Hilton Head, South Carolina



We are currently living on Hilton Head, SC
It's an island just off the mainland South Carolina
It is basically a resort community,
and, at times, feels like 
everyone but us is well into retirement!

We rented a condo here for a month 
to enjoy a little study 'stay-cation' 
by the sea!

We are throughly enjoying our 'stay-cation'
The beach here is so long and beautiful and 
the compact sand is perfect for riding a bike!
{which was a first for each of us}



The island itself is way bigger and more 'americanized' than I anticipated...
{for example, not that i'm a fan, but there is a walmart on the island?!)
However, they have done a great job keeping the place looking pretty... 
It's hard to recognize even the most obvious chain restaurants 
and department stores.

We have also learned,
not to feed Alligators!
{though, what one would feed an alligator remains a mystery}  


Good thing we read this sign!
As we have already seen our first gator!

Alligator!
Last but not least,
during our first week here
we enjoyed a casual Valentines day dinner 
at a cute little seaside restaurant
{The Salty Dog}
This came highly recommended from our friends 
and did not disappoint!


All for now!
