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....

We had a great time watching the birds on the causeway.

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.

It sure was a great week catching up with old friends and meeting new ones!!

It was wonderful!, one of my most favorite times was our bike ride together! Thanks for your patience, still working on riding my nobbies off!
It seems like we waited "forever" for the 2nd annual and now it's already over! Great memories though!
See you next summer :)
Great post of a great time!! Just can't believe it is all over. See you sometime, somewhere this winter. Don't work too hard;o))
Brandon's got a beard!Almost didn't recognize him. Bruce and Dan look like twins. And you and Cathy look so sweet. Glad you had friend time and family time. Miss ya'll.
We had such a good time! Glad that we got to know you guys more too. Hopefully someday our paths will cross again, and before next October!
Yes it was a very good week with the CC bunch. We miss y'all but know that we will cross paths again soon. Enjoy family time!

If we had any more fun we would have all ended up in jail! ;c)
Just wait until next year! :c)
We were so glad we were able to catch up with you two. The weather was beautiful, but the company was even better. Love you Sis & Dan.
Glad to see that you're having more fun as y'all mosey your way back here to NC. Can't wait to see you & enjoy the garlic shrimp you're going to cook for my birthday:-) By the way, did Brandon lose his razor? (LOL!) XOXO
