Vacation!

It had been almost ten years since our family was on a vacation for more than three days. Over the ten years we built a house and my husband also became self employed. Those two things don't leave much time for vacations! So we were so happy to have the opportunity to go on a trip for a week to Hilton Head Island, SC and Savannah, GA!

We had a great time at a beautiful resort and we really cherished the family time we had together.

We took a trolley through Savannah which showed all the sections of this beautiful city and we were able to get off at the stops and walk around.

There were markets on River Street and we actually went back by ferry to visit them.

Caitlin loved the pools at the Westin and Hampton Lake and we spent time riding in the golf carts, mini golfing and eating lots of great food!

 We ate at some cool restaurants! One was called the Crazy Crab and Caitlin had a huge pot of crab legs. Her favorite!

It was a great trip but I think my favorite night was when we visited a friend who lives there and he and his wife made us a traditional South Carolina shrimp boil! YUMMY!!!

Our friend and Dan and his wife Sandy have a great home with a dock in their yard. Dan took us out on his boat. No gators though--it was salt water!

My son is like his Dad and really loved when they went kayaking. What a great trip.  My husband has traveled down to South Carolina several times now for business and he was right. It's beautiful!

Home now and ready to take on our front walkway project and distribute the 8 yards of mulch we bought for the property. Plus we have another chicken coop to build with a run. Flowers and veggie garden to plant.....Time to get back to our lives!
