A week at the beach

We've just come home from the best vacation yet at beautiful Hilton Head.  I won't bore you with too many photos.  Here are just five.


 One highlight is that we climbed up a little lighthouse, which I had promised we would do during our row of The Little Red Lighthouse and the Great Gray Bridge (love that book, btw).
 We pretty much just lounged at the beach all day every day:)
We had fantastic weather except for the second day, which was, as you can see from the picture, not too bad at all.

We keep talking of trying out another beach for our vacation, but just seem to end up back here, year after year.  Hilton Head is a great place for vacationing.
What beaches do you like?  I'm open to suggestions for next year:)

  1. This looks great! We are yet to have a beach vacation. I would probably choose NJ coast because then my parents could join us.

  2. Love the drawing with a feather picture.

    The beaches I like would be a little far for you......

  3. Hilton Head is beautiful! This post takes me back to my childhood when we visited there all the time! You might enjoy some of the neighboring islands too. We like Topsail Island as well.

  4. Pretty pictures, and I love that you go to the same place every year, I love the idea of traditions. My family went to Sequoia every year (no beach there, we lived at the beach). I think you are such a great mother, that you spend your time with your children SO wisely. I am glad you blog about it, giving us all ideas!

  8. That picture of the clouds in the background is lovely!!!

    We're heading to Okaloosa, Florida this fall. The water is crystal clear and absolutely gorgeous. So peaceful. The weather just can't be beat in the early fall. These pictures are getting me excited!

    I'm totally obsessed with the beach, you can find many recommendations for family beach vacations at waddlee-ah-chaa. :)

  9. Beautiful pictures, Julie! Were you staying at Harbour Town? Would you believe we have never gone to Hilton Head?? We keep saying we are, but never do. We seem to stick to Pawley's Island each year, and day trip at Isle of Palms. Oh, I LOVE the beach! It is my favorite place of all to be. Glad you had such a wonderful time with your family. BTW, I've really enjoyed reading your rows as you post them.
