Disney Hilton Head

 We left Savannah and arrived at our destination...Disney's Hilton Head Island Resort. We went to the same resort about 15 or so years ago; shortly after it opened. During our first visit(s) the kids had an absolute blast...and I've always wanted to go back again. Since we did not make it up to see the leaves this year, we opted to go to SC and hoped to catch a glimpse of autumn, enjoy the resort and for John...enjoy some of the many golf courses in the area. We lucked out...when we left town...Tropical Storm (at the time) Sandy was heading towards our home. We did not encounter any rain on the way out of town...just wind. As you can see...we arrived to find sunshine in Hilton Head.

 We planned our activities around what we thought the weather might do. Thursday morning the guys golfed at Heritage Pines , Teresa and I rode the shuttle over to the Beach House. We walked the beach and then walked back (approx a mile) back to the resort. Then we wandered around the shopping center just across the bridge from Shelter Cove.

 View from our room. Our back patio

looked out onto the pool area and the Community Hall.      

 The "theme" of the resort is a 1940's hunting/ fishing camp. The nerd in me loves all the "old" signs. I think I am a Disney Imagineer" at heart.. haha The whole area was decorated for fall and Halloween activities scheduled for the following week.

  Looking out toward the water.

 There is a pier out back where you can watch as the tide goes in and out over a 6 hour period. It fluctuates about 6 feet.

 Bird waiting to see what was being caught.  Thursday afternoon we went kayaking. We figured we better go while the weather was still good. It was pretty windy...but we all did fine. We did opt for double kayaks...so no one got stranded out in the marsh...haha. It was a great "tour"...and a pretty good workout! haha

 After we had a nice dinner outside...with some great live music...we walked back and had a S'more by the campfire. It was good...I really thought I'd just roast a marshmallow...but then decided to have the graham cracker & chocolate too...it was really good...perfectly melted! John helped me finish it off in no time  haha.
