Spring Break at Hilton Head - Day 3 & 4

Ah, more days at the beach - I'm loving it.  FRIDAY:
Our day starts with breakfast from Panera at the pool side while waiting for a phone call from Jessica.  Jessica's group is going back to KY today, so she is joining us for another day of the beach.  She finally arrives around 10:45 (should have been 10:00).  The sun is intense!  Marissa and I are loving the day even more with our virgin strawberry daquari's.  Cool and YUMMY!!  Marissa is wearing a shirt because she got too much sun on Tuesday.  Today, is perfect.  The pool feels wonderful, the sand is comfortable, fun waves, and everyone is together (except Mark - he's in Oregon.)



 Poolside!

Jessica finally arrives:  poolside with Robert and Marissa

At the beach!

Marissa 14, Jessica 18, Betsy (old).  I posted this picture on FB and someone said we look like sisters - yippee!  We had so much fun playing in the sand and waves.  

Jessica wanted to spend as much time as she could with everyone.  Even though she had a great time with her friends, she missed us, and we missed her.  It will be hard to not have her around next year…but we aren't thinking about that yet.

 Jessica took Robert to the waves.  Then Marissa and so on.  Let the fun continue!

too bad Robert was just a second behind the girls

Sisters and best friends


What happened to their feet?



Time to head back home!

Time was up - we need to head home.  We decided to leave the beach at 12:30 and hit the road by 1:00.  Everyone had already packed up in the morning so all we needed were showers and to check out.  What a long ride we have in front of us.  The mapquest on my phone says 11 hours.  YIKES!  We get off to a slow start - bathroom breaks, lunch breaks, stop after stop.  YIKES.  Then we hit the Appalachian mountains - that slows us down more.  As far behind as we seem, we get into Louisville at 12:22 am.  Only 22 minutes behind schedule.  I'm exhausted but glad to be home.
