This beach trip was the best! Sam and I usually make quick trips to the beach and only have 1 or 2 days to enjoy it. However, we spent 5 days at the beach this time! Somebody write that down...I think it's a record for us!
We went to the best beach in America - Hilton Head Island, South Carolina. We stayed in an ocean view condo right on the beach! We loved spending time on our balcony watching the waves roll in and watching the sunrise (one morning). My sister-in-law, Anna, her husband Elliot, and their beautiful daughter, Maylin, joined us for a couple of nights. We always love spending time with them and Michael really enjoys playing with Maylin. They are getting so close in size now, so it's more fun for the both of them!
Each morning, Sam would go out early to set up our tailgating tent and claim our spot on the beach. Then, we would all head out around 10:00 to spend a couple of hours in the sunshine! The tent provides GREAT shade for the kids and for us if we need a break from the sun. Michael did so good playing with his sand buckets under the tent, so we didn't have to worry about him getting sunburned. But, he did have his SPF 50 on, just in case! :)
We would head in around lunch time to grab a bite to eat and let Michael take his nap. We kept our tent set up so that we could go back out to the beach in the afternoon for some more time with the sun and sand!
Each night, we would go out for dinner. There's also a really fun place called Harbor Town that we like to visit. We enjoy looking at all the yachts and dreaming about owning one. Ha! There's also live music and really cute shops to look at!
The Borgs just love the beach! We're already looking for some free days in our schedule to maybe go down there again (that would be one of those quick trips)! Can you believe that summer is coming to an end? We have less than 2 weeks before school starts back up again! Crazy!
Ok....here's our trip in pictures! There are a lot of pictures in this post, but I had such a hard time narrowing it down to just these!
