Summer is here, and it’s a wonderful time to be in South Carolina! Though our state is known for its delightful weather year-round, the abundance of recreational opportunities that accompany the warm temperatures and long daylight hours of summer make this an especially exciting time of year. ‘Tis the season of backyard barbeques, poolside basking, and outdoor festivals, and it’s a prime time to enjoy South Carolina’s many natural wonders!
The diverse landscape of South Carolina lends to a broad variety of opportunities for outdoor leisure, from hiking in the Blue Ridge Mountains to surfing in the Atlantic. Here in Columbia, we’re blessed to have Lake Murray, Congaree National Park, and a number of rivers, trails, and state parks right outside our doorsteps. Better yet, living in the heart of the state means we are in an optimal location to take advantage of all that South Carolina has to offer. This is especially important when temperatures in the capital city live up to their “Famously Hot” reputation—nothing beats the heat like a day trip to the breezy coast or a shaded trail in the Foothills!
I know first-hand that when we get caught up in the busyness of our day-to-day lives, we easily forget to appreciate what’s happening around us. This summer, my goal is to set aside time to slow down and enjoy the beautiful places and smiling faces in our wonderful state, and I encourage you to do the same! We’re here for the people of South Carolina!
