Hilton Head Island, SC – Day 3 of 8

Today started with tennis at 7:45. It seemed a bit cooler so my mom and I played three sets. 6-0, 6-1, 6-1. I’m down to one racket from three after breaking a string each day so far. Let’s hope that trend doesn’t continue!

The squirrels here are really tame and photogenic.

We headed to the beach where I got some great exercise walking in the water down the coast while pulling Kara. She enjoyed it until I got tired and told her she had to walk back :p. The pool was super-crowded but very relaxing after the ocean workout. I don’t know who invented these things, but someone came up with an octopus life preserver/float that took up about a 7-foot diameter in the pool.

For lunch we decided to cross off another restaurant on the top-6 list: Giuseppi’s. It was fantastic! There’s a reason only 1/2 the pizza is showing in this picture!

Toppings: amazingly-fresh mozzarella cheese, grilled chicken, broccoli, and bacon!
Price: $21
Rating: 5/5

My only complaint is that it’s all gone!

After lunch we headed to the site of the infamous Tuesday night concert and fireworks to scope it out. The stage was tiny and my mom questioned a worker about what to expect. Apparently it’s mostly for kids. They have a bounce house and music that stops for the fireworks at dark. So if it’s for kids, why was there a Budweiser trailer parked there? Weird. Anyway, we decided to pass on that event.

Shortly after heading back to the condo, heavy, much-needed napping ensued.

Dinner? Yummy leftovers from Giuseppi’s (at least for me)!

We thought about going mini-golfing after dinner but after checking the Weather Channel and seeing that the heat index was 107 (actual high today was 100), we passed on that too. The women took a long walk while I stayed in and watched Hell’s Kitchen and Master Chef.

Here are some beautiful shots Kara took on the walk.

Tomorrow I’ll be sleeping in and then we’re going to Harbour Town.

So far this vacation has been great! G’night ya’ll.
