still moving south

The rest of our time in Myrtle Beach was rainy and cold.   We ate well, went to the movies (first time in a very long time) and otherwise stayed inside. 

We thought the rain was over today as we started our drive south.  The weather guessers said it was over.     It wasn't.   Rain, wind and cold rode with us almost the entire drive from Myrtle Beach to Hilton Head Island.    Dave wore gloves, I covered myself with a blanket as we drove along.   Did we do something wrong, did we anger someone, are we living an inauthentic life?      Sigh.

Perhaps we've turned the corner now....finger's crossed.      Or, more accurately, crossed the bridge.


The skies cleared as we crossed over onto Hilton Head Island.    We're here for a couple weeks so I hope we'll get a few sunny days to enjoy our beautiful site and the miles of nearby beaches.    I'm not fool enough to think we'll be able sit on the beach in our swim suits, but a few nice long walks would be lovely.


Tonight is Monday night..... On Monday nights, Charlie's Etoile Verte's entire wine list is half price. The whole wine list. 


That fact, coupled with their knockout menu of the freshest seafood, made Dave and I very happy tonight.    burp

  2. I'm so sorry that you had rain for traveling once again. Enough already. You deserve some sunshine and warmer temps. Your site is wonderful. I hope you get lots of sunshine to warm you through the trees. I am looking forward to beach photos and bare feet! After that drive, you needed a treat...half price wines and yummy food sound perfect! Wishing you lots of rays of sunshine and warm temps!

  3. It's not as much fun in the rain, but none of us control the weather. Hope the sun comes out again soon. Enjoy another glass of wine while you wait for it.

  4. Ugh... rain...and cold... Blech. Hope it turns around quickly for you. It's amazing what a difference some bright sunshine makes - especially with the days being so short. You certainly snagged a nice site there. I've heard nothing but great things about that park. Hope you can enjoy your next glass of fabulous wine right out on the patio!

  5. Oh, it's so NOT fun to travel in the rain! Our last couple of moves have been in the rain, too. :-( I hope things will improve for you soon so that you can enjoy some walks on the beach. Your site for the next couple of weeks is gorgeous! And half-price wine for the entire list at a wonderful seafood restaurant? I definitely want to go there. Fingers crossed, your next post will feature a beach walk in the sunshine....

  6. Looking forward to seeing the area - we didn't make it there yet! The site looks beautiful, you'll have to let us know where you stayed. Sounds like you've found a spot for all the Mondays you're in the area :-)
