For the second annual family vacay (twice makes it an annual thing, right?) the Beckers headed south to Hilton Head Island for a weeklong fest of visiting, eating and slowing life down to beach-speed. If there's one thing Beckers enjoy it's eating. We have a saying of "Eats like a Becker" that can be applied to all the guys in the family, baby elephants and hordes of locusts.
With no responsibilities aside from making sure the kidlets didn't float away in the ocean I spent my time working on my speciality - napping! Seriously, I'm almost 8 months pregnant with 2 small boys and a full time job, naps have been in short supply, but oh so needed! When awake I spent my time doing my other love; pointing my camera at those I love!
My recs for what to do in Hilton Head:
- Wake up early enough to take a walk on the beach. Not a problem when you've got littles with you!
- Have lunch at Coco's on the Beach - my husband, Drew, dreams of the fried bologna sandwich the whole year. I love the beach bar feel and chili cheese dogs.
- Lay in the sand, close your eyes and feel the stress melt away.
- Night beach walks!!! I can't even tell you how much we enjoyed these. Get there just before the sun goes down and hug a loved one, the feeling is just good for the soul. Note: add glow sticks to the youngest of your crew so they're easy to spot running wild down the sand and right up to the waves.
