We took our summer beach vacation over a month ago and I still haven't posted photos. This year vacation was early for us. Usually we seem to vacation towards the end of summer, but not this year. This year ,we went in early June in order to accommodate my brother's vacation schedule. That way he and his girlfriend, Jessica (who we love), and my sister, could meet the six of us, plus my parents at the beach.
What beach?
Pawley's Island, South Carolina. One of my favorite places on earth. It is beautiful and peaceful and quiet and there are screen porches with hammocks to read and nap in. The perfect place to enjoy a little relaxation away from our otherwise hectic lives. Pawley's is basically a small island, only about 4 miles long, that is separated from the mainland by a saltwater creek. It is about an hour and a half north of Charleston. My mom started going there years ago with her friends for a "girls" vacation. She finally convinced my dad we needed to make it the family vacation spot. And the rest is history. We've been going since before John David was born. Unfortunately we don't make it every summer. More unfortunate...We aren't independently wealthy nor does husband have a job there so we can be year round beach bums. But here are a few shots of this glorious island.
