My Week Vacation (Saturday)

We had intentions of hiking along the sound first thing in the morning, but within a few hundred yards, we were attacked by hoards of bugs and saw piles of poison ivy. So we aborted that mission and headed back to the beach.

Gretchen and Becket later went to the aquarium with the Cutlers, which left Micah alone with her parents. We headed back to Beaufort on a mission to get over to one of the islands to see the wild horses up close and personal. When we arrived in town, none of the ferry operations were still running, so we talked a few local fishermen into dropping us over on Carrot Island, although we didn't negotiate a return trip.

We made it to the horses!

Luckily, we were able to flag down a couple in there boat cruising by the island and they graciously dropped us back on the mainland.
