I know my posts have been pretty all over the place lately. I’m way, way behind and trying my best to catch up. Basically there’s no rhyme or reason to the order, it’s just whatever I’m in the mood to write about. Hopefully you all bear with me!
So in early August, Josh and I made our annual trip to Hilton Head, South Carolina for a long weekend. We definitely needed the break and enjoyed relaxing by the pool (surprising for me, I know). It was really hot and sunny though, almost oppressively so. I used liberal amounts of sunscreen and still managed to get burned.
One of the nicest parts of the trip was that my brother, sister in law, and nephew made the trip from Charlotte to meet us there for the weekend. We ended up celebrating Alexander’s second birthday while we were there, though he was more interested in playing with a Kindle than eating his Spiderman cake.
Of course, we also had a lot of nice meals out during our trip. I got an email from someone who came across the blog because of my post about The Studio, a Hilton Head restaurant that we had gone to in 2009. The writer was pretty well versed in HH restaurants and made a few suggestions that we and Josh’s parents ended up trying. Overall the food we had was pretty good, though we still haven’t really found our “favorite” place just yet. No matter, as there’s always next year!

During our last day on the beach, Josh and I decided to create a sand sculpture depicting our kitties, Stewie and Rupert. We had a hard time getting the details to “stick” so it’s definitely more of a modern, interpretive sculpture, but we had fun making it and then watching the tide wash it away shortly thereafter.
