I'm back! The beach with the family was amazing and incredibly relaxing. I'm exhausted from the pleasantly sheer satisfaction of mornings spent sleeping in, days spent lounging by the beach, afternoon bike rides, and early bedtimes. Who knew the good old days of summer and fun could be so grueling? I got to spend a little time in Charleston, and a lot of time enjoying unplanned adventures around the small island of Edisto Island, SC. For the first time in too long, a week long vacation was spent soaking up the rays, gathering around a table and conversing, devouring while equally savoring delicious food, fighting tidal waves, and embracing the bits of sand found in nooks and crannies they shouldn't be lost in. I come home relaxed, recharged, and ready to tackle the unexpected that life seems to be handing...dare I say at that a little R & R make does a body good and makes our soles a little stronger?
