Vacation by the marsh

It is starting to get chilly in Maryland, and so I made an impromptu trip to my mother's home in South Carolina.  On our first day, we made our way to palmetto bluff. 

 There is something about this sweet little church that draws us in.

 We went at the perfect time of day, I was able to get some good interior pictures.

 So I am determined that should I ever marry, that it should happen here.

After a long few weeks at work, with a lot of overtime, the marshes were a welcomed site.  What a wonder place for a relaxing vacation.  

Love Always,

Frogs, Dolphins, and Sunshine in South Carolina!!!

Day two in South Carolina was action packed. 

My mother and I started the morning with a mimosa and found a cute little frog.  I'm not sure if it is Seamus, the same frog that I saw year, but I called him Seamus anyway.

 He started out in the patio umbrella, but quickly made his way to the patio chairs. 

Next we drove to Palmetto Bluff, which is one of my favorite places.

 This is my favorite house, it is gorgeous.  

Next we visited the Hummingbird and Butterfly garden at lake somerset.  I have still never seen a hummingbird, but hopefully I will one of these days.  

I did see another bee.

 Finally we visited the Riverbend marshes.

 I could not have been more surprised to see dolphins, fishing in the marshes.  

I didn't even see this little dolphin tail flip out of the water in real time, I only saw it on my computer screen.  

What a beautiful day. 

Love Always,

Palmetto Bluff

 Today I visited Palmetto Bluff in South Carolina.  

After the freezing temperatures in Maryland, it was great to sit outside without my coat.  

 The view from the pier was spectacular.  The water is vividly blue.

 I love how the moss drips from the trees.  

 But my absolute favorite pictures of the day, are from the palmetto bluff church.  When I have imagined my wedding, this is exactly what I have always imagined.  A small church, right on the water, and lots of light.

 The church backs right up to the water.

 What a gorgeous church!!!  

We had lunch at a restaurant right across from the church and enjoyed the lovely weather.  Very thankful to be far away from the snow.

Love Always,

Meg
