OK, I’m officially impressed with Hilton Head. We had a big time…
Getting acquainted to the island took some time. For example, it took about an hour to find a Starbucks! Zoinks!!?? All of the stores are hidden with deep vegetation and all of the signage is incredibly low. Of course, after such time had elapsed, I ordered two! After the first few hours of getting to know the island, we had a routine going and loved it.
For dinner, we ate at 211 Park and Red Fish. Both were fantastic. They both reminded me of Mr. Friendly’s for some reason. I may be way off, but they both seemed to have the “New Southern” thing going on, with a boatload of wine ready to be uncorked.
The golf that we chose was very nice, but very expensive. It was $165.00 for us to play 9 holes. Yes, 9. The Ocean Course at Sea Pines was great and all, but for that kind of money, I would love to see some marsh or ocean. It was nice, and it may just have been my cruddy slice (water to the right on the first 4 holes), but I would rather spend about half the money at the mega-plush Caledonia or super-scenic Pawley’s Plantation. Maybe we’ll try the courses recommended by Forge Ahead in my last Post.
We ended the weekend at South Beach and The Salty Dog. This is a very cool and very convenient place for vacationers. Everything anyone would want to do (beach, fish, golf, tennis, eat, sleep, pool, etc.) is “right there.”
Jenna and I will certainly be going back to Hilton Head. I may even have to bring my brother and a jon boat… Thanks to Jay and Bunni for a great wedding present!
Thank you for keeping the calls, texts and emails to a minimum (sort of :-)). Back to Columbia, and back to work!
