We drove down to Isle of Palms, SC yesterday, joining 60+ others for a beach vacation. We've rented out an entire condo building, which has been quite nice. Our family has a two-bedroom apartment, with a fully-equiped kitchen & spacious living room. Other families have one or two bedroom apartments or studio apartments - different sizes for different needs. We're a short walk to the beach, which has been great. Lots of waves, lots of space - it's off season so it feels like we have the entire place almost to ourselves. The kids are having a blast hanging out with their friends at the beach, at the pool & in each other's "pads", as Shaun has been calling them.
Last night, our first night, was Italian night - everyone contributed something to a huge buffet we set up in the parking area behind the buildings. Delicious food, great music & wonderful company. Today many of us ended up at the nearby Whole Foods stocking up on yummies. A big rain storm drove us off the beach late in the afternoon, but after it passed everyone circulated around to each other's rooms, sharing food & drinks with whoever visits.
I'm now quite tired & Shaun just came in to get water before heading out to play live action World of Warcraft with friends. Another long night for the teens & tweens while we older folk try to catch some zzz's...
Tomorrow's forecast: Beach!
