An old friend visits

Yesterday a very dear friend of mine visited us on Daniel Island and stayed overnight. Not only was it great to see Michelle and to catch up, it was also great to see Daniel Island through her eyes. After living here for some time, one becomes used to the flowers, the pace, and the general feel of the island.

We had a lovely dinner at Sienna, a top quality modern Italian restaurant right here on the island. Sienna was rated one of the top restaurants in America by Esquire magazine in 2004 and it maintains its high quality to this day. It's stylish but comfortable and we are blessed to have it in the neighborhood. Michelle's remarks on Daniel Island were illuminating and it is always nice to get a fresh perspective.

Charleston is a great food town and my husband works at one of the best at Charleston Grill. There are countless fine restaurants in town but if you really want to treat yourself, head on down to "the Grille" and ask for Steve. He'll be more than happy to take care of you.

The big release of the golf course lots happens this weekend and we are very excited here in the sales office. We are having a number of events surrounding the release such as helicopter rides, golf lessons, kayaking, shopping trips, you name it, we have something planned for it.

It's a big weekend in Charleston this weekend. First we have the Cooper River Bridge Run, then the Flowertown Festival in nearby Summerville, and a Cajun festival on James Island. Charleston is really kicking off the spring season and I just read a report in today's business section of the newspaper which stated a positive outlook for the future of the lowcountry area. People are moving here, visiting here and talking about our area. And soon Airtran Airways is going to be flying out of Charleston which will really help the area. We can't wait! One downside to the area has been high priced airfares but hopefully the arrival of Airtran will bring those prices down. We want you to visit!
