Ya’ll ain’t from around here

We finally left South Carolina, and miss it already.  We spent a total of 6 days between Hilton Head Island and Charleston and we didn’t even scratch the surface.  There is a tremendous amount of activities, history, food and culture to be explored.  We did our best to hit some of our highlights (eating & drinking).  But for certain, we’ll be back for another go around.  But next time we’re flying.

On the way out of town, we stopped at (in my humble opinion), the second best BBQ in the Country.  And yes, I’ve been to the best.  RodneyScott’s BBQ.  But don’t take my word for it, Anthony Bourdain did it justice in this little piece from Part’s Unknown:  #2

If you wanna know my number one, you’ll have to watch it here:  #1

Last night we stayed at the Goose Creek RV Resort in Newport, NC.  A little party community of part timers, weekenders and one-nighters.  You either have a tricked out golf cart or a fishing boat, to be considered a local here.  But they’re very welcoming to strangers and especially Californian’s.  Not sure why, but it seems like most people we talk to are amazed that we actually drove all the way out here.  Then when they realize we did it with 4 dogs, they can’t believe it.  All things considered, it’s really been quite easy.

Today’s the big day with the short drive.  We have about 3 hours to Kill Devil Hills in the Outer Banks, and The 2017 Family Reunion.  Looking forward to seeing everybody and spending some good times together.  Look out folks, here come the Griswolds……
