The last couple of days we did some exploring around Beaufort and Port Royal. Thursday the temp was close to 80 and we used the bikes at the marina to ride into Beaufort. It is a quaint town and has a downtown section on the waterfront. We sat and had a Carolina Lemonade at Luthors and watched the boats go by. The town converted a railway into a bike and walking trail that runs from Beaufort to Port Royal and it made for both an easy and scenic bike ride. Also did some boat maintenance.

Yesterday got chilly and was only in the mid-50s. The marina offered their truck for a few hours and we drove down to beach, stopping in Frogmore for some lunch. Tricia made home made spaghetti sauce and noodles from a spaghetti squash that our friends Mike and Sue gave us from their garden. Paleo spaghetti and a nice bottle of merlot!! It was fabulous.

It got really cold last night, and in anticipation I plugged in anther shore power cord to run our heating system. We have also have a cable TV plug-in at this marina, so we have been watching TV at night. I’d say it was a real treat since we don’t normally have that, but there is nothing but crap on TV, so we haven’t been missing much. I do like to see the weather and stock market activity, I must admit.

Dad and Celeste dropped off a car for us to use for a few days while they are traveling, so we might make a run to Hilton Head for the day. We rented a car starting next Tuesday to make the trip home to tie up some loose ends (like winterize the lake house) and visit friends and family. I am looking forward to seeing everyone, but I am not looking forward to the weather up there! It is going to warm up here to 60 tomorrow and 70 the next day, only to be followed by colder weather….50s! Not so much for Ohio. Need to get moving again to warmer weather when we get back.
