The lovely Isle of Palms, SC

This past weekend we had the opportunity to spend the weekend at Isle of Palms, SC.  I seriously could live there (if I could afford it).   I LOVE it there!   John was down the week before for an Entreprenurial Forum event and all the people involved rented a house and then their families came to spend the weekend.   It was very chilly in the morning but warmed up enough in the afternoon to sit out at the beach and by the pool.  The water was way too cold for me to get in but the kids didn't seem to mind.   It was a nice break from reality.  Too bad it ended so quickly!

 The pool

 The pool and the beach just out the back door.  It was awesome!  I didn't want to go home!

 The house was hot pink.  The kids thought that was a very cool feature

 The alligator statue in the yard shot water into the pool.

 The back of the house

 It was a quirky house.  All of the bedrooms were themed.  No one but the kids wanted to sleep in this room.  Wonder why?  This was the hippie room.  It had tons of glowing stars all over the wall and ceiling.  The kids  loved it!

 There were some really big jelly fish washed up on the beach.  You had to pay attention to where you stepped.  One of the little girls in our group picked one up.  Not a good idea.  She had to make a trip to the fire station to get stuff to put on it.

 View from the restaurant at the Marina where we ate lunch.  It was a lovely day and a lovely view.  I could so live here.

You probably can't read the street sign.  It says Princess St.  The girls were thrilled that they named a street after them  ;-)
