Patty, Suzy and Tina’s visit to the Low Country
by Gil on Nov.11, 2019, under Family
My three sisters from Oregon came to South Carolina at the end of October for a short visit. We did a lot of touring including Hilton Head Island, Savannah, the cottage at Chechessee Creek, Spring Island, Beaufort and Bluffton. The Prado family joined us while we were at the Chechessee Creek cottage and treated our visitors to a boat tour of the river and marshland surrounding Spring Island. We did a trolly tour of Savannah including a tour of the Mercer House famous from the book and movie, Midnight in the land of good and evil. They also toured Beaufort by carriage as well as dipping their toes in the Atlantic ocean ” I can’t believe the water is so warm”. We also did a lot of eating of local dishes and even saw a Manatee at the dock where we had lunch on Hilton Head Island. What follows are some pictures from the visit:
