First Day of School

We made the most of summer, but it’s back to school time! :)  Jack is starting 5th grade, his last year of elementary school, and Ella is entering 7th grade. 

Instagrammin’ in July

July is the heart of our summer vacation.  I think we spent most of the month on the beach.

St. Augustine Beach

We closed out July with some fun beach time at Nana and PopPop’s beautiful home in St. Augustine Beach.  It was a fun visit with Aunt Jacqui and Uncle Randy, Aunt Chrissy and Uncle Chris, and their crews, too. 

HHI Week

Another Hilton Head Island week in the books!  Thanks, Nonni and Papa, for another amazing week! 

HHI Week: July 8

More biking, beach, and family time—we always have the best time together on Hilton Head Island!

HHI Week: July 6

Midweek, we rented a pontoon boat to explore Calibougue Sound on our own for the first time.  My favorite part of the day was docking on Daufuskie Island and enjoying a few beers and a picnic lunch there.  The kids also enjoyed running around barefoot and playing on the tire swings and with the tetherball like the true southerners they are. 

HHI Week: July 5

Bike riding and beach—our two favorite things to do in Hilton Head…Life is good!
