Hilton Head, SC

Last weekend, Mommy and Daddy and I went to a place called Hilton Head for Daddy's cousin's wedding.  That's in South Carolina, really close to Savannah where GiGi and Daideo live.  They were there, too, and so were Sean and Aunt Brennan.  It was a really fast and full weekend, but it was lots of fun!

We left really early on Friday morning and flew on 2 planes to get there.  I was very busy, but pretty good considering I got up at 5 in the morning!  I even slept through the second plane ride because I was so tired.  GiGi and Matey picked us up at the airport, and we went over to Matey's house to have some lunch and visit with her and Great-Grandaddy before we drove to Hilton Head for the weekend.

Here's a video of me playing with Matey, my great-grandma.  She has lots of fun toys!

After our quick visit with Matey and GG Daddy, it was time to go pick up Sean from school and drive to Hilton Head.  When we got there, we were pretty tired from all the traveling, so we just stayed at the condo and played with toys.  Sean and I had a blast chasing bubbles in the yard.  Check it out:



On Saturday, Sean left to spend the day and night with Matey, and Mommy, GiGi, and Brennan and I went to the beach for the morning.  I wasn't sure about the sand at first, so I kept my sandals on for a while, but then I got used to it!  GiGi brought a bucket and a shovel for me, and I had a blast filling the bucket up and then emptying it out over and over!  Mommy took me down to check out the water, but it was really cold, and I didn't like it at all!

So much fun!
You could see Tybee Island from the beach!
On Saturday night, we went to dinner after the wedding rehearsal with all of Daddy's family and some of the bride and groom's friends.  It was outside at this place called The Salty Dog Cafe, and there was a big deck with lots of stairs.  All I wanted to do was climb up and jump down the stairs over and over and over again, which made it kind of exhausting for Mommy and Daddy!  They had really yummy food, though, which was the only thing that got me off the stairs!

Taking a rest break from stair climbing with Daddy and Daideo.  It's exhausting!
Sunday morning, we got up and went to the hotel where they were having the wedding and went to the beach again with more of Daddy's family.  My cousin Ryleigh, who's only 1 month older than me, was there, too!

2 shovels are even better than 1!

Time to help Aunt Brennan, too!

(we didn't really play with each other, just next to each other…)
After the beach, I was worn out, so I went back to the condo for a nap.  Then on Sunday night, it was time for the wedding.  Sean was back, so he came, too.  I made it through about half of the ceremony before I started to get restless and wanted to get down and play, so Mommy took me out and we walked around on the boardwalk.  Then when it was over, it was party time!  Sean and I didn't get to stay too long before we had to go back to the condo to go to sleep with a babysitter, but it was fun while it lasted!

On Monday morning, it was time to go back to the airport to take 2 more flights home.  The first plane we were supposed to take didn't work right, so we had to get off and change to another flight, but we made it!  I slept through the whole second plane ride again, which was almost 2 hours long!  I had a blast, but I can't wait to go back to Savannah and Tybee Island in July to see my family for longer and go to the beach again!
