2010 Hilton Head Vacation

So we got our annual Hilton Head, SC beach vacation in this year, even if it was a little late. In fact, the weather and the crowds were so much better in September than in our usual July, that we're thinking of claiming September as our future beach month!

JD and I flew down to Atlanta on Saturday morning where we met Mom and Dad at the airport. After meeting up with Michael at a Starbucks, we caravaned the 5 hours to the island. We spent half of each day on the beach, with the baby joining us the first and last days. The second day, JD and I took turns staying at the condo with him so that he could have a break from the sun and sand. When he was on the beach, he stayed in his own little tent where he could play out of the elements.

The family really enjoyed spending time with the baby. It had been 2 months since they had seen him, half of his lifetime already!

Michael enjoyed the condo where he had a mirrored wall to see himself in.

A great family, a great vacation.

Too bad JD got speared by Poisidon.

And then Michael took over his body.

Of course, we enjoyed lots of seafood at our favorite restaurants!

We left Wednesday morning to drive back to Atlanta where we got to have dinner with the Ponds and to celebrate Lindsey's birthday. That night, we flew back to Normal. Michael did really well on both flights, even when we were delayed on the runway in Atlanta for maintaince issues (of course!). Now, back to work. I need to graduate one day.
