Great Weather & Great Company 
The weather was simply spectacular and allowed everyone to enjoy a variety of family friendly outdoor activities on Saturday. A few early birds started their day with a complimentary beach body workout .  Others enjoyed a lazy morning followed by a catered brunch from Carlton’s. The Spinnakers Kids Club offered youngsters the opportunity to try their hand at beach crafts and outdoor activities on the lawn.  Around noon, chefs prepared a low country boil and barbeque luncheon where owners and guests dined poolside and enjoyed more live music.  Saturday night’s activities featured a poolside family movie and popcorn for Spinnakers Kids Camp attendees. 
 
 What a Way to Start the Summer
The event offered owners and guests the opportunity to relax and enjoy the pleasures of the Crystal Coast in a fun and festive atmosphere.   The weekend came to a close on Sunday with a wonderful patio brunch. What a great beginning to another perfect Grande Villas summer.
