SC Adventure 9

 


Our 9th SC adventure scratch off card led us to Hilton Head Island to go jet skiing.  Well, we were actually going there for Dave to go to a pharmacy conference, so we planned a fun day before he had to go to classes.  We went on a jet ski tour with Lowcountry Watersports.  After being led in a row out of the no wake zone, we had time to play around in an open area.  I managed to hold onto Dave and not fall in, but did not take a try at driving.  It was fun, but you definitely got water in your face!

We then were able to stay for 2 more full days of hanging by the pool, bike riding, running, reading, shopping and eating good food.  Well, Dave got some of the good food and a little pool time, but I was able to live it up!

Dinner on the water at Hudson's.  One of our favorite restaurants!

Dinner at Top Dawg Tavern at Shelter Cove

My favorites thing is to bike around the island eating lunch and shopping, especially at the soap store Nourish.  My favorite restaurants are The French Bakery and The Sea Shack.  The Sea Shack does not have a great atmosphere, but awesome shrimp!

A cool quote at the Top Dawg

Compass Rose Park
This park tells about the history of HHI

This statue is based on a photo of a man walking beside an alligator!


Wildlife in HHI.  





But my favorite memory of this trip is laying on the beach at night, looking up at the stars that we could see through the clouds, and watching the lightening in the distance.  A little getaway that is more fun for me, but still has fun times for Dave too!
