Our Wonderful Beach Vacation

Our vacation this year was to our very favorite place, Hilton Head Island, South Carolina. It feels like going home for us. We've been going there the last six years. We love the "Low Country" as the natives call it. Hilton Head has such charm being in a southern state. You can see the beautiful sea pine trees with the moss hanging down, tropical palm trees and such beautiful flowers. We love taking long bike rides that end up at the icecream shoppe,or the Island bakery, walks on the beach, and eating the most delicious seafood. This year David and Emily went on very early shell searching walks on the beach {at around 5:00 or 6:00am}. Emy searched for the perfect shells. We enjoyed our vacation with Brian and Angela, Sydnee and Jack.{David's brother and family} also our friends from Georgia the Rhynes and Neals. It was neat to go on the beach and see someone you know from home. Our kids also loved playing with their friends. One of the highlights of the week was when we rode the Trolley Car over to Harbor Town. There awaits The Crazy Crab Restaurant with the most delicious hushpuppies, and the famous Greg Russell singing-underneath the old oak tree next to the harbor...a favorite with kids and adults. One day while swimming in the ocean, Emily tells me she saw shark fins, soon the life guard sees the shark and the ocean is cleared. That was pretty scary!! Thru the years, we have gotten used to seeing Big AL the gator and the unlimited sea gulls. As always, time flies by when your having fun and Saturday rolls around before you know and it is time to check out. We added an extra day enjoying Savannah, Georgia. We enjoyed a wonderful lunch from Paula Dean's Restaurant "The Lady & Sons". The food was scrumptious!!! It was like eating @ my dear mothers table. We didn't have reservations, and it was so booked up so we did the next best thing we took our food to the beautiful park next door. Have a good summer and we hope you will enjoy your vacation!
