We went to Santee, SC on Thursday afternoon and spent the night with Sue and Wes. On Friday, Brian played golf with Wes at the golf course behind their house. Sue got Maurice's Barbeque for lunch. She even had Brian's name put on an ice cream cake. After lunch, we drove to Mt. Pleasant and checked into the Hampton Inn & Suites in Mt. Pleasant - Isle of Palms.
We drove over to the Isle of Palms, and had drinks at the rooftop bar at Coconut Joe's. It was a beautiful day, but the ocean breeze was cool.

I packed up to leave on Saturday morning. It started raining as I was getting the car loaded. I left Hilton Head at 11:20am, and I got home just before 5:00pm. Brian had played golf that day in Asheboro, and he had just gotten home. That night, we went to a Fiesta Party / Bridal Shower for the daughter of some friends in our neighborhood.
Hilton Head is beautiful this time of year. The azaleas were later blooming this year, so they were still in bloom. The weather was very comfortable - highs in the 70's and low humidity. It was great weather for riding bikes and laying out in the sun. We enjoyed eating at some good restaurants, but there are always more that we want to go to. We have another trip planned to Hilton Head in September, so we will go to some different restaurants during that trip.
See our pictures on Snapfish.
Sunning, bike-riding, eating, shopping, then more of each - sounds like a marvelous time!
