Hilton Head Island Week!

A huge thanks to Nonni and Papa for another week of fun and family bonding in Hilton Head Island!  2017 marks the 5th consecutive year we have spent the week of 4th of July in HHI with my parents and my sister’s family.  We all cherish this time with each other, at one of our favorite vacation spots no less.  Every day life can seem so busy and trips to visit each other have gotten harder and harder to fit in to our kids’ overscheduled lives, so this concentrated week together with everyone on vacation is pure gold. 

We try to fit in a few new activities each year—this year we went to see a super-fun community theater production of Mamma Mia and also biked out of Sea Pines to Duck Donuts—but for the most part each wonderful day consisted of beach time, bike rides, and down time (games, puzzles, crafts, and movies)…plus lots of great food and great cocktails!  One of my favorite weeks of the year!
