Hi everyone.  Today is Robin's birthday and she is spending the night in Iowa.  Well after a slow 5 hours on the road and only making 200 miles progress, they decided to call it a day.  I remember a high school classmate asking me what Iowa stood for...I said "no".  He replied  Idiots Out Wandering Around.  I really don't think the joke will cheer them up much.  They still have a long day's drive to make it to their new home.

Today after no success trying to play golf, we ventured off to Sea Pines Resort area which is the southwest end of the island.  There are many areas where there are nice homes but many are well hidden because of the successful attempts of concerned people to leave many areas of the island in their natural state.  There are walking trails and bike trails everywhere.  We stopped to take a walk in the Sea Pines Forest Reserve.

Within the Forest reserve area there was a place for people to hike into and have picnics and gatherings.  For those who know me well, you can understand my liking to the grill that was available to use.  I'm not sure our sons-in-law would use it but they would nevertheless understand.

We did make it to a local well known area of Sea Pines Resort...Harbor Town Golf course...home of the annual RBC Heritage classic.   From atop the well known lighthouse we could look back up the finishing hole where Arnold Palmer won the first year's tournament.

All in all, a wonderful day...and I got to spend it with my best friend.
