Spring Break (part 2)

We weren't the only people braving a chilly day to visit the beach!

Day 2 of spring break involved a trip to Sullivan's Island to visit the beach and then a visit to Wannamaker County Park. I'll work on the visit to the park next, but for now... the beach! Unfortunately it was a chilly, cloudy, drab day. And extremely windy. We got a late start, so when we got to Sullivan's Island we grabbed lunch first. We went to Taco Mamacita, which we discovered in Chattanooga. I really like their take on fusion tacos. We definitely recommend it if you get a chance to try it.

After lunch, we headed to the beach and then the sandblasting began. It was a good day to go to the beach if you needed exfoliation. On our walk to the beach we passed this beautiful house.

Beachfront property. I'm sure they have an ocean view from the upstairs deck
 Next is the lighthouse, one of the two major attractions on Sullivan's Island. The other is Fort Moultrie, which we went to a few years ago.

Laughing gull (and here began a strong interest in bird photography...)
 We did walk in the water a little, but it was too chilly to do much more than dip our toes in.

It was drab and windy, but it's still the beach!
And finally I couldn't resist making an animated gif to demonstrate just how windy it was. These 2 shots were about 1/4 second apart.
