So today is the first day of summer … and I was thinking about another first day of summer when I was in my early 30s when SWAC Husband and I took our 16-month-old son and visited with friends who were living in Charleston, S.C.
On June 21 of that year we all boarded their boat and headed out into Charleston Harbor to visit historical Fort Sumter, walking its pathways and absorbing the history of it all.
After leaving Fort Sumter, we pointed the boat toward the coastline and went into one of the delta inlets for some shrimping, a great pastime for our friends and something that was about to become a new experience for us. After anchoring the boat, we swam and waited for the water to recede as the time for low tide approached.
