Hilton Head

After the wedding, we were off to Hilton Head Island. On the way, we heard on the radio that the water temp was in the 80's (not bad) and the waves could reach up to 2 feet. Ooooo.. not what we are used to that's for sure!
We had a great location! Shopping, food, movies all right across the street and then down a block was the beach.

This was a little too close for me. A river behind the building to the side of us.

No fences, just the grassy bank. Bill and the girls were standing in that grass right in front of this thing. One night we walked to Bill and Chris' place down the street, only to find out the next morning a man staying in the same place, spotted the alligator in the street where we had been. Later in the week we spotted 2 babies. Yikes!!

Fun at the beach. Yes, that is Kyle and Ashley with us. They were staying about 4 miles away and decided to join us at the beach a few days.

Notice the sunburn. Ouch!!

The girls didn't seem to have any trouble adapting to this ocean.

Bill on the other hand.... BORED! After the first day, he said that he was done at the beach. No waves to ride, no stunt kites, and no frisbees. Notice the rule on the guard chair, Don't swim out too far. Before long, the lifeguard was blowing her whistle. Yes, it was Bill, out too far.

This is how we stayed cool each day. It was too hot up on the beach, so we would bring the chairs down to the water.

On Tuesday, we all went to Baca and Padaddy's RV for a birthday cook out. Kyle turned 22 while we were there.

Ashley's grandpa, uncle, aunt and cousin were also on the island and joined us.

Had to get matching shirts for everyone. Unfortunately, Jenni, Rod and Serena were not able to make the trip.

Days filled with fun on the beach.....

with eating, shopping and beautiful sunsets to enjoy in the evenings.

All good things must come to an end. Back on the plane to head home to a welcome surprise, 70 degree temperature! Nice!!
