Jour dix-huit: Hilton Head, SC to Charleston, SC

What could possibly be better than a lovely time at the beach? Two lovely times at the beach!

Today we set of at a leisurely pace from Hilton Head, and went up the coast to Beaufort. We looked around the picturesque little town, had a wood-fired pizza lunch, and then set off for the beach.

We swam, built a sand-castle, body-surfed, and had another great time at the beach.

After packing up and moving on, we came to the decision that we aught to go to get some fresh-boiled shrimp at a roadside stand and have some shrimp salad or what have you. We stopped at what we thought was a stand, but it turned out to be a restaurant. We have a one meal out a day policy, so we thought we'd move on, but Wyatt, after reading the menu, talked us into staying, and we're glad we did. It was everything we could wish for in a shrimp dinner.

Full and satisfied, we moved on and have come to rest in Charleston. Tomorrow, we'll explore, and the boys are looking forward to a fishing trip on Sunday.
