Today we explored around the area with my parents. Susan and the kids joined then after lunch and I met up with everyone after work. They toured around Beaufort and then we met in Port Royal for a short nature walk and dinner out.
Yesterday Mar-Mar and Be-Bob made the drive from Cincinnati to Yemassee, for a visit. They are staying at a hotel just a few blocks from our campground. They came over today to hang out.
We headed back to Hilton Head this morning to visit with the Herrels one more time before their family/holiday time took over. We walked to a nearby park where we played at the playground, at lunch next to a gazebo, and then played a couple of mini tennis tournaments.
After finishing our drive from Jacksonville this morning, we set up quickly and headed to Hilton Head to visit the Herrels, who are there for the week. Lucia and Leah were thrilled to see each other again. The Herrels are staying in a big house with some extended family, so it was nice to see Simon’s family and get to meet some new folks.
Today the family headed to the beach and then everyone came over for dinner.
Today we made the 3 hour drive from Miami to Punta Gorda. Holly, Alex, Henry, and Sawyer arrived yesterday in Punta Gorda. We will are staying our RV, about 15 minutes from Alex’s mom’s house, where they are staying.
The drive today was awesome. We drove right through the Everglades. There was a canal along the side of the rode and we must have seen about 100 alligators sunning on the side of the canal. It was cool to see them up close on our airboat ride a couple of days ago, but it was equally as cool to see so many sitting fully out of the water.
It was the warmest day of the week today, so we spent the day at the beach and the pool.
Yesterday we headed to St. Augustine for the afternoon. We all enjoyed the old, historic city.
