Kiawah Island - May 2021 - Two Years Since Our Last Trip Here!
Well, this is our first 'vacation' since the start of COVID isolation in early 2020 - decided to do a 4-nighter on Kiawah Island, one of our favorite get-aways (been coming here since the early 1980s) - the usual 5-hour drive (maps on earlier posts for those interested). Some rain is predicted so not sure what we will be doing but today a walk to the ocean!
First four pics below on our arrival (only brought my iPhone, so my sole camera) from around our rented lagoon villa. Because of COVID, the Sanctuary Hotel (see previous page) restaurants are open only to guests of the hotel, so two of our usual dinners eliminated. On our first night, we decided to eat at the Osprey Point Golf Course - the restaurant in the club house is the Cherrywood BBQ & Ale House with a wonderful selection of beers bottled or canned AND many 'on tap' - plenty of local USA micro breweries - Susan is a fan of barbecued ribs and theirs were superb along with an award winning Mac & Cheese; for me, an Asheville IPA to start w/ our shared smoked chicken quesadilla, then a glass of Ferrari-Carano chardonnay w/ my 'catch of the day', a pan seared tilefish w/ an assortment of veggies and small fried potatoes - no dessert (we were filled, especially Susan!).
Next, a walk to the ocean if weather permits. P.S. last four pics from the web. Dave
