Memorial Weekend

We went to Hilton Head SC over Memorial Weekend.  We fell for a timeshare ploy.  "Come stay, all you have to do is attend our 30 minute sales pitch"  We THOUHGT we were going to be staying at the timeshare, turns out we would have been better off staying at a motel 6:)  That being said,  the island was Amazing and we would have never gone otherwise. 

 This is our favorite beach yet!  The board walk down to the sand and then a sand mat down to the tide.  Easiest access and clean up, which is a big deal with all our dirty feet and stuff that goes with them.
It was a five hour drive, so we got there just after the sun went down

It was also my Birthday!  
We couldn't keep Eli out of the water, so down to his Birds he went 

Mostly just Lots of Fun in the Sun!


 Dolphin watching boat.  
This is what we got...from 50 yards away. Whoot whoot! 
We are actually claiming to have swam with them:)  
The girls initially thought it was a shark and they were Gone!!  
 A lot of cheesy poses I know, the kids tried to be good sports.  

At this point we are doing what we can to avoid going back to the rooms.  This is the backside of the island, facing west.  If I knew what I was doing I would have gotten some cool sunset pics, these will have to suffice.


  
We are missing family a Ton!  
I am glad for the opportunities that we have to make memories with my sweet little family here.
Sweet little trip and a Great Birthday!

You are in such a beautiful part of the country! So great you are taking the opportunity to get around--even with a crappy time share thing. Hilton Head looks amazing and fun. You are making some great family memories for sure.
Didn't see the earlier post about Riley and band! I played the flute too. Good for her.

Did you manage not to buy a timeshare after the 30 min spiel?
Oy those things!!

Looks like a beautiful place, and I too think it is great all the things you do with your family.

Looking forward to seeing you in a few weeks in Idaho though!!

Cute kids are growing too fast!

Oh those 30 minute spiels!! Looks like a super nice beach. And a walkway?! Sweet. I have read and heard about that area. it looks beautiful.

I don't think those are cheesy photos. If you don't huddle em together once in awhile you will never get any good shots, and they are all so dang cute you have no worries.

Happy birthday! Looks like it was a fun outing.

So many fun things to do back there! If there is a beach involved...it usually doesn't matter what else falls through...looks like a nice time. You take great pictures!
