Did you know that Beachwalker park on Kiawah island it the 8th
best beach in the USA? It is considered
one of the new comers on the list of the top 10 beaches. It first made the list
in 2005, and has steadily progresses to its current position. If you remember in a previous post on the
Kiawah in the news, there was a statement about how there is a big controversy
brewing among the members about a new gym that they are planning on building on
6.5 acres along the Kiawah river. Well they mention this in the article, and if
they build it may drop in rankings. It seems that some of the new leadership on
the island needs another place to go so they don’t have to be with their
families. 6 did do a little looking around and found out that all these new
things that they are planning on building are for the residents, so they will
be able to enjoy them, while passing the increased cost on to us, the little
guys, who have to scrape and save all year long to be able to spend some
quality time as a family. All the while they are sitting back enjoying their
new private gym, third private pool, just laughing at us! I guess that is how the other half lives. After all it is only going to be a $150 a
month increase in their dues. As one member put it “ it is only $150 a month,
you would have to spend $300 to $400 a month for a gym membership elsewhere”
. Is this guy nuts! IF someone had that
much money to blow on a gym membership, they would have a gym in their own
house!
As we get closer, it is time to start to think about the
important things… What is the dress code
this year? Are we doing family shirts? What is the official color of our
bathing suits? What am I going to make
for dinner on Saturday night? What time is Mass? What are the ground rules for
this year? Are my chairs in working order? Who is going to clog the shitter
this year? What are we going to do with the socks? What cards games are we
going to learn? Can I use the ocean for a toilet? What week will the jellies be
there? Can I continue to put my trash on top of the dumpster? Can I figure out what side of the car to put
the gas in? What kind of wine and beer will we purchase? What time are we going
to take the family portrait? Will scooter still be the chair guy? Can we still bring our own beer into the
sanctuary bar? Will the family of turtle killers be there? Well stay tuned in the next several weeks we
will explore the answers to these and many more questions!
