Hilton Head

Some of my favorite things from our trip:

1. Samuel…watching everyone with him was so fun. On the last night, Olivia was saying goodbye and he just plopped his head on her shoulder…too cute!

2. Watching my boys enjoy the ocean…Caleb loved the sand, Jacob loved the surf.

3. Enjoying my family. Derek didn’t take his laptop…what a treat! And we had a good time spending time together. Derek would wake up early every morning and take one of the boys to the beach. And I got to take a fun bike ride with Jacob on the beach as well.

4. Savannah…I loved seeing the old houses and eating at Paula Deen’s restaurant. I can imagine myself living there a long, long time ago. 🙂

Now that’s some serious southern cooking!

5. Fourth of July…cooking out, fresh shrimp and swordfish, grilled corn, and fireworks right over our heads on the beach. It does not get better than that.

6. The Ocean…fine, soft sand/warm clear water. I have never enjoyed spending a lot of time in the ocean, until now. I loved being out in the water.

7. Family Pictures on the beach. I’ve always wanted these, and they turned out even better than expected! I can’t wait to get them.

8. FAMILY. I LOVE being a part of this family. I have two of the coolest guys around for brothers. I have a sister-in-law that is a gem. My mom and her husband are the neatest grandparents and so good to us. And we have so much fun together. Sure there were a few tense moments :). But all in all, I just truly enjoyed every minute of our time together…especially the game nights (Catch Phrase and Balderdash), the eating, and the time enjoying the beach and pool.
