Hilton Head Island, SC – Day 6 of 8

Ahh…today was awesome!

We started out with tennis at 7:30. I won 6-1, 6-1—not as good as I had hoped, but not too shabby.

Then we went down to the beach. While there, Kara had the fabulous idea to have Flamingo’s Doughnut Cafe for dessert for lunch. So we punctuated our water time, had a quick lunch, and headed to the best doughnut shop in the world.

After that we headed back to Sea Pines for a dolphin-watching cruise. A big thank you to our parents for buying our tickets!

Waiting for the boat to take off almost reduced me to a puddle of goo. It’s also a good shot of the hat I told you about earlier.

We saw dolphins surface 15-25 times but never got a decent shot of them. I was really hoping for a shot of one jumping out of the water, but no cigar.

On the cruise we saw Daufuskie Island which is accessible only by sea and air. The captain said building materials cost three times as much there!

Here’s a shot of a “haunted” light house on that island.

After the cruise, we headed to Main Street Cafe & Pub where I had the most delicious crab legs ever!

Rating: 5/5

If you’ve been following along, you probably think I’m being gracious to all of these restaurants I’m giving 5/5. Nope. I’m probably the toughest food critic you’ll ever meet. These places have all been absolutely fantastic!

After dinner, we headed back to the condo, had ice cream (yes, somehow I had room left) and watermelon, and relaxed. Kara and her mom took a walk on the beach, but after 14 or so clusters of crab legs, I wasn’t feeling it.

Tomorrow we’re going to sleep in and grab brunch some place, then chill out at the beach and pool, and probably knock another awesome restaurant off the list.

G’night!
