Back in the fall, after realizing this pandemic was not going anywhere and instead was worsening, Alex and I decided to rent a house for a few weeks in January to get respite from a dark and cold winter. We wanted a location in which we could drive, had warmer weather, and outdoor space. After considering several options, we chose Kiawah Island, South Carolina. Kiawah is 40-minutes south of Charleston and an area we have visited in the past and are familiar with.
