Adams in Action: Hilton Head with the Adams

We just got back from a week long vacation with Dan's family at Hilton Head. Dan's sister Allison works in Hilton Head so it seemed like a good idea to vacation there this summer. Dan's parents found the perfect place for us to stay in Shipyard. A typical day went something like this: wake up at 6 am (one of the joys of vacationing with children) , take an early morning walk to the beach, eat, morning nap, go to the pool, eat, afternoon nap, go to the beach, eat, put the kids to bed at 6:30 (one of the joys of vacationing with children), go on a long bike ride while my sweet mother-in-law stays at home with the sleeping kids, play games, eat again, go to sleep, repeat.

While Atticus and Isaiah do look alike, they responded very differently to the beach. Atticus loved the sand! He played in it, ate it and really enjoyed himself. Isaiah didn't really want to touch the sand, I guess he thought it was too dirty. Atticus loved the ocean, one day he walked down to the ocean (with Dan's help) and walked into the waves. Isaiah would only go in the ocean if you held him and made him go in. This was very amusing to me, especially since Isaiah is usually my bold and daring child. One day we took them out to the ocean in waist deep water and they both really enjoyed the waves. We were having a great time until I got stung by a jellyfish and decided that it probably was not a good idea for the boys to be in the ocean. So we spent the rest of the week on the shore, which was still a lot of fun.

Overall it was a very relaxing vacation. Grandmother and Granddaddy Great came down for the week and Great Uncle Dave came from Atlanta for a few days- it was a special treat to get to see them. Here are some pictures from our vacation.
