Elevation, one foot.

Here’s a little Re-View of the Martins’ fabulous vacay in the Low Country of South Carolina.

I hope to take the astonishing Carolina Coast into clearer View in future blog posts. But for now I’ll share the family snapshots. I’m so grateful to Mom and Dad, and to Chris and Leslie. Thanks for hosting so graciously! And thanks especially to Leslie for our perfect mini-get away on the soft, powdery sand of the Grand Strand.
