Howdy From The Coast

Mornin' everyone!  I am chillin' out on this Wednesday morning . . . my first full day on the Coastal Caravan, version five.  All my Peeps are here and life is good in the Low Country.

Yesterday we caravanned down with Blue Heaven (Bill & Elaine's Alto) from Newton to James Island County Park in Charleston, SC.  We had a good trip, made one comfort/breakfast/gas stop where we switched drivers and broke the 5-hour trip in half.

It was pretty dang hot yesterday and the humidity made Mom's hair curl like crazy, so getting me set up for the week was a sweaty affair. Friends dropped by off and on all afternoon to get in their hugs and hellos.

Momma Sharon called Rita's down in Folly Beach to warn them that nineteen campers would be arriving for supper at 5:45.  Believe it or not, everyone got there on time!  Check this out: over half of my Beach Peeps ordered Shrimp & Grits!  The volume level in the restaurant was raised considerably because our crowd, LOL.

After supper, there was a stroll over to the pier and gift shop.  It was a lovely evening in Folly Beach and a great way to close out our CCV arrival day.

Thanks so much for dropping by for my initial Coastal Caravan V Story. I will probably let Momma Sharon write some Postcards for you in the coming two weeks.  Taking turns will be fun .  So until I'm back with another Coastal Story, always remember . . . 

"Peace, Love, & Coastal Camping"
