We just had a wonderful trip to Hilton Head with my parents. They were nice enough to invite us to stay at their timeshare for a wonderfully relaxing 5 days.

We flew into Savannah, and started off our trip with lunch at Paula Deen’s “Lady and Sons”.  Yummy!

On our way to Hilton Head we crossed the Talmadge Memorial Bridge. It is quite a site to see.

The resort was really nice. We were only about 1/4 mile from the beach and had a gorgeous view from the patio.

There was wildlife everywhere, herons, ducks, crabs, fish, turtles.

The water was warm and the weather was perfect.

I had never been to an east-coast beach, and it didn’t disappoint. It looked exactly as I’d imagined from t.v.

There were some amazing live oaks.

The salt marshes were also something to see. These fill up when the tide comes in and then empty as it goes out. They are one of the most productive eco-systems on earth.

I’m getting sleepy, but wanted to post Savannah pics real quick.

Can’t remember the name or significance of this bell, but so pretty I thought I’d include it

Thanks mom and dad for a great visit!
