First Family Vacation Recap

To say that our vacation was an experience is a bit of an under statement. Nothing and I mean NOTHING went the way I expected. We originally booked a two bedroom condo in Destin Fl. What did we end up with? A one bedroom condo in Hilton Head SC. Apparently Mother Nature decided to mess with us and stir up a tropical storm in the Gulf forcing us to move our vacation else where.
We left around 11pm Thursday night and arrived in Hilton Head SC around 5pm Friday evening. Let's just say the car ride with Benjamin was interesting and leave it at that.
It was a rough evening Friday, Benjamin did not want to go to bed which is pretty rare for him. He loves his sleep and normally doesn't mind new places and will sleep just about anywhere. I guess he was on Mother Natures side and also wanted to mess with us :(
Saturday we woke up with a fresh attitude and took Benjamin straight out to the beach which he absolutely LOVED! We could barely keep him out of the water. He was definitely born for the beach!
Unfortunately our attitudes took a turn for the worse Saturday evening because we had another rough night trying to get Benjamin to bed and also discovered we had major car problems. That, along with a few other factors drove us to the decision that it was time to leave earlier than anticipated. We ended up driving home Sunday. I don't have any ill feelings about it anymore, therefore I feel I can finally talk about it. We turned our vacation into a staycation and took Benjamin to the Zoo on Tuesday and to pick apples on Wednesday. So at least we still had fun as a family on our time off.
Anyway...without further adieu here are some pictures from our short lived time in Hilton Head SC
