One of the nice things about moving South, is of course the warmer climate. This past March, while my family and friends were still dealing with snow, rain, and ice back home, we were hitting the beach. The nicest thing to me about Charleston, is that we still have winter, however, the winter months are much milder and February and March here are warming up, and the best time for beach excursions without tourist traffic. This past March we were getting a bit stir crazy from our Winter routine, so decided to head to Folly Beach for the day. Along the way I spotted Jack's Cosmic Dogs. The surf boards sticking out of the building grabbed my attention, so we decided to stop. To be a Sunday afternoon, in March, the place was hopping. We enjoyed our cosmic dogs (minus the spicy mustard), and homemade french fries, then helped ourselves to some soft-serve sundaes. The atmosphere was very laid back, and a perfect place to stop on the way to or from the beach.
After our stop at Jack's, we headed on to the beach. We stopped at one of the beachside parking lots. The cost is $1.00/ per hour. So we stayed for a couple of hours. We enjoyed collecting shells, flying kites, and just relaxing by the ocean. I have found the ocean to be majestic, and peaceful since I was a child. So living within an hour of such beautiful beaches, makes the Charleston area such a nice choice for myself and my family.
