Though its now 3 months since we did this fun day's outing, I'm finally getting the Blog up to date. Since this blog is also my personal diary, I've got photos and memories to get recorded for these last few months.
One of our non-hosting days we drove over to the sweet little town of Bluffton. Since it was chilly and gray, it was a perfect day to catch the movie of Philomena. There are only two theaters in our area and though this one was a 50 minute drive it was well worth it. Great movie, a stop at thrift stores and lunch then just as we were heading back to our park we took a right turn and ended up in the charming historic town of Bluffton. A couple cute little shops and several art galleries to check out.
There were flower boxes an rocking chairs on many of the porches with garden and yard sculptures in this shop.
At the end of the street we came to The Church of the Cross, a historic Episcopal Church built in 1857 and now on the National Register of Historic Places, sitting on the bluff above the May River. In 1863, Federal troops marched into Bluffton burning most of the town. Though the church was left untouched, the congregation fled. Several years passed before church services resumed and they continue today. We walked all around the grounds but the church was not open when we stopped.
Riding along the little side streets of town we saw the local low country architectural style in the homes and colorful art galleries.
Then a late afternoon drive back to Hunting Island and Foster.
