Our best friends came with their two kids and my brother-in-law and sister-in-law came with our nieces and nephew. We had a great time! We went on a boat tour out to Morris Island lighthouse. My heart was going crazy as we gently boated along beside DOLPHINS!!!!!!! I am a lover of dolphins. I will swim with them soon. It is on the bucket list. They were so beautiful and curious about us. They would swim right up by the boat, take a peek at us, and then swim under and come up on the other side. It was PHENOMENAL!!! I was in heaven! We walked Morris Island for about 45 minutes and were able to gather shells that were as big as my hand! I will be using those for summer decorating!
We had the best weather, great food, and wonderful times! Here are a few pictures of our boat tour and eats!

| They were so close!!! I was giddy! I would love to jump in, but there is a $23,000 fine for feeding them, swimming with them, or bothering them at all. |

| An oyster boat came in about the time we did. They get about $14 a basket. |

Looks as if a fun time was had by all! I wish I could be walking along the shore. I miss going to California- we've been there in March/April for the past few years. Maybe sometime soon....

Beautiful photos! What an exciting little trip! I have never been up close to Morris Island but have a Madeline Carol Morris Island print I adore! How exciting to be surrounded by the dolphins! Thank you so much for the heads up on this blogger I will visit here for sure. However, I just have to ask why are reading 308 scholarship essays? Do tell!

Oh Kathryn, this post is like arm chair traveling only it didn't cost me a dime! I too would love to swim with the Dolphins and its right there in my bucket list as well ! Until then, this is just so wonderful seeing them *RIGHT THERE* swimming next to your boat, I love it and I loved seeing the wall to wall sunshine, something the Pacific Northwest is so missing right now!!!
