Hilton Head

Chad and I decided we wanted to take a "just us" trip before we become a family of 4, and before I would be too huge to enjoy it. After debating for weeks, we finally decided on Hilton Head Island. It was the best decision. So, we left Addi with my sister and her family and ventured off for four days without our kid. We stayed at the Westin Resort which was right on the beach. It really was the most relaxing vacation we've been on in years. We didn't do much besides lay on the beach, read, sleep, and eat, but we did try to get out and enjoy the sites of the island. 


 This is the famous lighthouse on the island.

 This one's for you, Dad. Avid golf fans may recognize the lovely blazer.

 One of our favorite parts of the vacation was a dolphin tour. We spent two hours on a small boat with one other couple just searching for dolphins. It was something else. I don't think I have ever been that close to dolphins in their natural habitat. Coolest thing ever. 





 I was shocked at how playful and friendly some of the dolphins were. 

 We also got to see some of the most beautiful mansions as we were boating. This particular one would cost someone several million dollars. It was pretty incredible.

I guess we weren't completely childless. Baby Byron was about 18 weeks when this picture was taken.
