Harbor Town...

Jason and I had the opportunity to take a one week vacation to celebrate our 20 year anniversary. It was just us. The kids stayed with FaFa and Grandma, as well as Uncle John & Aunt Susie. We missed them, but a week away with just the two of us was such a nice treat.

On our trip we went to Hilton Head, South Carolina and Savannah and Sea Island, Georgia. We left on a Thursday morning and flew to Savannah, rented a car and then drove to Hilton Head from there.

Neither of us have ever been to Hilton Head, but I knew I wanted to see the beach and Jason knew he wanted to play golf at Harbour Town Golf Links, which is a PGA Tour course. They had just had the RBC Heritage tournament 3 weeks prior to our arrival. Jason found a studio for us through VRBO where we could stay right in Harbour Town overlooking the marina and the lighthouse, which is right next to the 18th hole of the golf course.
The view from our tiny balcony.
Our little studio with a mini kitchen.
We are at the top of the lighthouse with our condo building right behind us.
This yacht was docked in the marina. It looks like something out of James Bond.

It was absolutely perfect and we loved everything about it. When you look out at the marina on the right hand side (which isn't in the picture) is a restaurant and shopping area so we didn't have to drive anywhere. We ate a lot of seafood on this trip, starting the first night with surf and turf.
We shared this. I took care of breaking up the crab legs for us.
The shrimp were so good steamed with the Old Bay seasoning.

The weather was gorgeous the entire time we were there except for Monday, Memorial Day but we were driving that day so it wasn't a big deal. I loved the warm sunny days of high 80's We haven't had consistent weather like that here in New Jersey yet, so I soaked it all in. The sunsets were beautiful and with where we stayed it was always right in front of us.

We did drive to the grocery store for a couple of things for breakfast and found a favorite grocery store, Publix. We don't have them in New Jersey. I knew one thing that would be on our list, my all time favorite Publix Pecan Ring. Ahhh, I love it.
