Day five was spent exploring Disney’s Hilton Head Island Resort. We played corn hole, basketball, and other fun outdoor activities at the beach house. We enjoyed a cozy lunch at the Hilton Head Diner and ordered Mello Mushroom pizza for dinner.
We were all looking forward to the highlight of day four, a pontoon boat rental on the inter-coastal. We spent two hours navigating the waters down to Harbour Town. We finished off the evening with homemade grilled fajitas and dessert at Kilwin’s Ice Cream.
Day Three at Hilton Head Island saw the arrival of Emily’s brother Glen, and her parents Kee and Colonel. We visited Harbour Town in the morning to see the Lighthouse and shopping area. After Emily’s parents arrived in the afternoon we all went out to dinner at the Skull Creek Dockside Restaurant. We ended the evening at Disney’s Hilton Head Island Resort playing our favorite, Hit or Miss board game.

We were all late to bed the night before as we had a fairly eventful travel day, so I quietly made my… Read more »

Our plan was to take our time driving back from Miami to Orlando, enjoying the sights, sounds, and eats along the way. Before we could do… Read more »
I awoke at my customary 6:30 am to the sound of sleep breathing surrounding me. We had finally arrived at the day that the boys were most waiting for, Marvel Day at Sea. Although this was the theme of this five night cruise, you would have been hard pressed to find any Marvel themes during the first four days. It… Read more »
After wrapping up our third day on the Disney Magic at the island of Nassau, I wrote about how blogging about our vacations really makes me appreciate all of the fun that is packed into a day on the cruise.

I was up at my normal 6:30 a.m. as the rest of the gang was still fast asleep. I plopped down at a table on deck nine with my portable keyboard and enjoyed some morning blogging as the ship approached the island of Nassau in the Bahamas. I was reflecting on the previous two days, appreciating the fact the the… Read more »
After a rather unusually hectic embarkation day on the Disney Magic, we were crossing our fingers that everyone would wake up healthy and ready to hit the ground running (or at least walking) in Key West, FL. Hunter and I managed to get up around 5 am and couldn’t get back to sleep, which in turn woke Emily up, so… Read more »
