First Beach Trip of 2009...

...just for the day, to Isle of Palms.

You know, there are some very well kept secrets in SC. First is the peaches. I am sorry for all of you who have been led to believe that GA peaches are the standard. Probably, SC folks didn't want anyone getting their amazing peaches, so they let everyone think the best ones came from GA. But it's just not true.

Second is the real SC beaches. Myrtle Beach is just not the best SC beach, folks. It's nice enough (hit the north end, if you must), but the prettiest ones are south of Charleston - Seabrook Island, Hilton Head, Edisto, etc. We went to Isle of Palms today because it has a public access. It's nice - a little crowded for my taste, but it's close. If you can afford to rent a big house further down the island, it's much nicer. We were going for cheap today. Worth the drive and $7 to park.
The Babyhawk carrier worked great on the beach! Zzzzzzzz.....




Funny - looks like Micah is about to pounce on this kid!




I've never enjoyed taking a crawling baby to the beach. But this kid was amazing! Not a word of complaint unless I tried to set him in the water! He tolerated mouthfuls of sand, diaper full of sand and crawling on the sand! And did it with a smile!




Every child must try eating sand. I don't know why but that's just the way it is.


Love the ride home! There is not a better way to wear out kids than the beach!
