Day 22 - Hilton Head Island

Today was our last day on the island. My inner athlete got the better of me today. We started with 2hrs of kayaking. The highlight was that we got to see a pod of dolphins swimming around. Pretty cool. After that, we headed to the pool to cool off and get the salt off of us. 

We had an early lunch and then grabbed our bikes. I have this issue when someone tells me I can't do something, well, guess what? The issue this time was that I wanted to see Harbor Town. If you read my post from a couple of days ago, it was going to cost me $25 vs. $5 for a regular car to drive there. My first thought was heck; we'll ride our bikes there. Well, not quite directly. I asked the guy at the kayak place about riding the bikes there and he said the guards would not allow that either, BUT, if we went to the beach near there, we could ride our bikes down the beach and then cut up beyond the guard shack. Bingo! The plan worked like a charm. The icing on the cake was that Cathy and the boys loved riding on the beach. I thought it was pretty cool too. In case you're wondering, it was hard sand all the way. The downside was that the whole ride was pretty long (~3 hrs.) and it included going up over a tall bridge on the way to the beach. Like I said, Cathy and the boys did great. Harbor Town was pretty cool, so it ended up being a good call. 

We rode back to the main town area. I decided to let Cathy and the boys only ride to there, while I rode back to the campground and got the truck. Good calls as the ride back took me another hour and I wasn’t riding slow either. Faithy was my co-pilot on the ride back into town.

We got back to camp and of course a couple of beers were in order! After a steak dinner all was well with the world. I'm pretty sure everyone will sleep well tonight.

I didn't think about it, but Saturday is moving day on Hilton Head Island. The traffic was crazy getting off and on the island.

 As an update, my golf day yesterday was very fun. I played Palmetto Dunes - Robert Trent Jones course. I ended up with just one other quy, which was very cool. Nice guy too. I played ok, but the I had a few too many mistakes to shoot a good score. Fun day none the less.

Tonight we got the trailer mainly ready for travel. Tomorrow we'll simply disconnect the water and electric and be on our way. We head to Myrtle Beach. The boy should enjoy that. Greg may have an ear infection. We see and we may have to find an urgent clinic tomorrow. Hopefully it is something minor.

 It has been nice being in one place for 4 days. Tomorrow we start a 2, 2, 2, 1 string where we'll be staying at the next 3 locations for 2 days each. Travel between each is fairly small too, which will be nice.

Here are a couple of pictures from our kayak outing.
