Beach Party

We're back from our week at Hilton Head, and we had a great time. It's been one of those usual rainy springs around the Pacific NW, so it was good to see some sunshine. Of course, now that we're back home, it's gotten distinctly spring-like here finally, with the lilacs blooming, and a few baby ducks showing off on the lake. No pictures of them yet, but so far I've counted five new arrivals.

Here are a few photos of the trip, giving you an idea of just how much fun we had.

Since we had a two-bedroom condo, John's sister, Ena, came along to spend the week with us.

We took a short bus tour of Charleston, which I'm pretty sure that John planned out so we wouldn't have time to hit the yarn shops.

I did have time to meet another knit-blogger, Vera, of Vera's Crafty Blog. We met after the tour for lunch.

Here are our current socks-in-progress:

We dipped our feet in the Atlantic Ocean:

And we knit. Ena is learning how to knit, and when I saw that she was in dire need of some new yarn for a project, what could a sister do? We found the local yarn shops (which were a little less than inspiring, by the way--I'm pretty sure I have more yarn in the stash at home than either one that we went to), and she stocked up on some yarn for pretty scarves.

We played Mexican Train. While John and I are old pros, this was the first time Ena had played.

We finally ran out of booze and had to come home:

This was the first time I had been to Hilton Head, but I could definitely see going back.

Next time, a Project Update!
