Folly Beach Part II

Wednesday morning everybody but Ben and Josh went out to see the end of the island to watch the sunrise at Morris Lighthouse. It's so beautiful out there!

Then Tony and Ben headed to Savannah for the day and everyone else but me went to Top Golf. So I had some nice solo time!

After we hit the beach of course.

Then Josh and I went out for another date night. Oh the luxury of vacation! This time we went to R Kitchen in the Ashley area of Charleston. The concept of this play was so cool. The chefs get ingredients and decide on a tasting menu that changes every day then cook everything in front of you. 

Meanwhile, Tony and Ben were back from Savannah and met Gamma and the kids for dinner at Chico Feo on Folly.

Thursday was another chill day. Beach and relaxing. Oh and pickleball!

Sunrise crew this morning.

For sunset we went to the west end beach.

Friday was our last day-lots more beach time and then we did an escape room while it was storming. 

This was the warmest day (it was cooler than normal, but still nice) and the kids got Gamma into the ocean. 

This escape room was hard! We beat it in the last couple of minutes. 

Came out of the escape room into a storm that turned into a beautiful sunset and rainbow. 

Awesome way to end our trip! We stayed at Charleston Oceanfront Villas and had a great experience. By far the nicest place we've been on Folly. Can't wait to go back!

Folly Beach 2024 Part I

For fall break this year we headed back to our favorite place! We were all so excited to get back to Folly and we had such a fantastic trip.

Stopped on the way out, Ike was my bunkmate for the night.

We beat the rest of the crew so we walked around a little, got some ice cream and watched the sun come back out after the rain. 

Sunday morning we went for a walk on the beach of course before going into Charleston for some sight-seeing and Pokemon Go.

We all were hungry after all the walking around so we stopped for a bite to eat at Port of Call. It is one of those modern food court deals with a couple restaurants to choose from. 

Monday was a lounge day-and golf for everyone but Ben and I!

Our balcony was ridiculous-check out this view.

We found a bunch of shark teeth on this trip, it was fun to look around for them.

While everyone else played golf Ben and I did a little shopping, then met them for pizza. 

Another beautiful day on Tuesday-I can't get enough of sunrise pictures. 

Tuesday night the grownups (minus gamma) went out for a fancy dinner at FIG.

This tomato dish is the best thing I've ever eaten. 

Kids and Gamma went out to Angelo's on Folly and had a great dinner too!

 

Ike Turns 11

I always feel like a broken record on birthday posts, but man I can't believe Ike is 11 already! He is such a fun kid and I know I won't be able to describe him as a kid much longer which breaks my heart. But I am so excited to see how he grows in this next year.

Here's his birthday dinner/"cake". Ha he didn't really want a dessert so we stuck his candle in his bread, worked just fine!

 

As far as what Ike is about lately-he is obviously still super into soccer. He loves to play outside and play video games. He is less excited about reading lately (which I don't love) but he is still very excited about school, especially science and math. He wants to be a chemist one day and has his heart set on MIT for right now!  He is still absolutely hilarious and such a kind person. 

Ike and I on a birthday stroll. 

Dave and Ike were awarded the junior golf scholarship at Etna Acres so they can play for free for the whole year!

Styling in the birthday glasses :)
