Continuing our “Tour America” campaign (see Tried and Died), the troupe gathered in South Carolina for a few days of R+R. When you’re part of “The Most Interesting Family In The World,”relaxing beachfront vacation seems tame compared to past forays. How would we fare? What would we do? And what the heck is a Kiawah?

More Kiawah after the break.

Much to Ansley’s chagrin, the trip started with a raucous tour of a southern plantation. Much to Dad’s chagrin, said plantation charged $25 per head. And much to Mom’s chagrin, we gave her copious amounts of shit for suggesting it. The Boone plantation, however, ended up being a really good time not only because of its insane beauty, but also because we couldn’t stop making terrible jokes about it.

From there we continued into the heart of Charleston to meet up with hometown hero Trent. A veritable celebrity, Trent seemed to know every good looking male and female we crossed paths with, so if the degree nonsense doesn’t work out there’s definitely a place for him in hospitality. I didn’t document much of downtown, or Trent for that matter, but my BIGGEST regret was missing out on the highest grossing CVS in the country.

The rest of the trip was spent in the saddle, the sun, or both. The beach was totally different from the version at home. Hard enough to ride bikes on, and plastered with all forms of strange sea life. We abused both attributes, spent the days riding up and down the island, and the evenings lounging by water.
