Hilton Head Island and Savannah 2012-Pt. 4

I'm back, once again...thank you so much for your continued patience! I took Abby to the doc. yesterday and was never really told what she had.  Sounds like some sort of nasty virus because she gave her a steroid shot and put her on antibiotics.  She should be good to go to head back to school this morning. Fingers crossed!

OK...back to our trip!  Let's see, I believe we're at Day 5 now.  On Wed., we all got up and went to another local nature preserve.  Didn't see the first sign of wildlife, unless you count loads of fiddler crabs! Bummer!



Chris went golfing when we got back, so the girls and I headed to the local outlet mall and did a little school clothes shopping.  I've never really been one to find many bargains at those kinds of places, but I'm happy to report that we did pretty well with our savings!  Later that night, it was very low-key and we grilled out burgers at our condo.  We went for a walk at Coligny Beach (why didn't I bring my camera?!). Such a beautiful place for a stroll!

On Thurs. (Day 6) we spent a good part of the day romping on the beach. We had purchased a large tent to bring along with us for some shade and when we were all in the water, I turned around and noticed that out tent was flying away!  Good thing no one got impelled by it! Chris had to rush up on the shore and catch it, then stake it down real deep in the sand.  About that same time, Abby got whammed by a HUGE wave!

 

I about laughed myself silly! Of course, when it happened to me, it wasn't so funny. :)

That evening, we had an early dinner in Bluffton, SC. at the Bluffton Seafood Co. The grilled shrimp earned 2 thumbs up from me!  Good sweet iced tea, too!  We left there with tummies full and ready to head to Savannah for the next part of our adventure...a ghost tour!

Stay tuned for more!


P.S.  I have a question for y'all.  I just learned yesterday that I have used up all of my free 1 GB of storage space to be able to upload my pictures onto Blogger via Google.  So, in order for me to continue uploading my pictures, looks like I'm going to have to purchase a monthly plan for additional storage. Have any of you encountered this issue and, if so, what did you do to resolve it? I appreciate your input!

I had to buy the additional storage.

I'm going to Boston in September with some friends and we're doing a ghosts and graveyard tour there. I've been to Savannah but never done the ghost tour. Looks like y'all had a fun vacation.

Was that the Pinckney Wildlife Refuge? We love the Coligny Beach area. We stay further north, up in Shipyard Plantation, but we always walk down to Coligny Beach. I'm only using 3% of my storage space, so I guess I've got a ways to go before I have to pay for additional storage.

Hope Abby is feeling better. Dont you love when you dont really get an answer?

Yes - I had to purchase extra space as well. I think its only like $6 a year so it was easier for me to do that, then to start a whole new blog. But that's always an option - you just have to get a new email as well... see? too much trouble for me.

I pay for the storage. It kinda stinks but what can you do? I'm not going to start a new blog, and I'm not going to delete posts!

I bought a one-time-fee extra storage for my pictures. Not sure how I did that because it was a long time ago.

thanks for sharing your vacation pics ... takes me away - if just for a moment. :)

Wow, I wonder if this is a new thing that Google is doing?

Your vacation sounds great. This happened to me with the photo storage and I had read about an inexpensive, $5 a year, fee but couldn't find that anywhere. It was more like that much a month. Then someone told me if I join Google plus, there is no limit. So that's what I did and I have no problems with photos on my blog nor have I had to pay anything. Would be interested to hear what you find out.

Glad Abby is feeling better.

We had our big tent blow away at the beach one year and there were a lot of people on the beach. Luckily it was caught before it took anybody out!

Haven't encountered the blogger storage problem yet. Didn't even know that would happen. Guess I have something to look forward to, huh? What a pain.

That picture of Abby in the wave is priceless. What a great picture!

I know nothing about storage. Sorry.

Enjoyed the post April!
I haven't run into the photo limit yet, but I was wondering how long it might be until I do. Do you resize your photos?
