Hilton Head 2011

We spent the past week in Hilton Head! Ahhhh... so nice to be back! I grew up going to Hilton Head every year. Two years ago, we took S for the first time just before she turned two and we loved our trip. Last year, since C would have only been a few weeks old, we decided not to go. BUT, we made our way back this year and loved it just as much as we did two years ago. The memories we made as our first beach trip as a family of four will be ones that stay with me forever! We went out to yummy seafood restaurants, went to Shelter Cove and saw Shannon Tanner(S got up on stage and sang her ABCs for everyone!), spent an evening in Harbour Town, bought fresh seafood and got to see a shrimp boat come in and all of the loot they had, walked around Pickney Island which I may have done growing up but I don't remember it at all, went to the beach each day, spent many hours at the pool, went shell hunting(which since Hilton Head is a barrier island they do not have too many shells) and found a few sand dollars and starfish and saw some AWESOME waves as Hurricane Irene made her way through!

S is at a great age where she loved sitting on the beach playing in the sand and digging holes with Daddy and we didn't have to worry about her drowning in the ocean because we knew she wouldn't go past her ankles. She has gotten to be a really good swimmer so we didn't have to hold her the entire time at the pool and she could just swim around. So nice to have her be so easy...

Then there was C! OH.MY.GRACIOUS!! The boy was into everything! We were constantly chasing him around and couldn't take our eyes off of him for two seconds. He liked the sand okay after he got use to it but would have preferred to be sitting in the water letting the waves splash over him! He was exhausting and required constant attention, but that being said, we would do it all over again in a skinny minute

I can't wait for next year!!!
