Why the Low Country?
July 8, 2008
As usual vacation is something we really enjoy planning and try to find those unique experiences that are not run of the mill. Usually most people know us by the adventures that James and I take. We might be swimming with sharks one weekend, or spending the night on the look out from cubans on a deserted island ( with the rats running up the palm trees).
We spend one vacation with Max and then a tiny one to ourselves. Usually we left the more adventurous one for when Max is away but decided this year to start to introduce him to our vacations.
We picked South Carolina for a couple of reasons. Its warm, there are beaches there, and I caught on to the kayaking bug there and still believe that its some of the best kayaking I have ever experienced. The wildlife is amazing and so I told James that’s where I wanted to go and left the planning up to him. He found us some magical places. Usually our vacations are so adventure packed and pricey that we decided to save a ton of money and camp. This narrowed it down for him as to our lodging requirements. I only wish I had taken a picture of the car as we backed out of the driveway. There was barely room for Max. I literally had to have him sit down and cram stuff around him. Also keep in mind that we were completely camping for ten days so we had to take a cooler, and we even had our kayaks strapped to the top of the car.
A day later ( we decided to stop in Virginia and get a good nights sleep), we were about 40 miles from Savannah Georgia, and an hour from Hilton Head, in a place that was the most magical Hunting Island.
