We finally decided that instead of heading back to Illinois this year over our break we were going to take a "real" family trip. What a great decision that was! We packed up the car and headed down to Hilton Head Island. Weather was perfect - we were at the beach everyday. We went crabbing, ate lots of ice cream, went for bike rides, walked the beach, ate some sand - we did it all! It was so much fun to watch the girls explore the beach. They found all kinds of sea creatures - sand dollars, starfish, sea snails, jellyfish etc....Elise saved them all. Instead of keeping them she sent them all back into the ocean to be with their families (where did she come from?). We were also lucky enough to see alligators and dolphins. Joe and I decided that there is something magical about taking a family trip! What joy it is to watch your kids be carefree and totally happy. I declared multiple times on the trip that we will be taking some kind of family vacation (preferably beach) every year!
Enjoy the pics.
