March! What with moving twice in the first two months of the year, March came pretty quickly! According to my photos from March, a few too many trips to Burney’s Bakery for their incredible croissants were made this month!

Echo became the guardian of the stairs for a while….until he fell down them, then he was too afraid to lay that close!
Of course, he still got plenty of beach time! Off-leash season only lasts through mid-March, so we took advantage of every day that we could! 
One of the most exciting things to happen in March was that my grandparents came to visit! Echo was pretty happy to see Papaw!
And so was Marley!
Also in March, we started one of my favorite island traditions. Turtle Island, one of the local restaurants, does a Steam Night every Wednesday. They have great prices on oysters, clams, crab legs, and wings! We’ve started going every week…and of course, doing during oyster season is my favorite!

Of course….we still made it to Kai-Joe’s at least once a week. You just can’t beat their shrimp tacos with pineapple salsa.

My dad and I decided to take a Boating Skills and Seamanship course offered by the USCG Auxillary. We started in March and finished with our certificates in April!

Of course, just because off leash season was over after the first couple of weeks didn’t mean that the dogs didn’t get beach trips anymore.

Right before oyster season ended, we decided to try our hand at steaming and roasting oysters at home. They were so good and so easy!

The end of March brought my Mom’s birthday. We celebrated at Joseph’s Bistro and it was delicious!
happy birthday, mom!
