Hilton Head!!!














We just got home from an absolutely wonderful trip to the beach!!


We went to Hilton Head, and stayed in Sea Pines (courtesy of the kindest boss ever, Rob Sayer!) :) We had a blast. We got there and went straight to the beach where Aubrey entertained herself for hours just playing in the waves and digging in the sand and making friends all along the way! Aubrey and Daddy spent some time making a sand castle which they named their "Meatball Castle".........it was quite a hit with another little beachgoer who then decided it would be fun to destroy it with his dumptruck! Aubrey got into it too though and they both had just as much fun destroying it as building it I think!


We had dinner in Harbour Town and enjoyed the view of the ocean while chowing down on some yummy shrimp and seafood!


Our next day was of course spent at the beach.........all day........and what a beautiful day it was! We had perfect weather the whole time. We ate at Red Fish that night (our favorite!) while Aubrey slept through the entire meal in her stroller........all that fun in the sun wears you out!


We continued our pattern of beaching it, eating and falling asleep early and enjoyed every minute! Our last night we went back to Harbor Town to hang out and eat ice cream and listen to a man by the name of Gregg Russell, who sings songs for the whole family under the big oak tree. All the kids gather up front to hear him and sing along and if they are really lucky he chooses about 5 kids to come up and sing for everyone. (About 200 people or so out there listening!) Well........he picked little Miss Aubrey! She raised her hand and went right up there and did a smashing rendition of "Somewhere Over the Rainbow"........it was so precious. Her first performance! She did her mother proud.


So all in all, we had a perfect time.


Here are a few favorite pictures!! And also the video of Aubrey's performance......

:) Enjoy!

Hearing about your trip to Hilton Head makes me want to go back. We went to some of the same places you did, so it was fun to read about your vacation. Aubrey is just darling! Hope you are all doing well!

I love Hilton Head. I'm so glad to hear that they are still having family fun under the tree! I can't believe they picked Aubrey too! I'm so glad you got that on camera. See you Thursday.
