BBQ

Jay had a BBQ competition in Columbia at a Harley Shop.  CJ and I went with him. We had the best time. We went to Columbia Friday night and got dinner at one of the Drive in, Dinners, and Dive places. This was not the first time that we had tried a restaurant from the show. The ones that we have tried have been pretty bad, but this one was great. We got up in the morning and went to the Harley shop for the competition. CJ and I had fun looking at all the vendors and the motorcycle stunt show. It was hot and CJ kept wanting to go in the building to cool off.  By the time Jay was done judging we were ready to head home.

Garrett called and said that he was going to come up for a visit, just to have lunch and then go back home.  He was going to come one Sunday at noon so CJ had to miss her Choir rehearsal.  She does not like missing rehearsal but she was more excited about her brother coming. Jay and I were very nervous that he was come just to tell us news because he has not come to our house in almost 5 years.   We were surprise that there was no news and it was really just a visit, no reason other than to see his Dad and have lunch. CJ was so happy she even talked him into throwing around the basketball with her and Jay had him help put up a little fence to keep the rabbits out of the garden.  The rabbits have been eating our peppers and flowers.

The next weekend we went with Jay to the BBQ competition in Tryon.  This competition was for KCBS (Kansas City Barbeque association)  which is the national competition like the one you see on TV.  This was the first time that Jay had judged in this type of competition, most of his competitions are for SCBA (South Carolina Barbeque Association). It was another very hot day and Jay had to judge a lot of meat so we were there for a long time.  This event was very big and CJ had a blast on the Carnival rides. Everything there was very expensive, so by the time Jay got done CJ and I were very hungry, hot, and tired.  I was not going to spend $17 on a plate of food.  We left and went to subway CJ’s favorite for a late lunch.  We do not have another BBQ competition for a while, so it will have to be other summer fun.
