Beach Life & Salty Dog

17.4.12

I hope you enjoyed my post yesterday!  Today I wanted to share more photos from my trip to Hilton Head Island.  As I said yesterday, most mornings were spent walking on the beach.  It was fun to see all of the dogs playing in the waves and the toddlers digging sand castles.  One morning while I was walking with my brother, sister, and mom I ran into my college friend Brooke.  We knew we were both on the island and we were planning on meeting up but it was such a nice a surprise to see her.

The next morning I walked down to the beach to Brooke’s resort to meet her for breakfast and I was able to to snap some pictures of the beach before it filled up with people.  These blue beach chairs were lined up in  along the beach in front of each plantation, you could rent them for a day or the entire week.

I played around with this photo a little bit to give it more of a vintage look…

This yellow cottage is at the entrance of Brooke’s resort, isn’t it cute?  I love the color! From the deck you can see the ocean and a little inland waterway with a fountain.

Breakfast with Brooke was great, we chatted and chatted and before we knew it we realized we had been sitting at our table for 4 hours!  She had to get back to her family and so did I so I headed back down the beach.  On my way back to the resort I this friendly blue heron was showing off for a crowd at the beach.

This is the view from the condo we rented.  We were close to the pool and the beach which was convenient.

There was a resort next door to the condo that we could walk to for lunch.  We spent many afternoons sipping frozen drinks and enjoying the sun.  Here is a picture of my brother Chris at lunch one day…

The outdoor restaurant had a variety of healthy lunch options which was surprising, most of those spots only serve hot dogs and burgers.  This was my lunch one day…

A trip to the south is not complete without a visit to The Salty Dog Cafe.  We stopped in for t-shirts but didn’t stay for dinner.  (Last time we went there as kids everyone got sick, bad memories!)

It’s been years since I have played putt-putt and my husband will be jealous that I went without him.  We decided it would be fun to hit the greens at Pirate’s Island.  I’m pretty sure it hasn’t changed since my last trip there sometime in the 1990s.  Here are some action shots…
Trying to figure out my next move…
Drawing for teams!  We decided to draw names after the game for a random result.  My mom, dad, and brother Chris ended up winning so the rest of us had to buy them ice cream.
Sorry if these vacation posts are boring but it is nice share more personal details of my life from time to time.  Tomorrow I am going to share photos from my afternoon in Savannah so please stop by!
