Isle of Palms



Our quick little getaway (sans enfants) took us just south of Charleston to the exotic Isle of Palms. Our hotel was right on the beach (just a boardwalk away) and we thoroughly enjoyed two long walks on the beach with lots of nature viewing. In the last grouping, note how the pelican glides over the ocean looking for dinner, and then having found it, crashes into the water to make his catch. In addition to lots of sand dollars, starfish and sea shells, we also encountered 7 stranded jellyfish this morning. (The tide went out and left them half buried in mud.) After we left our enchanting resort, we headed into downtown Charleston for a couple of hours where we enjoyed a seafood lunch at an outdoor cafe.
