Hilton Head 2004

Home ] Up ]

We went to Hilton Head, SC for a weeklong vacation in late July 2004.  We had a great time.  We stayed at Sea Pines and enjoyed a nice relaxing vacation.  The kids had a lot of fun running on the beach and exploring the ruins of an old plantation.  Christine made many friends and built sand castles while Nick and his mom swam in the ocean.
