Family Vacation-Part 1

We went on our first family vacation this week to Hilton Head and Savannah. Ruff had a banquet to go to for Farmer's Furniture so we thought we would make a vacation out of it. I have to admit we were a little nervous because of the 9 hour drive, 5 nights away from home, getting off schedule, naps, eating out every meal, and staying up past Anne Bailey's bedtime. No worries! Anne Bailey was perfect!!! We drug her everywhere and she was happy as can be! She showed out the entire time waving and talking to everyone. We felt like she was a little celebrity and Ruff and I were her entourage. We were constantly getting stopped because everyone wanted to talk to her and tell us how beautiful she was. We are so thankful for this sweet baby girl!

We started out our trip in Hilton Head. It was so pretty!!! I just loved all the old trees and the spanish moss everywhere. When we arrived Saturday afternoon, we walked around our resort, checked out the beach and had a great dinner at Alexanders. On Sunday we played at the beach and pool all day. Anne Bailey absolutely loved everything about the beach. She loved getting in the ocean, playing in the sand, and trying to eat it. She was covered head to toe in sand and did not care one bit. On Monday Ruff played in a golf tournament so AB and I went shopping. We met back up at the pool that afternoon for some swimming. Monday night we met our college friend, Jacob Stubbs and his girlfriend Corey at The Salty Dog for dinner. We had such a great time in Hilton Head and can't wait to hopefully go back next year!

Sorry about the crazy amount of pictures! I just can't help myself!
