Where are Niki and Paris?



Odometer: 17170


Gas: 2.38



Hilton Head SC - a very pretty place. We can see, even through all of the rain here for our stay, why people would vacation here from the East and South.


A big problem with coming here though is that 75% of the island is owned by resorts - and they control there property and beach access completely. It was quite difficult to actually see let alone get to the beach because of all of the gated communities and resorts.


We had rain everyday that we were here. not just drizzle, but downpours. This necessitated creativity in our cramped living space. We had a couple of games of indoor princess baseball, we all had crowns made and had some great dance sessions too.




Zoe and Kes also enjoyed some extra tv time too


We did get a four hour window to enjoy the beach one morning. Very long and flat/shallow - like Waikiki beach. From the gradual slope and all of the rain - people were actually riding their bikes on the sand with no effort like it was a road.











Our site at the campground was nice - the campground actually sold most of their sites, almost like condos. The owners then would fix them up various ways. Ours had a garden and fountain as well as patio furniture. The way it works, is if you rent the site, the owner gets a cut of the fee along with the resort. The campground also had two pools, a gym (not as nice as it sounds, the only thing you could really use was the treadmill do to poor quality and personal safety), tennis courts, and a marina/dock. The resort actually just gave us the key to to the gym and told us to keep it until we left - not a whole lot of other people utilizing it besides the Tillners.





Of note - Kes has graduated from his 0-3 month to 3-6 month clothes!!




A big bummer one night - out of the corner of her eye - Missy spotted a huge beetle or cockroach in the trailer!!!!!! We tracked it down to our bedroom and I was able to end its little party with my shoe - but for the next couple of days I kept my eyes open. I took apart all of the storage compartments on the trailer, cleaned them out and placed some roach poison - so far he was solo. Ugghh.





Zoe not wanting to get up from her nap even though she would cry every time I shut her door.




We all received countless mosquito bites here, regardless of fans and bug spray - worst bugs I have ever seen. As soon as I would step out of the trailer I would have 5-10 mosquitoes immediately on me. We all had welts on our legs!!






Zoe and Kes kicking it in Zoe's bedroom. Kes kept taking his crown off.









A little stroll in the rain.
We told Zoe she is going to Disney world soon - now that is all she talks about!!
