Spring Break!

Hello!  Welcome to SHIbuckeye! 


It has been a beautiful week so far on St. Helena Island with temperatures in the high 70's and a record breaking 88 yesterday.  Mother Nature couldn't have been more cooperative for our spring break guests to enjoy the beach. 

Toes in the Sand

Granddaughter #2 and friends left today after being here a few days.   With Paris Island Marine Base across the bay, it isn't surprising that the Marines landed at Little Beach House a couple of times!

We enjoyed being uninvited guests at a lovely wedding and the girls and I decided it was perfect.  It was a beautiful spring day and the ceremony took place on the beach under the watchful eye of the lighthouse.  There were more people in the wedding party than guests, which made us think the whole family had a part to play in the vows being spoken.  The bride was beautiful.  The reception was in the shelter by the lighthouse and if I know our Island, there was enough food to feed everyone in Beaufort County.  Small, intimate, beautiful and meaningful; what more could a bride want?

A day on the beach wouldn't be complete without someone feeding the seagulls.  Below a little girl is delighted with the birds flying down and taking food from her hands. 

 

  

Hungry Seagulls

Sandcastles are a sure sign spring has arrived and tourists are beginning to return.

 Soon, we'll need the island's two traffic lights!  Restaurants will be full and tee times will have to be made a few days in advance.  Summer will have returned in all its glory and with it...the tourists and summer people.  How well I remember being one of them and enjoying every minute of our beach time.  I wonder if we'll go on vacation now?  I wonder where we'll go?  I wonder why you'd go on vacation when every day is vacation?  Hmmmm....I wonder...but not for long...time to play!

Thanks for reading SHIbuckeye!  I love sharing our part of the world with you.  Until next time, wherever you are...enjoy!
