We made it to the beach!

On the road again!

First thing Friday morning we loaded down the Explorer with 2 adults (Chris and me), 1 baby (Ella Kate), 2 dogs (Lacey & Abbey) and all our stuff and headed for a multi stop trip down to our vacation at Hilton Head!
Stop one was in Candler, NC, to visit with Chris' Grandmother, Mary Rose, but I managed to leave our camera in the car for that one.

Stop two was in High Point, NC, to visit with my grandmother, Ella Kate's Gran Gran. We had supper at the fancy schmancy dining room at her retirement home. That place is like a resort! Golf course, pool, gym, beauty parlor, and 3 dining rooms-- one formal, one informal, and one "food court." What a way to spend your retirement!
Stop three was in Charlotte to stay with Lauran and Shane. Again, I forgot to take any pictures, but we are so lucky to have such wonderful friends who let us crash with our entire family at their house!! Thanks, Mr. and Mrs. Harmon!

Day two: we drove on down to Hilton Head and got settled in to our condo at Sea Pines. We made a quick trip to the beach and then headed out for dinner at the Salty Dog with Amy-Chris, who just happened to be in HHI for the weekend.
Day three: started with a beautiful run on the beach with the doggies (HHI is dog friendly so before 10am and after 5pm they can be leash free on the beach!). Then my older brother, Erik, and his 3 year old daughter, Savanna, came over so my Dad could see both of his granddaughters at the same time in the same place-- that was a first!
