Wow, thanks Julia for the heads up. And thank you all who visited and left comments. This really means a lot to me.
Thank you also to the approvers for the nod.
It was a great B-day trip - clear breezy weather and breathtaking location. The beach is a natural beauty accessed by boat and part of the St. Andrews State Park. I highly recommend a trip to the island if you are ever in the vicinity.
