The vacation is over and we're home once again safe and sound. It was a long drive with what seemed like a million 'potty' breaks on the way but we finally made it. Friday was our last day and it was just as relaxing as all the previous days were. Nicholas and I went to the pool to play on Friday morning and saw a surprise in the adjacent lake....an 8 foot alligator! Nicholas was surprisingly unimpressed so it was back into the pool for more fun! Later in the afternoon after his super long nap, we finally ventured down to the beach for the last time to hang out in the sun and sand.
All in all this was a very fun vacation. As I had mentioned in a previous post we're not typically beach goers but Hilton Head was very, very nice and I could definitely see us going back there again soon. I should have played every state's lottery between here and there just to see if I could get lucky and permanently extend that vacation!
Before closing the vacation posts and getting back to normal life, there are a few observations from my trip that I would like to share:
1. Ohio drivers are horrible. The left lane on the highway is for passing people and not for camping. If it takes you longer than 5 minutes to pass a vehicle, give up and try again when the mile long string of vehicles you've bunched up passes by.
2. Ohio drivers are horrible. When I'm passing a vehicle and I'm already doing 15 mph over the speed limit, give me a second to get around the car. Me popping the trunk of my car so you can get one inch closer isn't going to get you to your destination any sooner. Relax brother!
3. It's been a while since I've been to the beach but it appears as those bikini wraps (i.e. skirts) are popular now. I noticed way too few women wearing those who probably should have. I'm not as comfortable with your body as you are.
4. A disturbing fashion statement that I saw down there was wearing polo shirts with the collars sticking up. I thought that statement died when "SilverSpoons" went off the air.
