A Week at Pawleys Island, South Carolina

Recently, J and I went to Pawleys Island, SC for a week of relaxing in a rental house with her family.

Our flights went to and from Atlanta, which was a six hour drive away.

The house was the perfect size for our party of twelve. The weather was hot and humid, but mostly rainless.

Most of the break involved a lot of hammock lounging, paddle boarding, canoeing, boogie boarding, sand castle making, eating, playing cards, building with Lego, and visiting.

I took a break from photos too, as my lens clouded up every time I went between inside and outside. Plus, I didn’t want to get sand all over the camera or dunk it in salt water.

We spent the night in Atlanta before flying back, and had time to visit two of J’s old friends and get nice and sweaty before our flight.

I definitely want to go back to South Carolina. There was a lot of weird scenery and abandonment that I didn’t get to explore as a passenger, and is a treat to have ocean water warm enough to play in without a wet suit.
