Christine and I took a very much-needed short weekend vacation to Hilton Head SC. We had to wait till after 5pm on Friday to leave so that had us arriving at 11:30pm at the hotel. Saturday was spent goofing off at the beach, rollerblading down the sidewalks past $1-2.000.000 homes, and of course eating. We also got a great hotel for cheap using expedia.com, got a room for $99 that normally goes for $170. Can't beat that since we didn't decide to go on the trip till Wednesday.
We saw several signs posted around town that said “Do Not Feed the Alligators” We soon found out why when we spotted on sunning him or herself between a pond and US 278. Guess they run around there like squirrels.

Since we couldn't drive on the beach we did the next best thing.
Lets go kayaking!

We took our time coming home on Sunday stopping to take pictures.

After we got back in town we parked at Marta and took the train to the Atlanta Auto Show.

I found it strange that Nissan chose to not have a 4x4 or a SE/SC Xterra at the auto show.
Christine no longer wants a yellow X, now she wants a Mini Cooper, fun looking little car!

We had a great 2-day trip and we are looking forward to going back. If you ever go to Hilton Head be sure to take your bikes, if you do you wont really have to drive much!
