Brenda and I have lived the good life this past week in South Carolina. Our good friends,Joel and Catherine Fletcher, have a beach house near Pawley's Island. Joel's father and mother are originally from the south and bought homes along the ocean. Since they normally rent out the home we stayed in, we quickly accepted the opportunity to spent a week at the ocean in the "off season". Joining us and the Fletchers were Kent and Jennifer Whistler and Bruce and Sharon Billedeaux.
The house is in a beautiful location - every morning we enjoyed our coffee on the front porch looking over the ocean. The weather was perfect with many sunny days and temperatures in the low 80's. A great surprise was biking on the beach. When the tide went out, the beach would turn hard and was over 60 feet wide. We rented beach bikes and we could ride for miles. How cool.
We joined the Whistlers on a day trip to Charleston (1 1/2 hours away) and had two incredible seafood meals. We did a self walking tour of Charleston and enjoyed learning about early U.S. history. The old southern homes and cobblestone streets were great.
We cooked most of our meals at the beach house and the cooking team of Kent and Brenda was a hit.
What a great way for Brenda and I to transition to our lives as empty nesters!!
