South Carolina

OK, I'm having a hard time sitting down in front of the computer to write out these blogs. After all, it's hard to concentrate after I just got done watching the Rangers-Panthers game on TV tonight after spending the day paddling around the Florida Gulf Coast with bottlenose dolphins and various other Florida water creatures (tough living, huh?). Therefore, I'm going to try simply posting up some of the photos with maybe some brief comments.

Just by way of a quick update, we've been in the Fort Myers area for the last couple weeks, and will be for about another two weeks before drifting towards Texas for a while. We plan to revisit New Mexico a bit before making our way back east to the PA area by the beginning of May.



These photos show our campsite at South Carolina's Hunting Island State Park. At high tide, we were about 100 yards from the water, so this was a really nice spot to spend a couple days.

While we were in the Beaufort, SC area, we were able to visit with my Aunt and Uncle, who really outdid themselves, hosting us for a great low-country boil (Thanks again, Aunt Maureen and Uncle Bob!). Between the time we spent at Hunting Island and the prior few days in Myrtle Beach, SC, South Carolina was a great place to defrost after the holiday season in PA and NJ.




Both Meika and Eugene have been getting a lot of enjoyment from Aunt Cathy's Christmas presents, so I have to say thanks again to her. Laura actually had to sew up Meika's monkey pretty extensively, but to date, one of it's six "squeakers" is still sounding off occasionally. I also have to thank Cathy for all the excellent meals she gave us for Christmas- we've finally finished them. (Because we have limited space in the RV, she wanted to give us something that would fit well with our travel plans. As a result, we left PA with our fridge and freezer full of pre-prepared meals, which made life easier for us!)



I'll leave you with one last view from Hunting Island. The next post will cover the ten days or so we spent in St. Augustine, Florida.
