We went down ever summer when I was growing up and stayed in the Harbor Town plantation (actually across the street from the big course on the harbor). My family all played golf, and we weren't rich yet, but we got a few rounds on two courses in Sea Pines (and one or two rounds per week on the big course, which I never got to play). We'd always love going to Shuckers because on Wednesdays(?) they had all-you-can-eat crab legs.

My parents are always down there now and live in luxury but both were actually born into poverty and then my old man went to college on academic scholarship, was an accountant, became a partner, and then got rich, so not like he was born rich.

Really?  

That sucks. My parents have a house down there and I think my brother also has one now.
