{island in the sun}





We had such a fabulous week on Isle of Palms. The weather was beautiful, it was fun to spend the week with Randall’s family, and the girls LOVED the beach!


We decided to return to Isle of Palms and stay in the same house as last summer, because it was familiar and easy and hey, why fix something if it isn’t broken. I wasn’t sure how the girls would react to the beach and ocean since they hadn’t been to a beach since Thanksgiving (in California) and hadn’t been swimming in the ocean for a full year. No need to worry because they jumped right in, literally. They were so excited I don’t think they stopped running all week!


From playing in the tide pools, to jumping in the waves. From building sand castles with Daddy and their cousins, to riding bikes on the beach. From bocce ball to collecting seashells (& 2 sand dollars). From ice cream cones to dancing at the pavilion. From a trip to the Angel Oak tree to dinners out. From swimming at the pool to spotting deer, alligators, turtles and dolphins. From a catered low country boil to Pop Pop’s homemade meatballs & spaghetti...the girls really enjoyed their time at the beach with Granny, Pop Pop, Ethan, Brittany, Aunt Danielle, Uncle Mike … and of course Mommy, Daddy and Sara. Randall and I even enjoyed a date night in Charleston. And I got to go running 6 out of the 7 days. Too many fun memories to capture them all. I decided the best way to preserve them was by creating video/photo montage.

Enjoy! We sure did!

  1. Great pictures, I love the black and white photos. My family and I go to Isle of Palms every summer for vacation, we just love it there. In fact, we are actually looking at Isle of Palms real estate. I can't wait until we find the perfect house. Thanks for sharing Ant.
