Beach Day!

Wednesday of our vacation was spent at the beach. We went to Hunting Island State Park. I really love that beach. It's not all touristy and crowded. It's beautiful and peaceful. We had a really good time. I had not planned to get into the water, but I had forgotten how hot it gets! So, I ended up getting in. Got knocked over by a few waves, got a few mouths full of salt water and had fun!

I just love the natural beauty!

Uuummm yeah, so I am scared of birds. One of my greatest fears to be pecked to death by a pack of evil birds. So, I have no idea whatever possessed me to throw a piece of popcorn for the lone seagull that was in front of me. It was alone for about 2 seconds! I believe this is where the term "flock of seagulls' came from. I started throwing popcorn by the handfulls just to get them away from me!

Bryson and Jordan-Thanks Jordan!

After we left the beach, we all went home and cleaned up. I love the beach, but I am just not a fan of sand! And then, we all ended up taking a nap. That heat just zapped us. Our friend Chris came up for dinner later and we made the Frogmore Stew that we had bought the shrimp for the day before. Man, I love that stuff! Sure, we can made it in Indiana, but with frozen shrimp. Doesn't even compare to the fresh stuff! We stuffed ourselves to the point of being borderline sick, drank wine and caught up. Bry ended up hearing a few stories that should have been kept in the mom vault. Oops! It was a really fun night!

  1. Hi Heather!
    Thanks for visiting! Sounds like you had a fun trip to Beaufort and Savannah, as well! I just love those places, but I could kick myself for going to the front door of 432 Abercorn St. What was I thinking? I am now a follower! :)
