Spending the Fourth of July on an island

I’ll be in South Carolina for Independence Day. It will be my first trip back since moving to Raleigh last year, so I’m jazzed to see old friends, spend some much needed time on the beach and hopefully get some golf in.

Here’s a picture of an enthusiastic family who attended last year’s Independence Day on Hilton Head Island (photo credit goes to my friend and former colleague Jay Karr).

On Hilton Head, most folks head to the famous 18th hole at Harbor Town to watch the fireworks. That’s probably where I’ll be tomorrow night.

In the mean time, I hope you all have some fun plans for the weekend. If you’re sticking around the Triangle, check out this list of local events or just plan to go to the Festival for the Eno in Durham. Durham blogger Steve has some pics of the festival set up and some other scenic spots from West Point on the Eno, where the festival is held.

If you know of any other events you think folks in the Triangle should check out, please post them below.

Be safe and have fun!!
