We left Cedar Key on October 29th on our way to the 2nd annual Carolina Clan gathering. After an overnight stop at Walkabout Campground in Woodbine, GA, we arrived at Huntington Beach State Park in Murrells Inlet, SC. This was the same state park that we spent last December at and it felt like we were coming "home".
We had such a fun week. The campfire circle got so large we had to have two fires most nights!
Our kayaking trip on the Waccamaw River was a hit! We had a total of 15 kayaks in the water. It was a beautiful afternoon to spend with friends.

At one point, we all huddled together and formed a "barge" and enjoyed the sunshine and chatted away. It was impossible to get a picture of the gang when you're in the middle!

We had some visitors over the weekend. Brandon, Amanda, Cathy and Bruce had been at the first Carolina Clan gathering and they were able to join us this time as well.

Nancy and Bill let Brandon and Amanda borrow their bikes and we had a great time exploring Huntington Beach. We were able to spot a first for them....

Back at the campground that afternoon, I got to play one of my favorite games....

| Playing Spoons with Nancy, Gin and Syl! |
Gail was watching us to see if she wanted to join in! It sure was a lot of fun.
It was a beautiful morning Sunday and we took advantage of it by walking on the beach.

Mid-morning, Cathy and Bruce arrived. We had a great time catching up, bike riding (20 miles!) and hanging out.
