HHI Week: July 4

Our 4th of July each year on Sea Pines is usually spent like most of our days in HHI, we take a morning bike ride, maybe it's our day to hit up the ice cream shop and Salty Dog store at South Beach (usually a good incentive to get the kids on a long bike ride), head to the beach by 1pm to catch the military plane flyovers, and then we stay out on the beach well until the early evening.  Some downtime at the house includes burgers, hot dogs, and watermelon and the hot dog eating contest aired on ESPN every 4th.  We cap our night off back out on the beach by dark (with all of the kids donning light bracelets and necklaces to ease our search efforts later) to watch some fireworks up and down the beach and across the water off of Tybee Island.  This is truly the best way to enjoy a crowd-free and relaxing 4th of July and still get to see some fireworks.
