Hilton Head

Mon 10th: Played golf, Ju finally posted a win thanks to a 9-point Stableford lead after the first nine. Ridiculously narrow fairways with trees everywhere made the job a little hard. Johnny got his first tooth, shortly followed by his second.

Tues 11th: Went for a bike ride down the beach, adults in front, kids in back. Watched dolphins swimming up the beach, only maybe 50 yards out.

Wed 12th: Another game of golf, at definitely the hardest course I’ve ever played. Water in play on every hole, and four holes with long carries across the marshes. Rich managed to seal the series victory with a 3&2 win.

Thu 13th: Went down to the beach and enjoyed standing at the break-point and having the surf crash over. Bliz enjoyed it very much, as did her Dad.

Fri 14th: Final game of golf. Played a scramble, we managed to score a 71, one under par, thanks to some outrageous saves. Unfortunately we missed the most important save, which would have been to catch Jacob as he jumped out of the golf cart as we approached the 18th tee at close to full speed. A nice case of road rash, and he significantly contributed to us bogeying the hole – I was pumped to try for a 69…

Sat 15th: Went to a Fall Festival, and had fun collecting shells on the beach. Had Em’s 5th birthday party – she was thrilled to have a second birthday – she only remembers the one from last year, and thus this was her second! She got a lovely horsey blanket from Grandma and Grandpa, and Disney Princess stuff from her family.

Sun 16th: Tried to go to church and failed, after Emily woke with a fever, throwing up. Made leaving the apartment by 10am interesting. Drove up to New Bern, NC, for a meeting on Tuesday.
