Disney World, Florence, and Hilton Head Island: my happy places. I LOVE Hilton Head! My family vacationed there every summer when I was growing up. It will always hold a special place in my heart. My parents invited Miguel and me up for this past weekend to celebrate our joint anniversaries. It's so nice living only an hour away from HH! And it was nice to be able to bring the dogs with us. We had such a fun weekend.
I really enjoyed the house we stayed in this time. It was a short walk to Harbor Town and right on the marsh. Miguel and I stayed in the guest house which had a neat loft. I also loved the exposed beams in the family room.

Miguel and I drove up on Friday afternoon. So once we got settled in and unpacked, the family headed to dinner. We went to Crazy Crab in Harbor Town. Yummy! I know we live right by the ocean here on Wilmington Island but it was nice to eat fresh seafood on 'vacation'.
One of the wonderful things about HH is the dog friendly beaches. My parents, Miguel and I took the three puppies to the beach Saturday morning. We had the dogs off the leash for a while but quickly had to re-leash them once we were told that dogs were only allowed off the leash before 10 am or after 5 pm. The dogs had so much fun running around and playing with each other and playing in the water.
For dinner Saturday night we went to a HH must, The Salty Dog. I got a t-shirt, a hat, and of course, a bandanna for Emma!
Sunday morning breakfast was really fun. We went and had brunch at the Yacht Club. Our view was so pretty and the weather was perfect. We ate over looking the harbor. It was so fun because a dolphin was hunting in the harbor and made lots of circles around the boats. It was so pretty!

After brunch Miguel and I spent the afternoon playing tennis and hanging out at the pool. Then Miguel went on a longgg run, the family lounged around, and I took pictures of the dogs.

| My mom's dog, Luke, doesn't like change much and has been a little insecure being away from home. So he has been glued to my mom for reassurance. Makes lounging around a little more difficult. |
Sunday afternoon Miguel cooked ribs and burgers for our family. While those were cooking my parents and I went to feed the horses some carrots.
 |
| YUM! Sweet potato fries, ribs, burgers, corn, salad, potato salad, watermelon, and beans! Thanks for cooking, bb! |
We had SUCH a fun weekend! Thanks mom and dad for letting us come visit! AND happy 1st anniversary to my hubby and happy 30th anniversary to my parents! Love you all!
