Take me back to Hilton Head

While tempting to lump all of our summer happenings thus far together in one post, I felt this trip deserved it's own entry. We traveled to Hilton Head Island over Memorial Day (yes, it was that long ago) for the first time in nearly 11 years with nearly the entire Wright/Livingston family. A first to say the least! Zach and I decided driving would be best with how much "Grace gear" was needed for one week. Our stops along the way included Grace's first to THE Ohio State, and all of our first times seeing the beautiful city of Charlotte, NC.

Proud mama on her old stomping grounds.
Gracie in front of The Horseshoe. Next time we'll put some Scarlet and Gray on you sweetheart!

My Dad's side rented a gorgeous home in Palmetto Dunes right on the ocean for the week, and needless to say all 20-plus relatives were in complete Heaven. May be one of the last times we are able to have that many family members together in one place making it a vacation I will never forget. Wonderful memories, wonderful people, wonderful place. Can't wait to make Hilton Head an annual family trip of our own in years to come! 


Grace at a little over 20 months.
Our fab accommodations for the week!
Classic "holding hands and walking toward the ocean shot" with Daddy.
Drinking ocean water and putting sand in my mouth is cool right?

Wonderful grandparents.
So wonderful spending time with the Baker family! Aunt Dana and Kat.

After spending a week with 20 plus adults, Grace was desperately looking for small people to make friends with.
