…for my South Carolina trip was to go to the atlantic ocean.
\n\"IMG_5581\"<\/a>
\nI went there once, when I was 19, the day before I left South Carolina to come back to my home state. I toured the USS Yorktown with my mother. Even though we went on that ship I was never able to really look out over the water and take it all in.<\/p>\n

I wanted to go back and take pictures of it and just feel how big it was. <\/p>\n

It almost didn’t happen this trip, but we figured it out and we got there at the perfect time. The sun wasn’t setting yet, but it was close. <\/p>\n

I almost didn’t get this picture. My friend was worried about our parking spot, and since she has been to the ocean a lot, she decided to head back to the car to keep tabs on it. She told me to stay as long as I wanted, but I felt guilty and I started to hurry to finish and go meet her. <\/p>\n

I started to leave with some regret, then realized that I hadn’t even taken off my shoes to walk in the ocean. Oh my god, how could I go to all this effort and not let myself walk in the ocean. I knew my friend meant what she said and so I ran back,<\/p>\n

\"IMG_5561\"<\/a>rolled up my pants, tore off my shoes, and that is when I realized there were sea shells everywhere. <\/p>\n

The two beaches I have been on before never had sea shells. Like bread crumbs I started following them across the beach. They were just like any sea shell you could buy in a hobby store, but I was still so excited to be collecting these little nature treasures with my own hand.
\nAfter sometime I decided to turn back, and as I did, I got to see the sunset! \"IMG_5560\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I rode home barefoot with the sand on my feet. <\/p>\n

That was lovely. <\/p>\n

Green shoes and green toes with flowers on them, on St. Patricks Day, sea shells, and, an ocean sunset. I hope this makes up for a week of blog neglect!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
