Following our Italy Wine Trip
Annette and I went to Charleston, South Carolina, for a beach weak with our daughter Cornelia Treman and her husband Chris with Viatrix and Ernst. We stayed at Ocean Thriller (903 Ocean Boulevard), their rental property.
Also with us where our daughter Katharina (who flew in from Mexico City), the parents of Chris and Doug and Amanda with their 2 children. In addition, Jessy and Becca and their 4 children were with us most of the time, while they had rented a beach house next to house of Cornelia and Chris.
The routine was basically the same every day: We would get up and have breakfast. Then we would go to the beach followed by lunch at home. In the afternoon, some of us would go for a second round to the beach, others would stay at the pool. At 6:00 was dinner time, prepared by Cornelia/ Chris or Doug/Amanda or Jessy/ Becca. After dinner, the kids would spend another 2 hours or so at the pool with the adults enjoying a glass of wine or beer at the pool.

Pool
For dinner we always stayed home with one of the couples being in charge of dinner.
Wine consumption was very limited. Essentially I was the only one drinking wine regularly. I had brought a dozen bottles of wine from my cellar in McLean. More popular was beer.
A couple of times we went out for Happy Hour.
We
had a wonderful Frogmore Stew for dinner prepared by Amanda and Doug
for us. The dish was a medley of corn, shrimp, king crabs, sausage, and
potatoes, all boiled together in a large pot with Old Bay seasoning and
served on our large back porch table covered with brown paper. Thanks
Doug and Amanda for this amazing Southern seafood boil feast.
Lunch at Magnolias in Charleston
A staple in Charleston for over 30 years, Magnolias remains a forerunner
in upscale Southern cuisine, presenting traditional ingredients and
cooking techniques elevated by modern flair and artful presentation.
Full Self-Driving (Supervised)
I went with Chuck (Cornelia's father-in-law) in his Tesla to lunch in Charleston. Chuck turned on the Full Self-Driving (Supervised) feature of his car. Essentially, the car drove by itself from our house to the restaurant, without any intervention by Chuck.
