This past weekend my mom, my aunt and her family, and I headed to Hilton Head Island for my cousin's wedding! The girls and Jay stayed home due to the quick round trip...and that I would be gone over a Sunday. So...my mom and I decided that since we had not had a girl's trip away in forever that we would take ourselves a little road trip!They came to Atlanta on Friday morning to pick me up...and then my aunt, mom and I jumped in one car while my aunt's family was in the other and we headed on to Hilton Head. We had a wonderful time catching up and laughing together. My family has GREAT sense of humors...so it's always crazy!
This was my first time at my mom's cousin Elizabeth's home on the Island...and let me just say WOW! My cousin Freer (who got married) lives in Chicago and wanted to do a destination wedding at the beach. So...Elizabeth opened her home for the rehearsal dinner and her yacht club for the wedding and reception.
These are the views of the water from her family room! This place was like a 10 star hotel...and it's their HOME! The water was amazing and the ships passing were breathtaking! We stayed at her house so we had the perfect place for all the gatherings.
This is the porch right off the living room!
There were threats of storms that night...so it was nice and overcast. If not...the heat and humidity would have been terrible right on the water. But, the night was gorgeous, the food was amazing...we had a low country boil, and it was such fun to see all my family!
Mom and I had more fun than I could every write! We shared a room at Elizabeth's house here and just felt like we were in a spa retreat all weekend!!
On Saturday morning, my mom and I had the scary job of getting the dress to Freer and her mom Holly...yikes! We got it there perfectly and then had a great lunch with them. We loved getting to chat with her once more before all the festivities began!
Freer and her GORGEOUS dress!
After helping out Holly and Freer that morning and a great lunch...we headed over to where the rest of our family was staying at a beach home right across the island. We took some time to walk on the beach, watch the kids ride waves, and just relax together.
The weather was still overcast and the water was rough...perfect for Fletcher to ride the waves!
Mary Frances is one of my favorite cousins! She and grew up going to the beach each summer with our family. We have so many memories of the Litchfield Inn where our family owned condos. My grandmother has only one brother and they both had 5 children...so there are lots of us! We would go to the Litchfield Inn for 2 weeks every summer and have the BEST memories!
