Monday afternoon, 2:30 update -
Well we are back at our unit and it is raining, and you no what? it doesn't bother us one bit. I'm sitting out on our balcony, enjoying the nice breeze and rain and watching the birds and just relaxing with a nice cold beer. What could be better?
Now where did I leave off? DS and I did a walkabout around the resort. He just loves watching the wildlife. I showed him the neat sitting area at the south end of the resort and we just relaxed there a while before looking at the boats in the marina. We actually saw two boats leave the marina - that is very unusual.
The plan then was for DW and myself to go sit out on the beach, but for some reason we never could quite get motivated, we were enjoying the balcony so much. After a while DS said he was hungry
, so we did head over to the Beach House and had lunch at Signals. DW and I split the chicken fingers and DS had a cheeseburger. Both were very good and I thought a pretty good value, considering you are at a tourist location.
After lunch we looked round the Beach House and I did take some pictures. We then walked out on the beach a distance and saw several turtle nesting areas. About that time it looked like a storm was blowing in, so we headed back to the car. Not wanting to go back home yet, we paid the $5 to get into Sea Pines and went to Harbour Town. Of course DS was making jokes about the gated communities and keeping the riff-raff (us) out, etc.
. We walked around Harbour Town and I took the obligatory pictures of the lighthouse. And of course we couldn't leave without getting an ice cream cone from the Cinnamon Bear.
We had planned to walk around South Beach Marina, but by the time we got there it was raining pretty good. Then DS asked the question, could you have a gated community within a gated community? And sure enough we saw one at South Beach
.
Now we're back at the resort. If it stops raining DW and I will head back to beach. Seafood is on the menu tonight - either Scott's, Old Oystery Factory or Hudsons. Just not sure which yet.
I will be adding some more pictures to my photo journal shortly (link previously posted).
