To celebrate our youngest son's birthday, his wish was for our entire family to go to Hilton Head S.C. for a week. We rented a villa in Palmentto Dunes. We had a 4 bedroom 3 bath 2 story villa with a lagoon in our backyard with a deck for fishing. The beach was just across the street, about a 2 minute walk. Our villa also had 2 bicycles, beach chairs and a beach umbrella. We could not have been more pleased with the location and the villa itself. If any of the 7 adults or 1 dog needed space of their own it was not a problem to find. (Yes, our villa was even pet friendly.)
The highlight of the trip was our shark fishing expedition. Except for 2 members suffering from sea sickness it was a great evening. (See c3 and j I did not mention your names.) Four of us were lucky enough to actually catch sharks, I was the first one on a boat of 35. I am a typical fisherman when you ask me how big it was I will say 10Feet and it was a hammerhead. Don't look close at the picture though.
The guys also did some fishing from the beach and were very successful. Cory, our oldest caught 2 stingrays and then Cory and our middle son Cole also had luck pulling in several sharks. They became know as the Ranger Ricks of the beach. All the little kids would follow them around to see what they caught.
We did take a day and drove down to Savannah. After just spending a long weekend with my mother and sister in Charleston, I was very disappointed in Savannah. We did see many of the spots were Forest Gump was filmed.
Of course the highlight of Savannah, for the girls was stopping in Paula Deen's store. We did not go to the restaurant - we just don't usually do buffets and it is a buffet.
