Thoughts on South Carolina









Tomorrow we leave South Carolina on the way to Atlanta and an airplane trip for Nana to see new little Izzy. I won't be blogging for a couple weeks since every free minute will be busy with baby and helping out.

So before I leave South Carolina and my blog, I wanted to get down some impressions of this wonderful state.
-driving through tunnels of live oaks with spanish moss dripping everywhere
-maritime forests with warm sunshine dappling through. bike rides on forest paths and across marsh boardwalks
-Intracoastal water crossings, bridges the highest spot arounds, barrier islands with beautiful white sand beaches, just right for a picnic with a good friend
- canoeing along a 'creek' that is as big as most rivers anywhere else
-huge marshes that change color in the light and breezes that are welcome
-Charleston that is so full of history, charm, wonderful homes and plantations. Savannah (it might as well be South Carolina) and its perfect squares and fountains with St Pattys Day green water.
-Congaree National park that is a perfect place for a peaceful stroll along a boardwalk through an old bottomland forest.

And enjoying it all with my darling husband and dearest friends (Trina, Sue, Kirsten & Cline). What a lucky person I am. Life is good.
