Ok, I attempted this once before and my computer crashed.So here is take 2 of our week at HHI for the first time. We were in a 2BR with me, DH, DD5,DS3, DD1, and my Dsis and DBIL.
My crew headed out on Friday and made it to NC then stopped. Saturday we stayed at Comfort Inn by Coligny beach. For those who need somewhere to stay on Saturday to save points, I recommend this. Its walking distance to the beach and served a hot breakfast. We enjoyed lunch at Market St Cafe and then hit the beach. For dinner, we went to Kenny B's French Quarter Cafe
OMG, THIS PLACE ROCKS!!!
I had the PoBoy and my hubby had the Grouper Melt and of course some Beignets. Very good! As a side note, the kids meals on the island are very expensive and vary from including drinks and a side to not including anything....
We checked into DVC on Saturday morning and our room was ready! We got settled and then took the kids to the pool and checked out the resort. For those who haven't been- it is AMAZING!! After a grocery stop and a much needed nap- we went to Sea Pines for a dolphin cruise that I got on Groupon. We had a blast, the kids had a ton of fun with the staff. After that, we went to Salty Dog. I was so nervous about this. I was afraid it was just a tourist trap. I was pleasantly surprised. The area was quite remote to get too. They have 3 restaurants all connected with some shops mixed in.The food was good and they had some kid activities. I thought Sea Pines was going to be like a big Strip Mall, but it soo wasn't.
We saw the lighthouse and to be honest, I was underwhelmed. It wasn't as big as I thought. They had some cute shops around there too.
After that, our DSis and hubby were arriving, so we went to meet them. That's alot packed into Day 2, but it was at a much different pace than our WDW trips...Loving the island and all the shade and seclusion.
Oh, and we saw 3 turtles and a Gator in the pond at Comfort Inn...
