I have been remiss --

AND NOW SWITCHING CONTINENTS

all the way to a South Carolina beach

I have indeed been remiss -- since return home and recovery from jet lag - (that by the way gets harder and harder) I have just not gotten done all that needs doing.   Last week Patt and I were in South Carolina at Folly Beach for a wedding, later blog, but primarily to to see ta DA !!  Raleigh, the child, not the city. and he certainly is a charmer.  Handsome 

 He of course came with his parents, Stephen and Jen with whom we enjoyed sharing a beach front house with

 and had some good time relaxing and visiting and playing.  Raleigh as you may notice likes his pacifier, can not tell yet if he will like it as much as his aunt Laura did or not.

 Folly Beach reminded us a great deal of Oak Island - for obvious reasons, as seen below, and the major difference, -- the little town, shopping area was much much nicer, -- I think in large part due to the not so far away Air Force Base.  So it was nicer in that sense.  More bars and restaurants, but it was still a family beach.

 We enjoyed walking on the beach -- very wide at low tide.

 and of course a little snuggling with the grandson.
