Our Hilton Head Vacation

As some of you know we started out on a mission to surprise our good friends Joe and Greta Rhyne. I had been looking on-line for a "differ" kind of place to vacate this year. I actually book two other condos in AL, and FL. I pictured us walking out the door ... riding bikes in the plantations, seeing Big AL the gator, the Charlie Ride to Harbor Town...yada, yada on and on. I then realized that there is a reason that we have vacationed at HH for the last 8 yrs. We feel we are going home, in a odd sort of way. We thought since our friends thought we were in FL, we would surprise them. I have a very hard time keeping surprises to myself, especially when it makes a person happy. But I did keep the secret, and what a surprise. We all came early and stayed in hotels for a couple nights before we could ck in to our condos, so we went to their hotel, and caught Joe and Kirsten getting out of their car. They looked like they saw ghost. It was so oo fun. We hung out, met for lunch the next day, then the girls all went shopping. Today is Wednesday. We are having a wonderful time. The weather has been beautiful. I just love vacation. lol-who doesn't!! David was invited to see the Port of Savannah with his friends Joe, Jay Josh and Joshua. After riding a telephone booth size elevator, they began their tour 15 stories high on a crane which unloads the ships. While up there, they viewed Americas largest single port from a long two foot wide cat walk and small hand rails. After coming down, they saw the rest of it by van. David enjoyed and thanks his friend Jay for arranging the trip. We have swam, ridden bikes to our traditional bakery, ate wonderful food, of course hours relaxing at the beach, and just great quality family time with family and friends. Our week isn't over yet, I may post more later. If any of you are my FB friends, I was hacked and a horrible virus took over, so I am off FB for now. I still would love to hear from ya'll. Have a Fun, Safe, Sweet Summer!!
