Weekending on Island Time

It's been said on this blog a million times before but it's always worth repeating: a weekend at Kiawah is so good for the soul.

 

It had been six weeks since I last set foot on my favorite island and y'all, six weeks was entirely too long. The only bright side to leaving yesterday afternoon was that I'll be back in two short weeks for a long weekend of 4th of July fun {and for a beach wedding!}

There are very few times that I live on "island time" but this weekend? There was no schedule to stick to. It was so incredibly nice to just wake up and go and do whatever.

There was an attempted morning run on Saturday:

Nope. I ditched that run one mile in because it was entirely too humid outside to be running around. I opted for a 3 mile walk with my mom followed up with 20 miles of island biking.







That afternoon, we threw in a little beach time plus some sunset drinks down on the boardwalk.


 

 

On Sunday, there was another 3 mile walk along the beach and the bike paths.

 

We followed that up with cooking a family breakfast of cheese biscuits, bacon, grits, and eggs at the house for Father's Day.

 

 

& then of course, MORE BEACH TIME!

 

 

What you don't see in these pictures is all of the wind and the piles of sand that were blowing around. We got so sandblasted out on the beach this weekend. I finally found a sweet spot on the beach to sit {right next to the water where the sand was too wet to blow} and was perfectly content out there for hours.

 

Leaving is always the worst but it's good to know that we'll be back soon!

 

 

Until next time, Kiawah!
