Dreamy Vacation

So we jumped in the car and headed south. A really nice family from our church called us at the beginning of summer and asked us if we'd like to use their beach condo in Hilton Head, South Carolina. (YES!!!!!!!) I can't tell you how much that meant to me. God knew exactly what our family needed. Since the nice family was going to the Domonican Republic, the 2nd week of July worked perfectly. We hit the road at 5:00am!

There's my sweet driver. (did I mention that he drove 21 hours straight?)

Sleeping babies.
We were originally planning to stay one night in Asheville, NC but we weren't really impressed when we pulled into town, so we kept driving to Savannah, Georgia. 
Happy 4th!
It was such a cool town. We walked all over the place checking out all the touristy things.
Cobblestone streets.

We went to a really famous ice cream shop. I read that if kids said the pledge they got a FREE scoop of ice cream. Macker, Sis and Junedog all scored really delish ice cream.

Fancy buildings.
We found cool things.

Our family.

This is Paula Deen's restaurant.
Here's John Wesley.

We had time for some wrestling...
Then we went up to the rooftop of our hotel.

We swam.

The babies ate watermelon.
There must have been about 150 people watching from the rooftop when the fireworks started. Macker was the ONLY one in the pool. I thought it was so funny!
It was a really special day and our Hilton Head vacation hadn't even begun.

Awesome! It looks like you had Savannah to yourselves. Love the matchers, and Sam's face in the group pics (little stinker ;) How special to watch the fireworks from a rooftop pool!
