Labor Day at Hilton Head

We arrived in Hilton Head yesterday at about 11am (me DH, DS). I did the on line check in and , it was simple. When we arrived, our packet was waiting for us and our room was ready. We ended up with a 2 br villa (which is way more than we would ever need) but that was all that was available at 7 months. The villa is 1200 sq ft and there is only 3 of us. I could definately get spoiled to vacationing like this.. We decided to unpack before lunch.

They have nice carts for you to use when loading or unloading the your car. These really came in handy.

I found my spot!




We decided to go to the Sea Shack for lunch. We have heard alot of good things about the food here and decided to try it. It's nothing fancy and rather hard to find.






Upon entering the establishment I notice several strange signs posted. One read "please know what you want to order before approaching the counter". hmmm....okay. Then I saw the next sign posted above a stack of T shirts that were for sale, "let us know your size and WE will get it for you". I got the feeling that this was Jerry Sienfeld's version of the Soup Nazi. I wanted to take a pic for the boards but my DH insisted that I not for fear of being band. "no food for you!"

I ordered the shark attack which comes fried, broiled, or blackened. It has shrimp, scallops, oysters, fish and a crab cake. It comes with slaw and fries. I got mine fried. DH had a shrimp poorboy with fries and slaw. DS got fish and chips. We all had sweet teas. The resturant is very small in side and seating is limited. That is why we chose to come at lunch. I have heard that there is a 2 hour wait for dinner. After we got our teas for the self serve beverage island, we noticed the tea wasn't sweet. We didn't dare say a word though. We just added the sugar substitue and smiled. I noticed other patrons doing the same. The food was very good, simple but good. If you are looking for seafood, this is the place. Just remember to follow the rules posted.

After lunch we headed back to the resort to change into our swimsuits before heading to the beach. The temp was 85 but the wind was strong and it was quite chilly when you got out of the water. The beach was more crowded than I remembered it being last year. The beach is about a mile from the resort so we chose to drive. Disney does has a shuttle though.



There is a life guard present until about 5pm. So don't drown after 5.

Before dinner the boys decided to shoot some pool in the community house. This is a great place to relax. They love it.



We decide to go to Giuseppi's for dinner. This is a great place for pizza. We had a 12" pizza, half pepperoni and half supreme and I had a ceasar salad. We all had sweet tea (actually sweet). The bill was only $24.00. Wow!







The best find of the day! Piggly Wiggly rings. Me and DH were so excited. We remember these as kids and brought a handful home for our friends. DS was not so thrilled. kids....
