Kiawah Island Golf Resort, Continuing Medical Education

During the week of July 3 to July 8, Howard and I and our friends, Rod and Diane and their 2 children, spent the week at Kiawah Island in South Carolina.  It is located near to Charleston, SC.
Following are some pictures of our trip.  We also enjoyed some bike riding, and a beautiful fireworks display on the 4th of July, while sitting on the beach.  Also not pictured are the times we had playing games at our villa, at night, mainly, Guesstures.  It was hilarious!  Love it!  Diane, Gabby and I took on the guys, and beat them soundly.  We were great!  :)

Enjoy the posts!

Oyster Roast, Mingo Point, Kiawah Island Golf Resort, July 3, 2001

On July 3, 2011 we all went to the OysterRoast at Mingo Point 

While Howard, Diane and I ate barbeque ribs, chicken, corn on the cob, and all kinds of other delicious southern delicacies,  Rod, Gabby and Sadri enjoyed the oysters (yikes!)

 Gabby said she found her calling, she wants to open oysters for other people.  In the meantime, Sadri couldn't eat them fast enough......


On July 4th, Kiawah had a bike parade.  Here Gabby is decorating her bike for the parade
and

Sadri is decorating his, while his mom, Diane, holds her bike up.  Yes, that's Howard in the white shirt, and Diane's husband Rod, in the back ground.

 
and even Trixie, our little miniature Blue Dapple Dachsund, joined in the parade.

One evening we went to eat at Osprey Point Golf Club and had a beautiful view from our table on the veranda of the golf course.  Yes, that is an alligator on the bank.  On the bank of this particular pond, in the middle of a golf course, there were at LEAST 10, yes, 10, of these buggers, scattered around it.  We even saw some bikers on the trail, above this one, who couldn't decide if they should try to pass them or turn around.  Some went on by.  We enjoyed watching these guys for a couple of hours, during our meal, and at one point, they  all slid back into the pond for a while.  There were a group of children near one of the banks, and they all started a slow swim toward them.  Fortunately the manager came out and told them they needed to move on (the children, not the alligators).

Okay, I tried.  I really tried.  But, really, how good can anyone be when the temperature is at the melting point. 
On our last evening at Kiawah, we enjoyed a very nice dinner on the Jasmine Porch, at the Sanctuary hotel.

Had a little vsitor recently -- he got a little hungry ---decided to try Doc's dog food.  He kept at it until Doc saw him and tried to chase him down.  Fortunately he got away.
