Hilton Head Island, SC – Day 5 of 8

Today started off at 7:30 with four sets of tennis: 6-0, 6-1, 6-2, 6-0. My goal this entire week has been to win three straight sets at 6-0 but I can’t seem to do it. Maybe tomorrow.

The beautiful weather magnified the enjoyment of the beach and pool. I did try-out for the 100m sprint today while in the ocean. A large school of fish started leaping out the water towards Kara and me, jumping out all at once at least three or four times. Needless to say, we followed suit and raced to the shore. I never did see the shark, but I’m fairly certain something large and scary was lurking under the surface.

We decided to hit up Skull Creek Boathouse (another top-6) for a late lunch after failing to find an all-you-can-eat crab leg place that was open for lunch. SCB is hidden on the water behind the Hilton Head Boathouse. I had the Salmon B.A.T. which contained grilled salmon, bacon, avocado, and tartar sauce and was served with sweet potato fries. It was scrumptious! My mom had grilled scallops. Kara had shrimp linguine. Pam had a cod sandwich. Everything was amazing!

Sorry for the dearth of pictures. I had a huge mental lapse as the food arrived because it smelled so good!

Rating: 5/5

After lunch, we went to the boat ramp behind SCB where Kara took these beautiful shots.

We really wanted dessert at SCB but it was kind of pricey, so we opted to get some at Harris Teeter. Ice cream was buy 2, get 3 free or 2 for $5. So we got mint chocolate chip and double fudge brownie.

We cooled off for a bit and then headed to Adventure Cove where we played mini golf.

Mini golf results:
1) Pam
2) Jeremy & Kara (tied)
3) Sue

We headed back to the condo and learned how to make yummy pound cake from Alton Brown. And then I was forced to watch So You Think You Can Dance.

Tomorrow we plan to play tennis in the morning, hit up the beach and pool for a short while, go on a dolphin cruise, and have all-you-can-eat crab legs. Should be awesome!

G’night!
