We are so blessed to have a wonderful place to stay while we are at Hilton Head Island, SC. We stayed at the Marriott Resort and Spa in Palmetto Dunes. The view was wonderful to the winter-fested eyes. Having already looked at the weather report, we knew the beginning of the day was going to be cloudy with a chance of storms. Well, the storm came while we were sleeping, but the morning was chilly - so - we decided to spend that time wisely by eating breakfast out, exploring the island and shopping at the outlets. By the time we were done, the weather was wonderful and it was okay to hit the beach. Robert and Marissa seemed right at home. They found the hammocks, beach, sand, waves, pool - they left nothing unturned.

The beach was wonderful. I love it here! Their is a peace and a serenity that makes me feel relaxed and comfortable. The roll of the ocean waves rocks the soul and the sand of the beach gives to and fro as you walk. There doesn't seem to be a care in the world except for when it gets close to dinner time. I also love the colors and hues of the beach - the fresh green of the ocean grass against the stark contrast of the soft tan of the sand mixed into the surf that eventually turns into an enormous shade of deep blue.
The kids build sand castles and play in the waves while I play the role of photographer and memory maker. I love it. I love capturing their free spirited fun so they can look back and remember.

After an afternoon at the beach there was still time and energy for some fun in the pool before heading out for dinner. Just so you know, Devon decided to stay in the room to do homework. We all cleaned up and ate a delicious dinner at Outback. It kind-of upsets me that we are at the beach - I love seafood, but that non of my kids do… so we eat steak and potatoes instead. Hum…at least all the kids are happy with their meal.
After dinner we went down to the Harbor City to do some more shopping. The kids found a shoppe with the cutest and smallest turtles they'd ever seen. Marissa is holding one right now. A very busy day makes for very tired kids at night. Sweet dreams!
