One of our friends from Marathon, Marsha and Steve Parkes, live in Beaufort, SC. They dropped off one of their cars today for us to use while we are here. So awesome!  

Marsha and Steve are both recovering from COVID so we are unable to spend time with them. However, Steve did take us for a short drive around town and show us many points of interest. Marsha and her family have a lot of history in town. He showed the house she was born in and all the homes her family has owned and still owns. It was so much fun.

Afterwards, we went to “Q on Bay” for lunch. Because of staffing issues at all restaurants, the wait was 45 min. long so we ate at the bar instead. It turned out to be more fun anyway. We met a nice couple from Chicago that loved hearing about our trip. We also met Andrew, on a sailboat by himself. We saw him in the morning, pull his boat up to a free city dock all by himself!! It was so impressive, and it was fun to meet him.  The food was really good – brisket sliders, loaded grits, stew, mozzarella sticks…. We also enjoyed beer flights. We each had 4 flights and loved all of them. We will definitely be coming back.

Afterwards, Jen was still recovering from being sick, so she rested on the boat while Mike and Kelly took a drive.  Beaufort is a nice small town. There are a lot parks to explore. It was late in the day, so nothing was open, but we enjoyed driving around.  

Later that night, we got a pizza from a famous restaurant in town, “Hearth Wood Fired Pizza”. The mushroom pizza with truffle oil was great. The caesar salad was a bit sad and boring. We might be back but won’t order a salad!!
