Edisto Beach - Middle Days!

TUESDAY again was overcast and breezy - so we visited the Botany Bay Plantation - a drive-through trail with several spots to get out and view landmarks. A former cotton plantation, it is now a state park.
The Live Oaks are huge - and quite majestic. Spanish Moss hangs everywhere.
This is an old ice house. The inside was lined with what looked to be oyster shells.
The old carriage house...
Emily and Eric pose for their fourth anniversary picture - coming up on May 28th!
WEDNESDAY Caleb was up at his usual 5:30 time slot for vacation..... here he's playing on the porch at 7 AM!
NO RAIN - so we headed to the beach! Just enough wind to keep the kite flying without fear of it snapping. Dad's keeping him reeled in properly!

Here's a short clip of kite flying and kayak pushing...

Even Caleb got to float in the boat!
Can you tell who in this picture doesn't think it's quite warm enough to sun on the beach???
Mom and Dad bid farewell after lunch, so Caleb has lost his "watching Nemo" partner.
One of plusses of having stormy days is the sunset at night! The Sound side of Edisto faces West, so we sure saw some beautiful evenings!

Leaving is sad, but we know when we have to do so, we youngsters have to do what we know we do, get home and rest. So much to do there, we enjoyed it all, now you have time to do all the things that we cannot do. Ha. Thanks for including us in your vacations.
Caleb is a blessing.
