First Vacation

GnG, Your first vacation was to Hilton Head Island in South Carolina. Hilton Head is a really nice place, but the drive was a little too long for you. We left Maryland at 6:30am on Wednesday 8/24 and arrived at our final destination at approximately 9pm that night. It was a long day but you two were troopers, you slept, looked through the window and played a little. We made 3 stops, first in Fredericksburg to meet the Valentines(my good friend from college, her husband and their two kids, Bryce and Bayleigh) then again in Emporia for your breakfast break then at the South of the Border for lunch. Occasionally I fed you in the car so we wouldn't have to stop too often. We stayed in a nice 2 bedroom apartment style time share condo, it was nice.

On Thursday we went to Savannah Georgia. We walked around downtown and along the waterfront, we then had dinner at Paula Deen's restaurant. This was the very first time you sat in a booster seat and you actually ate some of mommy and daddy's food. You both LOVED the Lima beans and the mac and cheese. You had a great time and daddy and I loved watching you eat at the table like big kids.

On Friday we went to the mall to find you swim suits for the beach and pool, that took a lot of time since most stores are now in their fall season, but we got lucky to find two great bathing suits for $3.99 each at the Carters store. After that we hit the beach and then the pool. You both put your feet in the water, but the pediatrician advised us to not immerse you in Ocean water. Below are several pics from the beach.

We left first thing Saturday morning at 5am to beat the traffic rush and travel while you slept, but this return trip home took all day, we only stopped twice and got home at 8pm that night....whew...next time we are going to Ocean City, MD.
