Catching Up: Hilton Head, SC



Since the last post, we've done quite a bit. It's kind of overwhelming. The first week in October, we met my family in Hilton Head, South Carolina for a fun vacation on the beach for a week. We had such a great time and I had fun experiencing the south.

We got to stay at mom's timeshare and loved being ON the beach.

And surrounded by pools


We visited a lighthouse our first day and played


We also visited Fort Pulaski


We took a trip to Savannah, GA afterwards and had lunch (or a sampling of 3 desserts in my case) at Lady and Sons (Paula Deen's restaurant)



We took a walk on the riverfront of the Savannah River. We took a ferry down the river a ways and walked back, stopping at a couple candy shops along the way.

Hot Joe. I liked this picture.

Mom, Chris, Amy, Alli, and I went to this awesome furniture warehouse shop. It was amazing. It had furniture with all sorts of styles. Some were really neat pieces. Some looked like they belonged in mansions. It was very fun.

This is a sign that was hung in the warehouse. The south does things a little differently.

One day we went on a bike ride and we had a blast. We tried to ride our bikes on the beach but it was SO WINDY that it was super hard to pedal against the wind. It was a bad idea but funny memories.

On our last day we went miniature golfing at a pirate-themed golf course. It was very fun. Afterward we had some yummy ice cream.

And, of course, since my sister was there, we had her take some family pictures. THANK YOU, LAURA!!! We love the pics!



Here's one pic of Heidi that Chris took that I love.
