Hilton Head Vacation Day 4: Family Trip

Today we awoke earlier than usual to get a jump on the day’s activities. We were going to eat breakfast on the road, but most of us were impatient and ate while the others were getting ready. So we just went ahead and began our journey.

We went to Beaufort with plans to just see what there was to do. We stopped at a quilt and embroidery shop where she searched for more fabric to add to her collection. We found a seafood restaurant for us to have lunch. Chris had something called Lowcountry Frogmore Stew—which was like boiled seafood with sausage and potatoes.

After we went to the Lowcountry Estuarium where the curator gave us a tour of local wildlife from the estuaries around the Hilton Head area. After our adventure at the estuarium, we began a trip to Bluffton. We knew there would not be much in Bluffton, but we were worn out and did not even get out of the truck. In fact, I think today was more of a get close to family trip because we spent more time in the vehicle than anything.

After our trips, Chris grilled some chicken sausage, hamburgers, and chicken tenders. Then we took Cashlin and the dogs to the beach to get some playtime in the sand. We thought about playing monopoly, but everyone was too exhausted. Chris and I are waking up early tomorrow so I can bring him back to get his truck—he has to go back to work.

Well, I didn’t find much that was worthy of pictures, so here are the few pictures that I took.
