Hilton Head - Day 5



Day five on vacation and so far no sunburns to report. I am happy to say though that the pasty white skin we all came down with is now one shade darker, still white but no longer eye blinding white! That SPF 50 is working wonders.

We enjoyed another great weather day here with temps in the upper 80's with a warm breeze coming off of the ocean. We let Nicholas make the decision this morning on where he wanted to go and it was an easy decision for him, to the pool. He met a couple of friends there last night that he enjoyed playing with and he just seems to have more fun splashing and kicking around the pool. The favorite game right now is to play boat. I'm the boat and he's the captain. Do I see a future profession here for him? After a nice long nap (all that kicking around really wore him out), we were off to do a little more exploring around the island. Everyone we had spoken to prior to the trip recommended a trip for dinner to the Crazy Crab restaurant. It was well worth the trip as we enjoyed some great seafood while sitting along the coastline. Nicholas even got to try some new food, my swordfish and Jen's Sea Scallops. He enjoyed the scallops a little better then the swordfish. Not sure I ever got to try these cool foods when I was his age.

After dinner we headed down to Harbor Town to see what all the hype we've been hearing was about. After paying an entrance fee??? We found our way to the Harbor. Jen was game for climbing the historic lighthouse, something like 115 steps. I did 114 carrying Nicholas. After that we went to a great little park where Nicholas could spend his last bit of energy before heading back to the house and falling asleep.

Well, that was our Thursday. One more full day left. Time sure fly's when you're having fun.
