We just came home from an amazing spring break with friends. Melissa and I made reservations at Edisto Beach State Park about 6 months ago. This was highly unusual for us as neither of us are good at planning. I'm so glad we did because it was a great trip. Lots of beach time, bike riding, campfire sitting, eating, drinking, crabbing, catching creepy crawlies and quality time with friends. The weather couldn't have been more perfect and the campground was amazing. We are already planning our next adventure.
The bike train heading to the beach. The campground was less than ten minutes by bike.
Melissa had to help Alice.

The educational program was awesome
The educator handled venomous snakes. This is a water moccasin, right at her feet.
more beach time
Emma decided that she needed some alone time. She quietly picked up her stuff and moved down the beach.
Josh helped her set up
Back at the campsite, Grady caught a Rough Green Snake
Amanda gave Emma a ride on her cool bike. See the handle bars on the back?
A sweet couple walked around the campground blowing bubbles for the kids.
They said they usually do this for their grandchildren but they weren't there. They thought other kids in the campground would enjoy the bubbles.
Grady took the "Party Bus" around the campsite throughout the day
The gang
