By 11:30 this morning we were settled into our new campsite at James Island County Park. This park's roadway is lined completely with holiday light displays that has been going on since Thanksgiving. We were told we should be back in our campsite by 4:30 or 5 this evening if we don't want to sit in line waiting to come in.
Since it is close to lunch time, we decided to drive down to Folly Beach to shop, eat, and walk the beach. Even though the restaurant we stopped at is known for their hamburgers, we had a really great fried seafood lunch at Rita's. We also listened to a one-man band while basking in the warmth on their patio. We shopped some, then took a long walk on the beach at low tide. We found out that they have a "Flip-Flop Drop" at midnight, like the ball dropping in NYC, but we don't plan to watch it. We stopped at a fresh fish market to get some shrimp for supper.
John was especially nice to me this evening. He consented to drive we through the Holiday Lights Festival here in the park and it was really awesome! My favorite was the Noah's Ark with all the animals, but there was a Toy Land, and Sea World, a patriotic scene, several nursery rhymes in lights, many snowmen, reindeer, elves and Santas. Then at 9 PM we got to watch an incredible fireworks show. It was short but mighty!
At about 10 pm (9 central) we got to visit with our friends at home who looked to be having a delightful meal and lots of wine. We will watch TV before turning in for the night -- probably before midnight.

The beach is my favorite place to visit whenever me and my wife go on an RV road trip! The kids always have so much fun especially during the summers. It gets even better when even more members of the family agree to come with us.

Wow! A day of seafood in the beach! That is so nice! How did you guys find the food there? Was it great? There are a lot of food choices when you travel but seafood is my top pick! What recipe was used for the shrimp?
