On Friday night we stayed in Hilton Head SC. We got settled into our hotel and then headed out to the beach! We love going down there just after we get into the hotel! It relaxes us after the long trip! Then we went to find somewhere to eat! We walked over to the shops and restaurants because they were so close to where we were staying. We found this place called Skilletz Cafe. It was so good! Mr. RCGG had fish tacos. They had a jalapeno and cilantro yogurt sauce on them that he said was so good! I dipped a fry in it and it was really good and I don’t even like cilantro. I had fish and chips again! This time the fish was cod instead of grouper. I think I liked the grouper better!
After we ate we went over to Subway to get a couple sandwiches for just in case we were hungry later in the night! We took those back to hotel and went out on to the beach again since my husband likes to see the ships off in the distance after dark! That is one of his favorite things to do on the beach. Besides trying kick water all over me! =)
On Saturday morning we got everything back into the car and went back over to the shops. I collect ornaments and key chains from trips we have been on and until this trip I didn’t have a Hilton Head ornament. I found a yacht one with Christmas lights on it! I am going to eventually have a Christmas tree up year round with all the ornaments from our trips. We also stopped at Sweet Carolina Cupcakes to get some of the best cupcakes we have ever had. The website doesn’t have their fall flavors listed, but I got a fresh apple cupcake and Mr. RCGG got a banana pudding cupcake. They are so moist (such a horrible sounding word, but it is the only word I can think of) and full of flavor! The apple one was a spice cake with chunks of apple baked into it and buttercream icing and dried apple slices on top! The banana pudding was a white cake with banana baked into it. It also had buttercream icing on top with a vanilla wafer cookie on top! Mr. RCGG said it was very good.
We headed out to Jekyll Island, one of our favorite places in the world! We stayed at the same hotel that we stayed at over Labor Day weekend. Every time we go down there we get pizza from Red Bug Motors Pizza. They have a meat pizza that has all the meats you can put on a pizza. It is so good that we get it every time we go! After that we went down to the beach to walk along the shore. The tide was so high all weekend and the waves were crashing onto the beach almost at the steps to the beach!
Over the weekend Mr. RCGG and I went down to Jacksonville FL for the Colts and Jaguars game!
It was a lot of fun. The Colts won, but then that’s not very surprising since the Jaguars haven’t won a single game this season! I can’t wait to go to a game in Indianapolis at Lucas Oil Stadium!
On our way home from Jacksonville, we stopped at Steak n Shake to eat! There were a bunch of Colts fans that also stopped there to eat! I think there were at least six tables of people with Colts shirts on. I had taken mine off before we left the parking lot at Ever Bank Field. We went back to the hotel and again went down to the beach. We looked for shells and play in the waves. It looks like we spend the entire time on the beach doesn’t it? Haha!
Monday morning we headed back home. Before we left the island we stopped at the Jekyll Island visitors center so I could get some postcards. I get postcards from trips to put in my travel smash book. I also got a JI sticker and a jar of peach butter. I can’t wait to try it!
It was a great weekend and I can’t wait until we go back again! This year has been full of trips and I wouldn’t have it any other way! I love traveling with my husband!
Awww! It sounds like such a fun trip! I try to avoid going near the water with Rob because he doesn’t swim and if he were to kick water on me, I would be tempted to push him off a pier. Wow, that sounds evil, huh!? HEHE! Glad you made it home safe!
