I am so relieved to have a week of no classes (and just a little bit of studying). I don’t know why, but I feel so tired during January through March. It could be I need more sunlight than I get during these months.
I am looking forward to April and May, and then in early June, we go to our favorite place in the whole world—Hilton Head. It is the one time of the year when my husband and I have a whole week of special time with our son and his family.
We like to stay at South Beach in Sea Pines at the very end of the island. We can walk to the South Beach Marina, which is such a nice area with interesting shops, boat rentals, bike rentals, and couple of really good cafés. The place where we stay offers free tennis at the South Beach Racquet Club, where they have around 25 courts. All we have to do is call in advance to reserve a court/time, and we get to play “free” each day for one hour. We usually play every day we are there.
As for our water view, we can look right out to the Calibogue Sound, where we watch plenty of dolphins bobbing up and down right off the beach and so many fishing boats. It is only a few steps to the beach, and I take an early morning walk with my grandchildren almost every day we are there. We find many treasures, such as starfish, jellyfish, sand dollars, and interesting seashells.
We have two favorite restaurants: Truffles is near HarborTown in the Sea Pines Resort, and Red Fish is just outside of Sea Pines. Both have wonderful little shops with very unique items so it is fun to go and browse while we are waiting on our delicious food.
Hilton Head, here I come (and it won’t be soon enough)!! Now, back to real life--mid-March and the winter blahs.
