Hilton Head, SC

JD jr, Davis, and I made our first trip to Hilton Head, SC with Nana, Paw Paw, Aunt Mamie, and Aunt G-G. It was a very relaxing week and was just a good excuse to get together with family. It rained the first couple of days that we were there, so we made a visit to the Hilton Head fire department that was just up the street from our condo. JD enjoyed getting to explore the fire trucks, and we were even given a tour of the fire station. We made a couple of visits to the beach, although the weather didn't allow for any swimming, and we spent some time eating, shopping, and playing games (note to self: "Self, never agree to be on Julie's team when she's got pregnancy hormones pumping through her veins." Ha Ha) Davis even took his first dip in the salty sea (see photo). We returned home with good memories and a variety of sea shells that JD collected on the beach.

Oh, and how could I forget -- on the way home, JD said that he needed to spit. I had to inform everyone in the car that he was trying to tell us that he felt like he was going to vomit. Paw Paw quickly pulled the car over, allowed JD to get out of his seat, and we all waited. Nothing happened. Meanwhile, about 5 more miles up the interstate, we heard the unmistakable sounds of...ok, you get the picture...it was a MESS!!! We had to strip the entire car seat of its covering, strip JD down to his underwear, and hose everything off. Thank goodness we were approaching a rest area just as the excitement began. JD still talks about it and says it happened because he was watching the Ant movie. (It's all your fault G-G!) :)
