Day1... Travel Day and Disneys Hilton Head Island Resort
Wow! It was a long travel day for sure! We set alarms for 2:45 am and quickly radius ourselves to leave at 3:33 am. Thank goodness we packed up the car last night!
Leaving early made getting through DC and Richmond easy!
Sorry for the sideways pictures... Uploading on my phone and not sure how to fix them
Then it was a long drive to South of the Border...I must admit that I nearly dozed off a few times. Thank goodness my husband was driving!
We packed a lunch to eat at a rest stop and it was a great feeling to finally get out of the car and do some stretching! It also helped me justify spending kids of $$ on dinner tonight!
Traffic was terrible after hitting the rest area and took forever in heavy traffic to actual get on the island but it was magical once we got here and actually found the resort!
We checked in and Took our luggage to the room...a studio in the main building. Then we went off to explore the resort!
There were thunder storms all around us so the pier was closed and the pool too.
We did a little shopping...bought myself a rain jacket!
I needed that later for sure!
We played some corn hole and some bocci ball and then explored the marina.
We headed back to the room just before a huge thunderstorm hit and it down poured!
We had a reservation for Ombre at 8 pm and it wad absolutely delicious! We even say outside under cover! First time I ever ate outside in a thunderstorm!! The food was Favreau! The service was friendly and welcoming! The only thing I would warm about is the lack of a kids menu! DS, Anderson, does not eat much and it was it to get him to eat order. Otherwise, Ombre is a great choice for a meal while in Hilton Head... And only 6 minutes from Disneys resort!
We are all ready for bed and going to get some good sleep tonight! Friends are joining us tomorrow... And we can't wait to see them!
