Hilton Head

We're back from an absolutely wonderful trip to Hilton Head, SC. We love it down there!! SO family friendly. I first visited Hilton Head when Andrew was living and working there as a waiter one summer. We were newly dating. So fun to return there together, now with our son! We basically had a week of beach, pool, eating, drinking, live music, dancing (mostly Connor), bike rides, alligator watching, hanging out on the deck and watching the craziest of thunderstorms, trips to the playgrounds, etc. An added perk- family friends of our friend Alexa live down there year round so we even had a babysitter twice so that Andrew and I could have two great date nights- thanks again Alexa!! All in all, a great week. Can't wait to go back.
We had some family photos taken on the beach. Here were some proofs.

And then some of our own:
Our mode of transportation for the week.

So excited to hit the beach!

You guys coming or what?!

Loved the ocean this year!!

Beach bum.

Connor dancing to some live music at the Salty Dog.

It cracks me up to watch Connor eat an ice cream cone. He literally snorts it.

Too much dancing and ice cream.

Connor loved visiting the horses.

Connor definitely got very used to having Andrew around all day every day for more than a week straight. Andrew quickly became the favored parent. Connor wanted to sit next to Andrew on the plane, on the couch, in restaurants, be the one to carry him, etc. When he would wake in the morning and after naps his first call became "Dada? Dada?" And even though I have always been the one he wants to put him to bed at night, guess what- now he wants Dada to do it. It's very cute but needless to say it was a rude awakening for Connor when Andrew had to return to work on Monday! More from the Connor/Andrew files...

Checking morning emails.

Andrew making Puppy talk.

Watching our guilty pleasure- So You Think You Can Dance. Connor claps along to the dances.



Oh and apparently I was there too. The 2 pics of me from vacation:


Good times!!
