My mom was quite enamored with the awesome pontoon boat we rode out to the island. She said numerous times that she had boat envy and that the pontoon ride was her favorite part of our entire mini-vacay. {My family has a slight obsession with boats and campers… It’s the closest we will ever get to being pirates. And I’m okay with that.}
We spent about 2ish hours on Morris Island. Personally, I could’ve stayed all day and been a happy girl. Chloe {the border collie} on the other hand, who is used to swimming in our freshwater river, she learned REAL QUICK that she couldn’t drink sea water. Somewhere on that island is a buried treasure {or two} that no one really wants to find.
Speaking of treasures - if you like seashells {heck, even if you don’t} you will like what you find on Morris Island. I found two Sand Dollars, a Whelk, several sharks teeth, and a trillion other shells. The last time I went {three years prior} we found a giant shark’s tooth and even some starfish {that were alive so we didn’t keep them!}
Below is the pictures we took 3 years ago after I “we” found this huge shark’s tooth on Morris Island. We still fight over who actually found the tooth and who is it’s rightful owner. I guess, since we are married now… what’s mine is yours?! Ha!
We got to enjoy a cool view of the Charleston Harbor, Fort Sumter, and the Charleston Bridge. Being on a boat just does my soul good. It really was a wonderful morning! I’m not sure where I went wrong in life but I’m pretty positive I should’ve found a career that allowed me to spend my days on the water!
By no means was this a sponsored post. I just want each and every one of you to know that the next time you are in Charleston, in addition to oooh-ing and ahhh-ing over the gorgeous homes and southern flair, you need to visit Morris Island with Captain Howie of Adventure Harbor Tours. I promise you will have such a great time. And if you happen to be traveling with your k9 companion - you will both thoroughly enjoy running and playing on a practically deserted beach.
Before we could wrap up our adventure, Chloe had to snag a picture with Captain Howie. Considering this was her first vacation ever, this dog did it right! Thanks again to Adventure Harbor Tours for yet another memorable trip to Morris Island! {Oh, and when you book your tour with them, be sure to tell him Chloe sent you!}
I’ve never been to Morris Island, but it looks amazing. I’ll make it a point to go next time I’m in Charleston! Chloe looked like she had a blast.
