Aiken is a great little city - but every once in awhile we all need to 'get away'!
My place to go has always been the shore. Down here they call it 'the beach' :)
My favorite beach (since moving here) in SC is definitely Hilton Head Island. Just a little more than a 2 hour drive and you are at the coast - with your toes in the sand :)
Just one of about 500 sunrise pics I took last week:
Come see what South Carolina has to offer!! Give me a call - I'm happy to help with your Aiken area real estate needs.
Have a great day!

I have never been to SC but all the pictures I see posted in AR really make me want to visit your beautiful state.
That beach photo is incredible, love the colors and reflection. excellent job....
you should try to get to this little ole Southern town sometime Bill :)
Thanks Diane! I was up super early that morning, it was a beautiful sunrise.
It will always be the shore to us Jersey Girls Kara. I was just thinking why don't I move someplace with salt in the air and waves rolling in. Maybe someday. Love SC beaches!!!
Kara... What a SPECTACULAR picture. That is one of the best sunrise/sunset pictures I have ever seen.
I hear ya Paddy! :)
Thanks Valerie :)
Hi Kara, these colors are gorgeous. I can just feel the breeze on my skin, smell the salty air, and hear the waves crashing on an otherwise quiet morning. What a perfect way to start the day! Thanks for sharing!
definitely a perfect way to start the day! I wish I lived there :) Thanks for stopping by Silvia.
What a gorgeous photo! You must have been up pretty early to capture that one!
