Beaufort Trip 2011

Nick has to go to Beaufort, SC a lot for work. I love that over the summer, we can tag along with him. This time, my mom, Abby, and Luke, came with us. We were only gone 2 days, but we had a great time! We stayed in Bluffton, SC. It is about 20 minutes South of Beaufort and 20 minutes north of Hilton Head. Perfect place! The first night, we took the kids to Hilton Head Island. Right as we got there, Christopher found a baby shark that washed up. He picked it up and we got some great pics of it. Kinda scary considering all of the shark attacks we have had on the Carolina coast this summer. That baby shark had a mama shark somewhere! Nathan made the trip to the beach! He LOVED it! He loved the water and hated when it was time to go! Bailyn, Abby, Luke, and Christopher weren't as excited. Bailyn, Abby, and Luke had just gotten home from Myrtle Beach and Christopher had just gotten back from Charleston with my parents.....but we had a great trip. The weather was SOOOOOO hot that week. We were well into the triple digits. A little to miserable to enjoy downtown Beaufort. We did take the kids and walked around the water festival that they had that week. It was a lot of arts and crafts. The kids were totally bored, and extremely hot....so we ended the trip with some yummy ice cream and went back to the hotel. They went swimming for the rest of the day and we ended the trip with dinner at our favorite pizza place. It has become a tradition since our trip to Disney World. We stoped at Bluffton on the way down. Mom and dad had found the place on their trip to Hilton Head a few years ago. We all love it. I am so so glad that we were able to make the trip and make some fun memories with Grandma, Luke, and Abby!
