Hilton Head, South Carolina #2

Our ten days in Hilton Head is soon coming to an end.  The time has gone by so quickly but we have done some exploring and now know our way around, so when we come back in February, we will already know how to get around.  Our condo has been great and suits our needs and is perfect for having Timmie with us.  When we go out and have to leave him, he is happy just to sit at window that faces the parking lot and wait for us to return.  We haven’t done a lot on this trip but we have done a lot of relaxing and walking the beach.  My VivoFit is registering at least 12,000 steps a day – some days up to 15,000!  Here are some pictures we have taken and we are looking forward to heading home to celebrate Selena (4 years) and Levi (1 year) on Thursday – as you may remember Levi and Selena share the same birth date of November 19.  

Brian wanted to take this picture for Roy.  The Disney resort is across the highway from Palmetto Dunes (where we are staying) but they have a beach house where people are shuttled back and forth to the beach area.  This is exactly 1 kilometer from our condo and where we go for our beach access as well.

Christmas decorations are going up now and Brian has found a radio station that is now playing Christmas music!

This picture is taken from our condo balcony.  We have a very beautiful view to look at every day.

I know we cater to our dog……but since we walk quite a way on the beach, Timmie will only go so far and then he just plops down on the sand and won’t go any further, so this is the best solution so that we don’t have to pick him up.  Timmie will walk miles in snow but any kind of heat he just doesn’t like it and all he looks for is shade.  We certainly put a lot of smiles on people’s faces though………most will say well that is walking the dog literally!

I am absolutely amazed at how far the tide goes out.  This is about 4:30 p.m. and as you can see, lots of sandy beach.  When we walk in the morning, you can see by the color of the sand where the tide is where the people are walking in the distance.  The lighter shade of the sand is the part we walk on in the morning.

Taking a selfie with my phone!  We did this without Timmie and then he was whining at us so we picked him up so he could be in the picture too!

We will be on our way home either Tuesday or Wednesday.  There is quite a lot of rain coming across the mid states over to the east coast and if it is going to rain all day Tuesday here, we though we might as well start heading home then.  If we don’t get the rain, then we will leave Wednesday and arrive home on Thursday to celebrate our grandchildren’s birthdays!
