Best Place to Camp

Justin and I celebrated our 9th anniversary by heading to the beach for a 2-night get-a-way. Our destination was Hunting Beach, South Carolina. Along the way we stopped at old remains of a church that had burned down twice, once in the revolutionary war and once during the civil war.
Then this is what happened once we got closer to the campground!
 It never actually rained on us while we were there, but the wind was amazingly strong. We had to put the tarp up between the trees so our tent wouldn't fly off and away! On the other side of that little fence was the beach! Awesome!
 This picture doesn't capture the awesomeness of it, but it looked like a desert sandstorm on the beach during low tide.
 This was one of the storms that went by us but never hit us. The clouds were amazing. Our last day was super sunny and hot. I actually preferred the clouds.
 Down the beach a piece from us were trees like this one. They were scattered everywhere so that you had to weave in and out of them to walk down the beach. Crabs were all over the place here.
 Somehow we were the only ones in this area which made it almost like a deserted island. I assume it was because of the rain. This light house has been there forever. The trees along the nearby road looked like we were driving through a jungle. Very unique.
 Perfect view, perfect weather. The fun part was when J and I sat in the same spot until the high tide coming in knocked us backwards off our chairs.
 The overcastness made for a great to walk down the boardwalk without getting hot. Lots of people were there to catch all kinds of fish and sharks off this thing. We only saw one. 
 Dinner at a super great place....called....
 Outside view from the restaurant. This was one of the boats the restaurant uses to get all its seafood.
 Happy Anniversary!
