The beach was perfect! The weather was perfect. The waves were perfect. The time was refreshing. Hilton Head is a great vacation spot for families. Yesterday after we broke “beach camp” mommy dropped us off at a playground so the kids could run off some energy before we came back to the condo. There was [...]
