Hilton Head Island, SC – Day 2 of 8
July 26, 2010 – 10:33 pmThe day started off at 6:45 AM. Usually that would irk anyone on vacation, but if you want to play tennis in Hilton Head during the summer, morning’s the only way to go. My mom and I played for about an hour and ten minutes after which point I collapsed at the dining room table and had some cereal.
Next, we headed to the beach where Kara mocked me severely because of my hat.
Ok…it’s not quite that goofy, but the only differences are the tassels and writing. This year, I decided my hat was an ample substitute for sunblock lotion. I hate that stuff. With a passion. And after one day of being in the sun for about four hours, I can say that it seems to have worked.
So we went to the beach, the crowded pool (webcam-monitored) where we watched Kara’s mom learn to swim, and then back to the condo. Lunch was delicious: pulled rotisserie chicken sandwiches.
Then we got bored and took a trip to the chamber of commerce which we mistook for the visitor’s center. Whoops. So they directed us to the visitor’s center where a very helpful woman doused us with great info.
Top 6 places to eat:
Today we knocked Sea Shack off the list. The food was amazing but the wait was ridiculous. We got there at 5:50 and didn’t get seated until 7:30. The place had maybe 15 tables and the ginormous line we waited in was outside in the 91-degree heat.
I got the Shack Attack: crabcake, scallops, shrimp, oysters, and tilapia.
So was it worth it? Not really. Go for lunch instead and enjoy shorter waits and cheaper food.
I’m an ice cream-aholic. So we stopped at the Piggly-Wiggly after dinner and snagged some Double Fudge Brownie ice cream which hit the spot with bananas and a crushed-up Butterfinger. Yum!
Time for bed…we’re playing tennis at 7:30 tomorrow morning.
G’night!
