Thanksgiving in Hilton Head with Betsy's Dad and Alison

For several weeks now I've been looking forward to spending Thanksgiving break in Hilton Head Island with Mark, Robert and my parents. We left on Tuesday night and spend the night in Knoxville. We continued our trip the next day and arrived at Hilton Head Island around dinner time. We stayed at the Marriott resort in the Sea Pines Resort on the island.  We had dinner with Dad and Alison at CQ's - a very nice seafood restaurant right on the harbor.  We stayed up late talking and getting reacquainted with each other.  After Dad and Alison went to bed, Robert, Mark and I went down to the hot tub and pool to relax and unwind.  It was so nice to be in Hilton Head.  The weather is amazingly warm - 70 degrees.  Perfect!!!

The next day, another perfect day, I went for a 5 mile run and Mark worked out at the facility. Robert slept in; fun!  I wanted to sleep in but couldn't sleep.  We all enjoyed corn hole and other games during the day before our Thanksgiving feast at 5 o'clock. It was a suit and tie occasion!  My dad made reservations for us at the Top Deck. We had a Thanksgiving feast while watching the sunset on the harbor of Hilton Head. Our dinner consisted of a delicious salad (Robert had seafood bisque), Turkey, dressing, mashed potatoes, green beans, and Pecan pie for dessert. We took a walk around the pier after dinner and then went back to the condo to talk about family history.

After my parents went to bed Mark, Robert and I enjoyed relaxing in the hot tub!  We need one of these at home (haha).

Robert, Mark and I decided to leave Saturday around 10:30 AM so that we could get a good start to our drive back home. It is about 11 Hour Drive, But it was worth it to spend time with my parents.
