Vacation in Hilton Head, SC

We arrived in Hilton Head in the (cold) pouring rain. Daddy and Grandpa actually had to drive quite a long time in the rain and it did not let up when we arrived at the Marriott Surfwatch “villas” (that is what they call the place we stay in). We had to hang out by the front desk for a bit while our room was getting ready. Once it was, we unpacked what seemed to be enough food for an army, all of our bags and my toys. Mommy and Nana went out for a few grocery items (I do not understand why we needed any more food!) and Grandma made pasta for dinner. You see, we come to this vacation prepared to eat in. For those of you who know Mommy can imagine that we, of course, have a spreadsheet with all of the food (and clothing and such) we should bring each year and Mommy, Nana and Grandma split up the list and all contribute for the meals. Daddy noted that when Mommy created the list last year she was still nursing and was not drinking wine with Daddy, so she did not factor that into the calculations on alcohol needs for the week. We will promptly rectify this situation on the spreadsheet for next year’s trip (which of course we are already thinking about).

After dinner we went to the pool. Don’t worry, it was an indoor pool and the water felt as warm as my bath. I have a new floater so I can splash and kick by myself in the pool. Don’t worry, Mommy and Daddy went in with me and we all splashed and played and talked to the other kids who were playing too, even though it was rainy and cold outside.

The next morning I woke up very early, so Daddy and I went for a walk on the beach. Boy it was cold and the tide was “high” (no, not the song, but really, it was high), so it was a short walk. We came out later in the day when it was warmer. I got to ride in my backpack while Mommy and Daddy walked the beach like we did last year. It was fun to be by the ocean again.
