BEACH! - day 3

Today on the beach, the breeze was not quite like it was yesterday...it was pretty hot! So we stayed under our tent most of the time which was fine with us, we love it under that thing on the beach! Emma wore her floppy hat today to keep the sun off her face. I told her it would keep the sun out of her eyes so whenever she took the hat off and wanted it back on, she would point to it and say "eyes!" So cute!




We took some pictures of her on the beach today to add to her 21month pictures we took last night. She was such a cutie in her hat! We took her down to the water to sit for awhile but she was not a fan, and it was too hot to stay at the water very long anyway...




Emma must have been extremely tired this afternoon. We went in for her nap around 12:30 and she didn't get up til 3:30! By that time, we didn't have much time to go back out because we were going to The Salty Dog and to Harbor Town tonight so we had planned on leaving a little early anyway....so out we went for the evening!



We went to The Salty Dog in South Beach Marina and we each got a t-shirt, it's tradition! Then we drove through Sea Pines looking at the most beautiful beach homes on our way in to Harbor Town. Harbor Town is my favorite place in Hilton Head. The famous lighthouse is there and I just love the atmosphere around the harbor with all the shops, restaurants, and music! We ate dinner at the Crazy Crab in Harbor Town, we'd never eaten here before but always heard it was really good and luckily we got a table right away!! Much easier when there are only 3 people in your party :). They brought out wonderful hush puppies and we got a crab cake as an appetizer. 



We decided to try the steamed pot for our entree which consisted of lobster, crab legs, shrimp, and oysters. We both were not thinking too clear because that is exactly what came to our table. A pot of steamed seafood! It freaked me out a little because I haven't been eating seafood too awful long and wasn't expecting it to come out almost looking live to my table!


I dont care for oysters and the rest of it tasted kinda slimy so next time, I think we will watch what we are ordering a bit closer! After dinner, we walked to the top of the lighthouse for an absolutely incredible view! 





It was a great evening and so sad we had to go back to the hotel and pack up our stuff...but first we took a walk on the beach for awhile and Emma seemed to like it the most tonight she has the whole time we'd been here! Can't wait to see the ocean again when we come back in September with my Grandma!
