Weekend get-a-ways are just what every one needs once in awhile...
We took off for Hilton Head last weekend with-
our grass knee high(almost)
our landscaping part way done
and many other projects that are begging to be done.....
But we bravely ignored them all and headed away for a weekend of sun and fun family time.
We got the sun and fun and... guess what?
The grass waited for us..
the landscaping decided to wait for us too...
And the projects said "its ok, we will try to hang on a little longer"
What I'm trying to say is... Everyone needs a little time away every once in awhile. Some good old fashioned, hang out with your family, fun getaway time.
But the problem today is we always have all of these excuses.
A big one is money..
Second big one is time..
Think those are pretty much the main ones.
Sometimes we need to compromise, people.
Like say, we originally wanted to head to Fla.. For 4 days.
Money was looking kinda bleakish and time wasn't looking any better.
So we decided on Hilton Head (closer) and only 2 days (cheaper and saves time)
And we still had an enjoyable time!!
Enough on that rant.. Want to see pics from our time? :) I can see some grandmothers raising their hands!!:)
We rented bikes.. This island is great for biking.. trails all over it or you can bike along the beach.. The kids sat in the back there so cute, like.. They loved every minute of it.. or should i say every hour of it.?
Notice the crazy northerners running around in the water..:) It had to be COLD!!
Carter was soooo excited about going to the beach..
Brooklyn wasn't quite as sure at first... but then she did get into it and was constantly on the move from there on out... thinking that everyone at the beach was one big happy family.. not afraid to "talk" to anybody or invade their personal space...:)
There were Jelly fish all over. Carter was quite intrigued with them.. Asking all kinds of questions, etc. The next day We heard him telling Brooklyn.
"Those are Fish Jelly's.. They are kinda like jelly, but they are not yummy!" :)
Anybody want some Ice Cream?
Some of the coolest trees ever...
If your heart swells up real big for this picture its OK.. mine did too:)
Well, its Monday here... and time to get back to real life.........
Oh and if you decide to go ahead and take that little family get-a-way..
Please decide also to ask someone to take a family picture of you all..
If you decide not to you might wish you did it later.....
Here is one last picture(of our motel).. And proof that i was on the trip as well....

How Fun. I didn't know y'all were at HH last wk end. I should have asked I guess. :) So, i'm curious, was your motel room a 2 story room or was someone hanging from the ceiling taking this picture. :)
