Travel & Vacation: Isle of Palms Beach, South Carolina

On our recent trip to Charleston, South Carolina we had the opportunity to spend a long day at the Isle of Palms Beach.  The beach was busier than Tybee Beach in Georgia but it was beautiful.    It was a great day swimming and relaxing together.

Two chickies at the beach!

Karlie and Daddy digging.

Karlie and Daddy made a sand castle while Brina and Mommy picked up sea shells.

Brina's favorite sea shells, she said they look like colorful butterflies.

We found a lot of these little clam shells on the beach.  Even though they are fragile Brina still insisted on picking up as many as possible!

Brina found a shell!

There were a lot of people on the beach that day but Brina still spotted a bunch of shells!

Daddy and the girls swimming....well really just everyone standing on Daddy.

Brina thought it was hilarious that she could stand on Daddy’s knee and Karlie is trying to put her glasses back on, silly girls!

Here it comes!

I think Daddy was the only one aware of the big wave about to get them!

Karlie and Mommy swimming

Karlie wore her sunglasses the entire time we were in the ocean.

Pruned feet from swimming in the ocean too long!

The girls thought it was hilarious seeing their hands and feet pruned after swimming in the ocean.  We had been in for at least an hour maybe two so its going to happen eventually.

Cool shades Karlie cat.

Karlie chilling for a few minutes after eating her snack.

Brina spent the entire time eating her snack watching the little puppy next to our tent.

Entertained by the little dog next to us.

Brina catching seashells.

Brina thought it was great sitting at the edge of the water waiting for wave and catching seashells.

Karlie on the run.

Karlie had fun looking for treasures in the water, she is running to the shell bucket.  The best find that day was 2 quarters.

After several hours in the sun at the beach we went back to the hotel and swam for another three hours.  I am not sure how the girls did it but they slept well that night.  It was a lot of fun to spend a day at the beach and pool with the family.

“A Vacation To Remember” series is a reflection on our recent trip and ways we relaxed.  Life is short and we were thrilled to have the opportunity to build memories with family and explore of of the most amazing places during our time away.  Go with a good attitude and looking for fun and it will be an awesome trip jammed packed with positive memories.  It is refreshing having some time away from the regular routine.  Make it a once in a lifetime opportunity to meet new people and learn.  You just might see or try something new that takes your breath away!
