Thanksgiving 2011
I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving! I was lucky enough to get to visit Hilton Head. If you are looking for a laid back beach vacation I can highly recommend Hilton Head. It turns out this place is only 4 hours from us.
Aunt Lizzy & Mauro flew in from Boston and were happy(?) to entertain me. I sure do love the Ipad Aunt Lizzy always brings with her. Though I hear she had to scrape a little of my breakfast eggs off when she left. And I am now worried that Angry Birds and Zombies are going to find me when I sleep. Maybe I need to spend a little less of my downtime fighting birds and zombies on my next vacation.
We lucked into some really nice weather while we were there and we were able to spend most of our time outdoors. One of our favorite activies was riding bikes. We were able to ride to 2 mini golfs and a breakfast place. My daddy thinks the 6 miles of biking a day made up for all the calories in the big omlette he ate.
We were lucky enough to have our lifelong friends the Formaneks join us. They rented a house a short bike ride away from us and were kind enough to have us over to eat several times. Their granddaughter Julia and I sure had fun thinking up all kinds of trouble fun. We kept them hoping while we were there so they are probably enjoy some much needed rest time now that we have left!
Enjoy the pics...

| I made Thanksgiving shortbread because I know Mauro loves it. Despite my heavy hand with the sprinkles there were none left to bring home. |
 |
| Julia & I were instant friends |
 |
| The pool was heated - bonus! |
 |
| Daddy and I went in the ocean every day. We seemed to be one of the few on the entire beach.....maybe because the air temps were only in the high 60's?! |
 |
| Can you believe I am the same kid who hated the beach 4 short years ago? |
 |
| I made a sand city one day. Unfortunately Aunt Lizzy's sand house got taken down by a tornado |
 |
| Julia taught me how to play Newfie Golf |

| Very disappointed that I didn't like pumpkin pie. I was so sure I would like it. |

| This was the hardest mini golf I have ever played - have you ever seen water holes like this on a mini golf course? |
 |

| We put a lot of miles on these bikes |
