As you recall, we went to Hilton Head Island, SC. and Savannah, GA. for our summer vacation in late-July. Had such a fantastic time...minus some 'drama', which I'll share with you a little later. We got to Hilton Head on the afternoon of July 21st and checked into our condo in Palmetto Dunes...
The place was just as cute as it could be and absolutely spotless...big plus! Once we got all settled in, we grabbed some dinner, then we caught a trolley and walked around Harbour Town. Lots of pretty sights, expecially with the sun going down...
Boy, was it ever humid, though! Suffice it to say, we all needed showers when we got back to our condo! We made a pit stop on our way back at Piggly Wiggly for a few grocery items. I've never seen so many people in a grocery store in my life! It was packed to the gills!
On Sunday, we got up leisurely and headed for the beach around 1 PM. It was a short drive from our condo. We found a nice spot close to the ocean to stake our umbrella. We stayed for about 3 hours. The surf was fun to romp in as there were numerous waves crashing in. I got slammed completely off my feet more times than I could count...and Chris and the girls thought it was HILARIOUS! Glad I could entertain them!
It was so neat because you could reach down under the water and scoop up dozens of sandollars! I've never held a live one before and it was so interesting!
That night, we went to a local pizza pub for dinner called Paulie's Coal-Fired Pizza. I can honestly say it was the BEST pizza I've ever eaten, hand's down! Definitely worth every carb! Afterwards, we went to Shelter Cove and walked around the marina.
Days 1 and 2 of our vacation had come and gone all too quickly. Of course, the remainder of our vacation was bound to offer more adventures! Hope you'll come back to hear the "rest of the story"!

I definitely want to go there one day. I think I would enjoy Savannah.
That condo looks fabulous! I love the pictures of you and the girls.
Oh, what a lovely, lovely place. Think Hubby and I need to put it on our Bucket List for sure.
Your photos are lovely and I do look forward to hearing more.
I'm looking forward to the rest of the story!" April, your girls are beautiful! That photo with all three of you is a treasure.
I was in South Carolina the end of July too! Beaufort. We spent one day in Savannah. And I second the humidity! A couple of times, I thought my face was going to melt right off! Hot,Hot,Hot!
Im looking forward to hearing about your ghost adventure, so please dont forget to add that in to your recap, with pictures of any ghosts you saw... :-)
April- It looks absolutely dreamy! So funny that you were getting slammed by waves, though! You're such a good sport.;) Can't wait to hear about the drama. I'm intrigued.... Lori
After seeing your pictures, I'm seriously missing Hilton Head ... I am wondering if we should cancel our reservations for the Outer Banks and head to Hilton Head again. ;-) I can't wait to see the rest of your vacation!
Such Beautiful pictures April. Love the one of you three girls. The one of the lighthouse in the harbor and the sunset are gorgeous.

How fun! The condo looks darling, and the ocean so beautiful. I would love to vist there one day.
You were in my old stomping grounds!!! Savannah and Hilton Head are gorgeous spots! Tybee beach is great, except for the jellyfish. TONS of sand dollars!!!
Your condo is amazing!!! Sooo pretty! Hugs!
Your condo/house for the week looks wonderful! I would have loved to see live sand dollars. So cool! Gorgeous pictures!
We went to Hilton Head ten years ago (can't believe it's been that long) but it really freaked me out that the signs in Piggly Wiggly parking lot said "Please don't feed the gators". YIKES!
The condo is so pretty! Sounds like your first two days were really fun. I have never been to Hilton Head. Our only trip to Savannah was a long time ago and a very quick trip. We didn't do any sight seeing.
