This was kind of a strange vacation for us. Normally, we go somewhere and stay for a week. This time, we split up our time between Savannah and Hilton Head. We had never been to either before, so it was fun to get to check them both out. I think it made our vacation seem a little shorter though because it felt like just as we were getting settled in, it was time to move on. We squeezed in as much fun as possible, with a little relaxing on the side.
On our way to Savannah, we stopped and spent most of the day at a water park. It was tons of fun, and the girls were real daredevils with the huge water slide and the "surfing" ride they have.
*The girls are on the yellow, and Andy is beside them on the orange.
(I also have an incriminating video of Andy on this, but have decided it's better for my well-being to refrain from posting in on my blog!)
We spent the 4th in Savannah. In the morning, we went to the
Oatland Island Wildlife Center of Savannah and had a lot of fun walking their 2 mile trail and looking at all the animals. Of course, after a hot morning outside, we HAD to spend the afternoon in the pool. We ended the day with dinner and fireworks on the Riverwalk, where we also HAD to check out the world famous pralines and other treats from River Street Sweets - yummy!!
We did have one little "hiccup" in our vacation. I realized on the 4th that I forgot to pack my camera battery charger. I'll admit it. I'm not proud of it, but I had a Michaella version of a meltdown - read quiet, moody, and pouty - until we got it solved. I was looking into some options but thinking about how I could convince Andy to buy me a $40 charger that I already had at home. Andy is smart enough by now to leave me pretty much alone when I get like that, but he was thinking about how he was going to convince me that he was not going to buy a $40 charger that we already had at home. (Just for the record, I SO would have won out!). Fortunately, for a small fee, Battery Plus saved the day (and my birthday and maybe my marriage.....haha kidding) and charged my battery for me while we ate lunch. Whew! I'm pretty sure I'll not forget my charger ever again! After the crisis was solved, we headed to Hilton Head and celebrated my birthday. We had a great dinner at a really fun place, took a walk on the beach, and had ice cream with some friends.
The rest of the week was spent hanging out at the beach, doing a little shopping, getting a little beach entertainment for the kids with Gregg Russell, swimming in the pool, and applying aloe to everyone's sunburns!
Oh, and I think the part of the week I was most excited about (hence the reason I HAD to have my charger! ahem, letting it go now) . . . family pictures on the beach! You'll have to check back for those later though!
