Well if you’re like most Americans over the weekend you had lots of friends, family, fireworks and FOOD! I’m a much better cook than I am photographer, which you’ll see by these photos from my phone. However, I can assure you the tomato pie and Vidalia onion corn muffins (pictured here) were to DIE FOR.
There was so much to eat and so little room! Our celebration actually started Thursday night and carried into Monday evening as the last of the fireworks popped and fizzled. We had friends and family we see often in addition to those we see less often.
The only setback we encountered was the west wind. When the wind blows from the west, it pushes the Gulf Stream’s warm water out to sea and leaves us with much colder water on the shore. The temps were about 58 to 60 degrees for most of the weekend. However, now the wind has shifted and it’s warmed back up. The other challenge with the west wind is the flies! And they bite too. They seek the protection the fabulous tall dunes provide and so we once again dealt with these pesky visitors.
By the time things wound down yesterday afternoon, we were all exhausted and barely made it to the main event – fireworks. We crashed out for the night after all the fun and excitement from the much anticipated weekend. We’ll do it all again next year!
I hope your holiday was as safe and fun as ours!
