What have I been up to?
First, we did this...
(click on any picture to enlarge)
Then we headed for Kentucky to visit family. We drove early on Christmas morning and drove right
through that big snow storm that hit the east coast. It was quite a ride but once we arrived Christmas dinner
awaited us!
While in Kentucky, my middle dude celebrated his 17th birthday. Since we were not home I opted to
purchase him a cake. Isn't this just the cutest idea. Maybe I'm behind the power curve on this one but
I've not seen cakes made from cupcakes. Middle dude loved it....
Once we wore out our welcome we headed south back to Georgia.
We didn't even unpack, just added more clothes to our bags and headed to Beaufort and Hilton Head Island,
South Carolina.
Hubby and I have land on St. Helena's Island, SC and needed to check on it. So we made a mini vacation
out of the trip.
minature golf....
Notice who isn't in this picture?
Does a hole-in-two count? If so, I should have found someone to take "our" photo!
Our land is on St. Helena Island, a Sea Island off the coast of Beaufort, SC. It is located on what was an old
plantation property. St. Helena Island is so rich in southern history and is home to Penn Center. Enjoy your
history lesson for the day!!
privately owned plantation home that is ocean front. (Not our home, oh how I wish it were, but you can read
more about it by going here.)
Our property has not been cleared of underbrush and pine scrub in 11 years...
Do you see the dirt road?
Do you see my hubby in the left corner of the picture?
Do you see the wooded lot on the other side?
Guess what is behind that lot?
The Atlantic Ocean!!
I love it here!
Maybe one day....
But for today folks, that's all!
Gotta get this gal a movin'.
Busy day calling my name!
Fondly,
Ann
PS~More vacation pictures to come this week...
