This weekend we were finally able to get away as a family! We left Wednesday morning after hitting the gym and headed for our happy place, Hilton Head. Although the weather was horrible on the way down, with pouring rain and storms, we held out hope that it would pass and be a beautiful weekend. After checking in we decided that we needed to head to the grocery store for milk, so Piggly Wiggly it was! The rain was still pouring down so fast that it flooded the entire shopping area. We were walking and literally kept losing our flip flops as the water was up to our calves!
BUT, the next day was beautiful! We hit the beach bright and early and enjoyed several hours of fun in the sun. Of course the kids (Dave included) began digging a super big hole and enjoyed playing it in all day. After many, many hours in the sand we packed things up and got all cleaned up to head to dinner.
We headed to Sea Pines and enjoyed a nice dinner out, along with some window shopping.
Friday was another beautiful beach day! Again, the kids were back to hole digging and I enjoyed reading my book in the comfort of the shade. :)
Preston was FINALLY able to catch a small fish with his net, which was super exciting!
After another long, restful, fun day on the beach we took showers and enjoyed dinner in the house. We all then went for a bike ride and found this super cool tree.
And of course, as a reward (bribe) for going on a bike ride we enjoyed the most amazing ice-cream! My favorite was trash can, but cookie monster and super man were also big hits with the family. I think Preston wore as much as he ate, but it was yummy!
Saturday came all to quickly, as it was time to head home. We enjoyed a bike ride before packing up to leave pretty early. The kids had to be back for dress rehearsal at church so there was no time to waste! What a fun way to enjoy the last few days of summer together as a family in our favorite place.
