Independence Day - freedom to do nothing

7-4-07

Happy 4th of July. We miraculously found a parking stop on the Isle of Palms (thanks to Grandma’s handicapped placard), and we spent a few hours at the beach. We had blue skies and less wind than yesterday. It was a blast.

This afternoon, we spent time at the KOA swimming and relaxing. We even saw an alligator in the small lake next to the campground. Don’t worry, that’s not where we were swimming. There’s a pool here.

We had planned to go out to see some fireworks, but Grandma wasn’t feeling well so we stayed here. We could see some fireworks over the trees, but we couldn’t use any of our own here. Some crazy rule the KOA has because of the big propane tank in the middle of the park. So maybe I’ll have a few items left for use at a later date.
