Apalachicola is the featured US location in the new 2012 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue released on Tuesday, February 14th. The tiny coastal town of 3,000 people has kept a big secret since early October, when a a team of sixteen people from New York arrived to capture three lovely models and the essence of this quaint Gulf Coast town.
Cover model Kate Upton, Julie Henderson and Ariel Meredith each spent three days working with New York photograper Stewart Shining and his crew who took thousands of photographs throughout Apalachicola and on beaches of St George Island. The other locations in this year's shoot were Sydney and Cairns, Australia, Royal Livingston, Zambia, Desroches Island, Seychelles, and Playa Tortuga, Panama. In addition to the magazine readers can go to the website and see many more photographs and four videos.

We were excited to see our home at 161 Ave C in the backgroung of one of the photos! Actually I think they were more interested in the impressive live oak in the background. We have been there in Apalach all last week listening to all of the chatter but had to return to Tennessee yesterday. We only wish we could have stayed for the release party tonight and congratulated you all!!
