Today we drove a couple of hours to Charleston to go to Folly Beach. Folly Beach is a barrier island. Early settlers, first approaching the island by sea, were welcomed by a pristine, tree lined coast. For many, it was their first sight of land and trees in months -- hence they named their paradise "Folly," from an Old English Word meaning clump of trees or thicket.
It was Jalen's first time in the ocean, or as Baylie called it, the 'lotion.' Baylie couldn't remember swimming in the ocean last summer while we were in Italy, so this was like the first time for her as well.
Baylie had a great time. She played all day with her daddy.
She really embraced the beach.
Jalen loved it as well.
Other than the fact that David and I neglected to put enough sunscreen on ourselves, it was a great day at the beach.

Oh, I hope you didn't fry too bad!!!
Looks like you had a great time! LOVE the beach. I hope you get to enjoy it often since you are only a few hours away. :)
We were at Folly just the other day...we should meet up some time!
We would love it. I'm hoping to get back down to Charleston sometime and do a historical tour. It's such a fascinating place.
