Day four started much the same as each of the other days.
Sleeping until we felt rested, leisurely breakfast, heading to the beach for a little football,
splashing in the waves, and taking a walk.
Detecting any trends?
One thing we did learn however is that if you are walking toward the pier ~ about two miles in distance down the beach ~ and it becomes obscured in view, you *may* get wet. One of those experiences we'll laugh about later...
We didn't make it all the way to the pier, but after getting soaked in the chilling mist when we finally figured out why the pier had somewhat disappeared, we decided to head back to the house for warm showers. Of course then the sun came out.
But by that point we decided to go ahead and stay clean and opted for some geocaching on the island.
We enjoyed checking out some areas of Holden Beach away from the water and enjoyed the near perfect weather.
Some lead us to areas we didn't know existed on the island, while others were cleverly hidden with clues like, "Stop what you're doing and look to the sea."
All the exercise from our soggy pier walk to geocaching caused us to work up quite the appetites, so we headed to our favorite little coastal town of Calabash for some Calabash shrimp and hushpuppies.
And what night at Holden would be complete without a stop at Beaches N Cream?
Coconut cream, banana pudding and mint chip for the win!
