beach trip...the rest of the story!

As I said, this was a new rental for us. We have been renting

 the same house on the island for 13 years. 

This one was much bigger...very spacious and comfortable.

It has a big kitchen and the  large bar was

perfect for serving all of us!

There were two tables for eating...

 ...and playing games.

 We actually had two canopies, but on Sun,

 only 5 of us were there. So one was enough.

Great to be able to retreat from the sun!

Look how blue the sky is!

We played on the beach and in the water...

There was lots of "togetherness"! :-)

   The kids had to play golf...

 ...and the parents joined in!

 The shrimp were scarce this year, 

but they did catch some crabs...

 ...that had to be cleaned...

 ...and boiled.

Fresh crab and our low country boil...

made for a fine dinner our last night!

We chose to take our picture in the historic district

 this year. Love the green and the Spanish moss!

We added three to the family

 this year...our two new grands

and our sweet new daughter-in-law!

 Everybody pulling out... headed for home.

 One last wave!

Already looking forward to next year!
