DAY #2 ON ISLE OF PALMS

Up to day #2 on Isle of Palms and it is a beautiful day but feels like it is definitely going to be a hot one. Our cabin faces east so the morning sun hits our deck and we tried to sit outside and have our coffee and tea this morning but it was too hot.
After breakfast we headed out to the beach with all the family. The kids had a great fun time in the ocean and on the beach building sand castles and just enjoying each other.











We stayed on the beach until about 2:00 depleting the snacks we brought with us. Hubbie and I came inside for a BLT sandwich for a late lunch.
After we ate we went back out and walked out on the private pier that is owned by the Sea Cabins.


It is a pretty short pier but really nice and all these Sea Gulls thought it was the perfect resting spot and even this lone Pigeon wasn't about to be moved off his resting space. We were the only ones on the pier besides the birds.




We took a short walk on the crowded beach and came back to the cabin. I love the shorter drive down here and the convenience of having everything we need in walking distance but this is what takes some getting used to for me, this sea of umbrellas that cover the beach in both directions is something we haven't seen in years until we started coming here last year.

We got ready to go out to eat dinner with everyone and were able to walk over to the Acme restaurant that opens at 5:00 and get in pretty much immediately which was a surprise for us. This is a very good and popular place to eat here and is always a wait to get in but we lucked up today.


Everyone was very happy with their food and it was very good as usual. I had the "Whistle Stop" which was sautéed shrimp over fried green tomatoes and pimento cheese grits, yummy !!!
We walked back to the county park that is beside the Sea Cabins and let the kids play for awhile.
These two just started holding hands as they walked without any encouragement !!





Re and d-in-love went shopping and the rest of us came back to the pool to let the kids swim until bedtime.






We got to facetime IR and CA tonight and they also had a fun day on Carolina Beach.



Thankful for the blessings of this day .
God Bless and Good Night
