of owning her own bakery. Their pastries are amazing! They also hope to do the Loop one day!
One thing that we were not able to do last year was visit the Kaminski House which was built in 1769 by Paul Trapier and later purchased by the Kaminski family in 1931. Harold Kaminski was the son of Heiman Kaminski, one of Georgetown’s most affluent merchants in the late 1800’s. Harold also served as mayor of Georgetown. His wife, Julia, willed the home and its furnishings to the city upon her death in honor of her husband.
We met three Looper couples at the marina which is a rarity these days as most Loopers are much further north by now. Ronda and Bob are on Hawkins Landing and Lynnae and Jerry are on Troublesome Phoenix. We would go on to see them a few more times up until Baltimore. We also briefly met Mary and John on Walrus.
