Mount Pleasant Magazine July/August 2024

13 www.ReadMPM.com | www.MountPleasantMagazine.com | www.MountPleasantPodcast.com Kerplunk! That’s the only sound I want to hear all summer. Whether it’s ice cubes sloshing around in my drink or a flawed swan dive into a deep blue abyss. I’m in a poolside state of mind. The only way to live life is like you’re on a permanent vacation. Afterall, we live where others choose to vacation. It’s no secret that this summer has been an absolute scorcher. As you’re reading this, I presume you and your family are searching for ways to have fun, stay cool and beat the heat. Good thing you picked up our Summer Edition because it provides the information you need to guide such plans. Listen up mom and dad: if your kids are out of school for the summer and slowly driving you clinically insane, then we recommend you flip through this issue. These pages hold the cure to their boredom. Check out the Guide to Summer section for endless options of indoor and outdoor activities (See Page 54). Don’t worry, there’s a curated summer bucket list for adults as well (See Page 50). After you cool down, let’s focus on upgrading your summer aesthetic. I’m not talking about a new pair of flip flops. I’m referring to the Coastal Dwellings section and more specifically pools and landscaping (See Page 61). A good place to start might be the pool builders and services directory (See Page 65). If you’re looking to make an even bigger splash at home, read up on kitchen and bath remodeling (See Page 66) or full home renovations (See Page 71). Whether you prefer the pool or the ocean, I think we all can agree that when the going gets hot and humid, only the coolest will thrive this summer. Make sure to hydrate early and often. Always reapply sunscreen. And above all, don’t forget to wear some stylish shades!
