Walk with me - Shem Creek

Shem Creek, Mt. Pleasant, SC 

Shem creek is always a vibrant photo op. Birds, fishing, shrimp boats, paddle boats, kayakers and dolphins all in one sweet package. It is always a treat to walk the boardwalk and up on to the bridge.

We made it through Monday, kids! Hang on!

Shem Creek Park Walking

Shem Creek, Mt. Pleasant, SC   

Sidetracked  by the sniffles this long weekend it was lucky I had stockpiled some photos. You can't go wrong walking the lovely boardwalk at Shem Creek. There aren't as many shrimp boats as there used to be but they are still picturesque. I love it. You can always catch folks fishing, shrimping, kayaking and paddling. Vickery's is one of my favorite spots for sunset dining.

One of my goals for last year was to cut my tv cable and I think I have it figured out. I lined up antenna's to both tv's and figured out an Amazon Firestick on one and Chromecast on the other. I am still learning it all but it should save me a tidy monthly sum. I was watching so little regular television during the unbearable election coverage that I really don't miss it. Netflix does lead to hours of binge watching though!

I am enjoying this bonus day off. Happy New Year to you all.

Sunset at Shem Creek

Shem Creek, SC 

There is nothing like a walk on the board walk at Shem Creek at sunset to remind me why we all love Charleston. Sometimes it takes friends visiting to make us do these outings we should be doing all the time. The restaurants were packed and lively. We ate outside at Water's Edge and timed it perfectly to walk along the boardwalk. Glorious!

What is everyone doing this weekend? I've had a busy week and haven't had a thought other than crashing and sleeping in.

 

Shem Creek Boardwalk Park

Shem Creek Park, Mt. Pleasant, S.C.

I finally got around to checking out the new Shem Creek boardwalk park this morning and it was a bright and sunny day for it. Shem Creek with all the picturesque commercial shrimp boat activity is always such a neat spot it's great to get closer to it.

The boardwalk is fresh and new and takes you from Coleman Blvd. to the opening of the harbor. There was plenty of parking this morning but I expect it can fill up fast. It should be a lovely spot to watch the sunset. Here is the link to the Post & Courier details. Ideally I would plan to stop in at Vickery's for brunch but since I was wandering on my own I skipped that this trip. Next time, my sweet blackened salmon caesar salad, next time.
