Vacation in Hilton Head and Savannah

Last week we went on our big family vacation with the Hutchins side of the family. Grandma Sue rented all of us a huge beautiful house right near the beach. Almost the whole family was there. Tobin and I went for the whole week with my parents and Jessica. Clark and Jared had to work and met us half way through the week.

I am afraid that I took most of my pictures on Jessica's really nice camera and I still have not gotten those pictures from her, but here are some of my own that I took.


The beach was very pretty especially in the evening. Tobin loved playing in the sand and in the tide pools but didn't love the ocean until the very last evening. We rode bikes a lot and even got a baby trailer for Tobin. It was the best part of the vacation (besides fun with family).


Tobin with his Daddy and Grandpa finally getting into the ocean after a whole week of hating it.


Jessica is very daring with bikes. She and Jenny ride like this in NYC, I didn't care for it.


This is basically what Tobin did all week - throw stuff into the pool and play with his golf clubs.


Our cousin Cloe learned to ride a bike without training wheels that week as well. She was biking every where!
Tobin got a much needed hair cut from Aunt Nancy. She is the only one that can do it without a lot of crying.


At the park with Grandpa. We could ride our bikes all over the island and there were great bike paths that were flat. It was a biking heaven!


Cloe tried a ride with Tobin, but didn't want to go again after he kept messing with her hair and pulling on her shirt.


There was lot's of reading going on all week. Very relaxing, which is unusual for the Hutchins. There is usually always some major physical labor going on in the form of farm work.


Tobin ate the best when one of his cousins fed him. Ben was the best at it.


Clark and I rode our bikes to a ruin of a pre-Civil War era house.

We had such a nice time and it was sad to say goodbye to all of our wonderful family. I will post more pictures when I get them from Jessica (no pressure Jess). We took the big family picture with her camera as well.

Savannah

On Saturday we all had to say goodbye and go our separate ways. Since Clark's birthday was that week, Dad took our little group to Savannah for the day and night. Clark loves Savannah because of the beautiful architecture. We went for a weekend last year and loved it (though it is also really hot in June).

We stayed on an island across from historic Savannah so all we had to do was take a little boat over and walk around the beautiful historic areas. Tobin was not a huge fan of the boat, but felt better as long as he carried a golf ball around. It is almost like a lovey blanket for the week.

Eating at the famous Pirate House where Stevenson got the idea for his book Treasure Island.


The birthday boy himself! Tobin thought it was so funny when he would do this!



We did lots of sight seeing and a house tour (Clark's favorite thing to do) on Saturday and Sunday.




Uncle Jared carried Tobin around for a little bit to give our backs a break.


On the tour bus. That is what Tobin thinks about learning GA history.

We had a lot of fun and poor Tobin was so tired everyday from all of the fun. He got pretty depressed on Monday when he realized that we really weren't going back to Hilton Head and spend time with his cousins. He has been in a bad mood all week because of it. Oh well, all vacations must come to an end.
