We combined a day of business with some additional days of pleasure at the beach, and stayed at Wild Dunes at Isle of Palms. It was such an enjoyable trip, the weather was wonderful, the hotel was beautiful, and the service was excellent. The first day at the beach Bella only wanted to play in the waves at the beach, and needless to say, she wanted to ride my back in doing so. As we got to the beach around 11:00am, we took some chairs, towel, water and lemon drinks, and no food. I kept asking Bella if she wanted to eat, and every time she would answer, "no, Poppy". She also wanted to ride the waves, no less, on my back. This lasted from 11 - 4pm and to say the least, I was somewhat tired, but we had a lot of fun as it was a great day to ride the waves. Dianne brought some crackers to the beach since she and Bella love to feed the seagulls, and sometimes the birds will take the crackers right our of their hands. We left the beach around 5:30pm and decided to go into Mt. Pleasant and get some seafood at Shem Creek. When we got there, every restaurant had lines that were hours of waiting. Bella could not wait that long and so we found a Mexican restaurant called Los Arcos and the food was really good. Afterwards we drove into Isle of Palms and Bella and Dianne got us some ice cream at Ben and Jerry's.
The next day we bought an inner tube for Bella to ride the waves, but she did not use it very much. We spent most of the day on the beach and again the weather was wonderful. Dianne found some sand dollars but we threw them back into the ocean. Even using 50spf sunscreen Bella got a little red under her eyes, but was not hurting. We came back to the pool later in the day and Dianne was teaching Bella how to swim, float, go under water, and she did great.
Wild Dunes is a very nice resort and the complimentary valet services and other services made our stay so much more pleasant. The room was an upgrade with kitchen, jacuzzi tub, outside porch, and had everything we needed for our stay.
Dianne and I plan to go back sometimes, just the two of us.
God bless.
