Day seventeen: Savannah, GA to Hilton Head, SC

Today we arrived in Hilton Head, South Carolina, to spend the day with my aunt and uncle Kathy and Mark, and Uncle Mark's family, the Maidenbergs. They were having a family reunion over the fourth, and had rented two large beach-houses for the crew of 26 to stay in.

We got there in the morning and, after a snack, headed to the beach. We played in the sand, swam in the surf, and did every beach activity that we could have hoped for. The waves were perfect for body-surfing, and though it was warm, it wasn't sweltering (finally!) and it was perfect.

Around three, we returned to the house where we swam in the pool, had a cup of English tea thanks to Adam (thank you again!) and spent time with the family. We had a lovely bratwurst dinner and enjoyed fireworks on the beach.

It's the end of the day, and we're all tuckered out from our day of fun in the sun. Thanks again, Maidenbergs, for having us!

I LOVE PICTURE OF BABY FROG!!!! IT'S ADORABLE!! Jane dear I miss you terribly. I saw that you called and I still have to listen to your message, we were up at the lake for the 4th and I forgot my cell. I heard about Wyatt's Jelly Fish mishap from Ethan. I'm very sorry buddy. Steer clear of jelly fish infested waters from now on. That's my advice.

P.S. Have you guys seen the cartoon Charlie the Unicorn. If not google it and watch. It's my new favorite inside joke with Victoria.
