Hilton Head, S.C.

We drove 11 1/2 hrs. to Hilton Head, S.C. John Denver may or may not have been played the whole way thru West Virginia. (Aidan loves him and has memorized most of the songs we have on the ipod.)
Wyatt traveled great. I love portable DVD players, especially when each boy had his own...with headphones. aaaahhhh the peace and quiet.

Nate's boss, Dr. Burns, owns a time share down there and wasn't able to use it this year so he offered it to us instead. The beach was practically empty, the sand was white and soft, the water was like a bath, and the temp. stayed between 72 and 80 degrees. Basically, it was perfect.

Nate and the kids played tennis everyday, we swam in the pool, played at the beach, ate out every night, and just r-e-l-a-x-e-d. No soccer practices or games. No piano lessons. No church activities. It was just what our hectic family needed.



Wyatt was really good and happy. Probably because he was able to take naps all day.
We went to the top of a lighthouse which housed a museum inside detailing the history of the island.
Camden went with Nathan early one morning to watch the sunrise. Isn't he handsome?
We went to the beach almost every day. Playing soccer was a favorite past time when the tide was low.
Our car was pretty packed. Aidan was waaaayyy in the back sandwiched between the window and luggage.

Oh I love beach trips more than anything. We miss you around here! Aerobics hasn't been the same without you.

What!!!! You came to South Carolina and didn't stop to see us in North Carolina?!! Okay, so we didn't get to NC until Oct. 4th so maybe you were here before us. You know we will get together sometime before we leave the East coast!!
