So, I got back a couple days ago from my Memorial Day vacation in Folly Beach, SC. FB is about 25 minutes from Charleston (owing in large part to the 30mph speed limit on the island). This was my 2nd annual trip with 13 other kids from this ridiculous hamlet I am loathe to call home.
We ate Cocoa Pebbles in the morning, sat on the beach during the day, and watched the Karate Kid trilogy at night. It is worth noting that we aimed to consume a lot of YeungLing and ignore work/ cellphones. In these endeavors we were successful. I also finally understand the importance of SPF 30 and what this crazy ’sunburn’ thing is.
If you are lucky enough to have a friend with access to a large beach house I recommend you take advantage of it - right now! Book a ticket, gas up the whip, pump up your bike - do what it takes - but GO!
And with that - I give you the least incriminating photos of the trip, (thanks for the pictures Todd).

The Cougar Club at The College of Charleston. Think about it.






in honor of your Karate Kid trilogy marathon, i watched Karate Kid 3 over the Memorial Day weekend. i love that movie. my only two complaints: 1) the way the love interest leaves before the end and never comes back (it’s an unresolved plot thread), and 2) the way the movie just ends the moment after the Karate Kid wins the tournament. yeah, he won and it feels good, but nothing else gets resolved.
maybe what is more impressive is how hillary swank went from the next karate kid to boys dont cry in 5 short years. that is a pretty savage career move.
