Sunburned, Sandy and Smiling!

We left Louisville early Saturday morning on vacation to Hilton Head, South Carolina. WE lived in SC almost 9 years ago and were excited to go back for some rest and relaxation. We drove all day and made it to Columbia, SC where we stayed the night. For dinner we ate at one of our old favorites, Sticky Fingers. It was just as good as I remember. We got up early and had breakfast with 2 of my Physical Therapy School classmates that I have not seen in 9 years. Chris and Wendy were both in my class. They are now married and have 2 very precious, well behaved boys. My kids had each gotten about 6 hours of sleep Saturday night, so I felt like I had the whiniest kids in the place. It was good to see old friends and catch up on life after kids.
We arrived at Hilton Head at lunch time.
Our friends Dave and Tracy fed us and then we all went to the beach for the rest of the day. We ate out at The Old Oyster Factory Sunday night and enjoyed the food very much. Josiah got sick next to our table right as everyone was finishing up and our waiter had to clean it up. I felt so bad for him that when we left I slipped him an extra $10 tip. Josiah was completely fine after that (wasn't sick before or after his one little episode). After eating Nathan caught crabs on the beach next to the restaurant and then chased Josiah with them. Josiah is very afraid of anything alive that he is not sure about.
Monday we went to the beach early and spent the morning swimming and playing in the tidal pools. After lunch, Greg sat on the balcony reading while Naomi took a nap and the rest of us went to the beach - again. We had so much fun. Before coming in for the evening we swam in the pool and Josiah did his swim-float-swim practicing without being asked. What a good end to a fun day.
After putting the kids to bed the adults played a slap-happy game of Scattergories.
