Lazy Lake Day





We spent an entire day on Lake Murray, South Carolina. Steve and I bought our first house on this lake and were married while living here. It's 50,000 acres of pristine water and more than 500 miles of shoreline. The water was clear and warm on this sunny day. It was a Tuesday, so there were very few other boats. The kids loved the islands. We hiked to a red clay bluff at the end of an island Steve and I called "Red Island." We saw a beautiful school of 9 striped bass. A fisherman's dream come true as they lazed their way through the rocks just a few feet off shore. Underestimating the sun and overestimating our sunscreen, we were all pink as the sun set in the west and we turned left toward the Blue Ridge Mountains heading for the Northeastern U.S.
