Keepin' it on the downlow(country) at HHI - New TR link - pg 31

If we weren't "points poor" I think we'd be doing a vacation at HHI this year. I'm always conflicted because on one hand, places like Hilton Head are SOOO relaxing but on the other hand...DISNEY WORLD!!!
 
Oh wow -- the Bluffton Farmer's Market looks amazing! We were talking about not cooking dinners in the unit this trip, but after seeing that pasta, I think we'll have to try it! Fresh pasta is one of my many food weak spots!

We didn't even try to use our DVC points for this trip, as we're saving for Aulani next year. We'll be at "another" timeshare resort. And even then, we were lucky to get a place for July.
 
Marlene graduates from high school this year, so we’re doing a NYC trip like we did for Lauren back a few years ago (before Adventures by Disney totally stole my itinerary). 3 nights RCI trade-out to the Manhattan Club. I don’t think I can go for the first day of that particular leg of the trip, but I may join her and Judy on the second day. That, and what we’ll do exactly while in NYC is still in the works. Then, a few days later, we all pack ourselves into the family truckster and drive down to WDW. We’ll be staying at the Boardwalk for 6 nights. From there, we drive back home with a 3-night stop at HHI. It’s going to be good! So, my DVC is getting me 12 nights’ accommodations this year (with some borrowing from next year, probably needless to say)…not too shabby!

That sounds like a great line up of accommodations. Very cool that Judy and Marlene are doing the NYC trip and even better that you are going to get to tag along for a couple nights.

Your Disney / HHI trip sounds perfect. HHI can be very addicting. And the Boardwalk - what's not to love????

I loved the Bluffton Market. I thought it was so cool. We went at the end of the day when a lot of the baked goods were half priced.

Those berries look fantastic.

What a great day all the way around.

Oh, and aren't the sunsets in HHI just spectacular?
 
Another great update Glenn! We have never been to Savannah even though we own a timeshare in HH. Some day. Loved the pictures and glad to hear the berries went well with the moscato. Could you taste the difference in saffron pasta? It does sound like something out of Ratatouille.

Congrats on another one out of high school. Amazing Marlene is that old. I remember her not being old enough to do AI and here she is graduating HS. Hopefully you get to tag along to NY for a day or two. I am heading up there in mid May for a long weekend. Love NYC.

Looking forward to your trip report to the BW. We own a few points there and are planning to be back next October for F&W. Love being able to walk or boat to two parks.
 


IMG_8026_zpsa2e7ac92.jpg

The first one was best- I liked the crispness of the colors, I guess.

Anyway, I think Moscato was the perfect choice to go with the berries. Good thing that was the one in the fridge, right? Your meme cracked me up. I've had those pairing moments before, and yeah, it's kinda just like that.

Farmers Markets are fun wherever they are it seems. I always have a hard time forking out the dough to buy much though. Everything always seems to ridiculously expensive. I understand that it's small farmers trying to do their best, but the price tag keeps me from buying much. :( I admit, a speicality pasta would be fun to try- those looked FABULOUS!!
 
In an area off to the side they had a lot of prepared foods and I was really tempted to get some barbecue or other enticing goodies, but we were nearing the end of our week in the villa and really needed to work on finishing off some of the groceries we’d bought. I compromised by getting some pasta to go with the meatballs I’d bought at Fresh Market on our first day. This pasta vendor had quite a nice selection to choose from:
Looks like a lot of good options. I love some homemade pasta!

But it would be very hard to turn down barbecue!

Oh, that reminds me though. There was a restaurant we passed while driving to the market that had a great name. It sounded like a place right out of one of @Captain_Oblivious' trip reports: The Squat ‘n Gobble. Wish I’d gotten a picture. Maybe this year I can try to get one.
That definitely does sound like something from one of his TR's! Not only do you need to get a picture, you need to eat there and report back on it!

Anyway, we didn’t stay too long, and on the way out I held up the camera to get a shot of the vendor tents along Calhoun Street.
Wow. That really is a big Farmer's Market. Well worth the effort to check it out. Especially if the pasta and berries are any good.

Oh my gosh people! We were afraid that the berries might make the wine taste tart, or vice versa, but they went together like peanut butter and jelly. Like sauerkraut and pork. Like bacon and…anything! It was something straight out of “Ratatouille”, I tell ya!
And apparently they were!

Does this count as my hundred-and-first shot of the Mercantile building? I’m not sure if it counts since you can’t really see the Mercantile itself.
I don't know. I quit counting a long time ago, so feel free to make it up as you go.

Maybe I hadn’t waited long enough after eating before going swimming after all.


DSCF0185_zps5a0fccaa.jpg
Hey! This isn't the waterproof camera! :rotfl2:
 
Over the BBQ stand? :sad2:


I know, I know. But we’d gotten BBQ earlier in the week.


Ok, you definitely have my number,


Eight six seven five three oh ni-ee-iine!


and I feel disappointed you didn't give the place a try. Then again, it sort of feels like the Yak and Yeti. Much as I struggle to eat at a place with "Yak" in the title, "Squat" might put up a similar barrier.


Exactly, I was having trouble getting past “Squat”. :rotfl: Maybe this year I’ll take another look.


You really know how to sell me one something, invoking a bacon comparison.


I was trying to come up with food-pairs, and was about to go with “beer and brats”, but then “bacon and anything” hit me.


I think I need to try this setup in my back yard sometime.


You’d have a popular backyard.


Muted sunset, but still nice shots.:thumbsup2


Wah wah, wah wah. Oh wait, you don’t mean Charlie Brown’s teacher, do you?


:eek: Nah - It is all good. Swim when you want.


I always figured that rule was just made up so that the adults could relax after their meal before they had to go watch the kids in the pool again.


Nice Day trip to Savannah and MEK will not steer you wrong. Great idea to stop at the Farmer's market on the way back. Looks like you picked up some yummy items.


It’s like another sight-seeing stop on the way back!


When we went a couple of years ago I had a tough time getting all the days we wanted (it was August). Try as I did I just couldn't get our last night but we were driving so that wasn't too big a deal. Then while we were there the kids kept saying how they wanted to stay longer. I went to the front desk and asked about staying an extra night. They told me to call DVC, which I did, and they offered me the extra night for cash or on points (perhaps I had to also call Disney direct to get the cash night, I kind of forget)!! I didn't understand, considering I couldn't get anything before the trip :confused3


I know that the cash inventory is completely separate from the point inventory, but maybe they can do some trading back and forth when the timing is that close. That’s better than having rooms go empty.


But hopefully you got what you wanted for June. I'm jealous! But I'm fairly certain we've decided we are going to try to go next April vacation. May be a little cooler but hopefully we'll still get a few beach days. And a trip to Savannah will be planned as we didn't make it there last time.


I did get what I wanted. I didn’t get it right when my 7-month window opened up, but it eventually worked out. I could see someone walking a reservation in front of me, because there’d be no availability right in front of my window and then would open up as time went on. They must have walked it beyond my dates, probably trying to get something over the 4th of July.


I think you can have some really nice days at Hilton Head in April. I’ve been looking at pictures on Instageo lately and people look like they’re enjoying outdoor activities -- golf, beach, pool.


If we weren't "points poor" I think we'd be doing a vacation at HHI this year. I'm always conflicted because on one hand, places like Hilton Head are SOOO relaxing but on the other hand...DISNEY WORLD!!!


I know what you mean! There just aren’t enough to go around! We have enough for about a week in a 1-bedroom at AKL once a year, but when I do these trade-outs to RCI for NYC, and a few days at Vero or HHI, and AKL…well, that works out to something less frequent than once a year! I’d really like to get a few points at HHI so that I could combine it with a WDW vacation and not have to worry about this 7-month booking stuff. But these danged kids want to go to college and get married and stuff like that and that’s really cramping my DVC budget for the next decade or so.


Oh wow -- the Bluffton Farmer's Market looks amazing! We were talking about not cooking dinners in the unit this trip, but after seeing that pasta, I think we'll have to try it! Fresh pasta is one of my many food weak spots!


Well if you just do that one, that’s not too difficult a meal to prepare. (Even I could swing that one! ;)) Just remember that the market is only on Thursdays.


We didn't even try to use our DVC points for this trip, as we're saving for Aulani next year. We'll be at "another" timeshare resort. And even then, we were lucky to get a place for July.


Now there’s a good reason to save up some points. We’ll get there one of these days, just not sure when!


That sounds like a great line up of accommodations. Very cool that Judy and Marlene are doing the NYC trip and even better that you are going to get to tag along for a couple nights.


I think it’s going to be an amazing couple of weeks! We still have to figure out some activities for NYC though -- Marlene nixed some activities that Lauren did on her trip, saying that they didn’t appeal to her (like the boat trip out by the Statue of Liberty). So, it’ll be interesting to see how that works out.


Your Disney / HHI trip sounds perfect. HHI can be very addicting. And the Boardwalk - what's not to love????


I’d like even more time at HHI, but who can afford to be on vacation for that long?? This’ll be our first time staying at the Boardwalk, so it’ll be a lot of fun exploring the resort! I know that we’ll get way too used to being so close to Epcot and DHS.


I loved the Bluffton Market. I thought it was so cool. We went at the end of the day when a lot of the baked goods were half priced.


Wow, bargains too?! That reminds me of when Marlene used to be on a swim team…the home teams would always have baked goods for sale and I soon learned to wait until the end of the meet to go and see what they had. They’d beg me to buy stuff for half-price.


Those berries look fantastic.


What a great day all the way around.


They were really good. And with the moscato, unbelievable.


A great vacation day!


Oh, and aren't the sunsets in HHI just spectacular?


We had them like that almost nightly when we lived in North Carolina too. If we ever get one like that here now, we say “Hey, that looks like a North Carolina sunset!”


Another great update Glenn! We have never been to Savannah even though we own a timeshare in HH. Some day.


Thanks. I would say that going to Savannah is not a “must do”, but if you feel like switching it up from the beach one day (maybe you got too much sun or something), then it’d be a great change of pace.


Loved the pictures and glad to hear the berries went well with the moscato. Could you taste the difference in saffron pasta? It does sound like something out of Ratatouille.


Hmmm, I’m trying to remember that saffron pasta. I think that it didn’t blow me away…probably the red sauce that I had from the meatballs (purchased earlier in the week) wasn’t the best sauce for it.


Congrats on another one out of high school. Amazing Marlene is that old. I remember her not being old enough to do AI and here she is graduating HS.


That’s right! Thanks for remembering that story! Time absolutely flies.


Hopefully you get to tag along to NY for a day or two. I am heading up there in mid May for a long weekend. Love NYC.


Looking forward to your trip report to the BW. We own a few points there and are planning to be back next October for F&W. Love being able to walk or boat to two parks.


Like I said to MEK just before your comment, it’s going to be an amazing couple of weeks. A whole lot of vacationing packed into a short time! I can’t wait to try out the Boardwalk…just hope I don’t end up wanting to buy points there (but I have a feeling I know how that’s going to turn out).


The first one was best- I liked the crispness of the colors, I guess.


Crispy colors -- check. Thanks!


Anyway, I think Moscato was the perfect choice to go with the berries. Good thing that was the one in the fridge, right?


Why yes, I just happen to have a bottle in the fridge. Really, I hadn’t planned on drinking it with anything. But wow, was it perfect.


Your meme cracked me up. I've had those pairing moments before, and yeah, it's kinda just like that.


It really is. I think I probably even said while we were enjoying the berries and wine, “this is just like in Ratatouille!!!” And yes, there were fireworks over my head.


Farmers Markets are fun wherever they are it seems. I always have a hard time forking out the dough to buy much though. Everything always seems to ridiculously expensive. I understand that it's small farmers trying to do their best, but the price tag keeps me from buying much. :( I admit, a speicality pasta would be fun to try- those looked FABULOUS!!


Yes, you’re in the west where those jams and jellies are made with hand-picked mountain-grown berries at about 10-cents per berry (maybe more?).


Looks like a lot of good options. I love some homemade pasta!


But it would be very hard to turn down barbecue!


That’s what Captain O said! I had a hard time bringing home too much more food; we needed to deplete what we had.


That definitely does sound like something from one of his TR's! Not only do you need to get a picture, you need to eat there and report back on it!


It does, doesn’t it!? We’ll see. I just looked at my schedule, I couldn’t remember what days of the week we’ll be there. But we leave on a Thursday, so we won’t be doing the market unless it’s on our way out of dodge.


Wow. That really is a big Farmer's Market. Well worth the effort to check it out. Especially if the pasta and berries are any good.


That picture was the main street (not to be confused with Main Street) of vendors. The section with the pasta and other food vendors was off to the side and not even in that picture.


And apparently they were!


Amazingly so.


I don't know. I quit counting a long time ago, so feel free to make it up as you go.


You don’t think I already was?


Hey! This isn't the waterproof camera! :rotfl2:


Aaaauughhh!
 


Glenn, trying to make the rounds before I leave on Sunday to get caught up again.

I love Farmers Markets and really have to remember to go to them more often (we have one a block from my work every other Thursday in the summer). I'm not a berry gal, but those do look good, as does your dinner.

I'm glad you got in some pool time.

More wonderful sunset pictures, Glenn.
 
Savannah looks beautiful. I want to go sometime soon. We were planning on going at the end of July but I just got a new position at work and I can't take any time off in July or August because of inventory. As my older son would say "thumbs down for that!" It'll probably be good to wait anyway, until the boys are older. Anyway, looks like it was a great day!

The farmers market looks fantastic! I love to go to farmers markets. When we first moved here a little over a year ago I went to the farmers market and it was the most pitiful thing I have ever seen. I just had to leave. There were three booths - all of them had yellow squash (about 4-10 each), some lettuce, and that was about it. I could not stop laughing. I still ask myself why we moved here. Almost every day I say "take me back to a city!"

That fresh pasta looks amazing though!

Getting caught-up is a forever-battle Kathy!

If you can find one that’s got some good, fresh stuff, they can be really great.


I prefer veggies over fruit, but paired with that wine, it was phenomenal.


I'm glad you got in some pool time.


Nothing like it after a hot day touring a city.


More wonderful sunset pictures, Glenn.


Thanks Kathy.

Inventories are fun! :rolleyes: I’ve audited a few. At times, even had to go out to a manufacturing plant at midnight to observe a meter being read. Nothing like it. Well, I hope the new position comes with some more pay, at least. And I hope you get that Savannah visit someday soon.

Ouch. Doesn’t sound like that market will be able to last for very long. Unless someone nearby is a big fan of yellow squash.


That fresh pasta looks amazing though!


Yes. I replied to someone else though, that I didn’t think the red sauce that I had (with the meatballs purchased earlier in the week) was the best choice to go along with the kind of pasta I got. Well, live and learn
 
Another beach day


Friday, June 27th was our last full day at Hilton Head and we didn’t have any plans other than to go to the beach, which is a pretty darned good plan, actually. We were up pretty early, around 6:30, but we just hung out watching the news and having breakfast. Speaking of which, here’s mine.


IMG_8064_zpscd4cd40c.jpg



I wanted to get a decent picture of the sign post, so I walked over to the pier.


IMG_8067_zps2c288a09.jpg



These are the seats outside of Tide Me Over. They’re like antique tractor seats, but also notice the Mickey-head bases.


IMG_8068_zpsa8634359.jpg



IMG_8069_zps31779141.jpg



What did I say about not being able to pass the Big Dipper Slide without taking a picture?


IMG_8071_zps55fbd9fa.jpg



These landscape guys were starting a little gardening project in one of the areas in-between buildings.


IMG_8072_zpsb359a2a4.jpg



IMG_8073_zps695f58a2.jpg



This looks like the most tranquil hammock spot ever.


IMG_8074_zpsed8f5a80.jpg



Apparently my walk over to take a picture of the signpost has turned into another mini-photo tour. I can’t resist.


IMG_8075_zps06d48073.jpg



IMG_8076_zpsa7dba4be.jpg



The front doors at the Live Oak Lodge have Mickey-head handles.


IMG_8078_zps8e847adf.jpg



Around 9 o’clock we got sunscreened, gathered up our beach stuff and rode over to the Beach House.


DSCF0186_zpsb4cbe765.jpg



I couldn’t remember if I’d already taken a picture of the front of the Beach House; I don’t think so.


DSCF0187_zps75e7fe50.jpg



We walked into the Beach House pool area so that we could fill our mugs before going out to the beach. I guess we hadn’t gotten to the beach that early previously during the trip because we discovered that since the drink refill station is in Signals, which doesn’t open until 11, there was no way to fill our mugs until then. Cast member Brad (who rewarded me with a chocolate for a correct trivia answer in the Mercantile earlier in the trip) happened to walk by just then and I asked him if there was any place to fill our mugs. He said there wasn’t, but asked what we’d like and brought us out a cup of Sprite and iced tea, with ice! What a nice gesture! I mentioned him by name when we filled out our survey after getting home. Thank you Brad, you rock!


This is the walkway to beach from the Beach House. The outside showers are right behind me; I never thought to get a picture of them for those of you curious to know about the facilities, but they’re like, you know, beach showers.


DSCF0189_zpsf9c94297.jpg



Perhaps this squirrel is Sandy Cheeks, from Spongebob.


DSCF0190_zps9f2a8e37.jpg



There are a few steps down to beach.


DSCF0192_zps71a61a82.jpg



DSCF0193_zps6fa2e712.jpg



Okay, I tried to come up with something clever to say about this picture and all I can think of is Isabella from “Phineas and Ferb” saying, “Whatcha doin?” (Whatcha dune)


DSCF0194_zps16b533ac.jpg



DSCF0195_zps761ccac3.jpg



The ocean was gorgeous this morning; very calm, with a surface like glass.


A couple of tourists were out in the water taking selfies like they were teenagers.


DSCF0197_zpsd4f6a59c.jpg



For most of the morning we just relaxed in our beach chairs, read, and jotted down trip notes.


DSCF0199_zps11f92e60.jpg



We ate our lunch around 12:30. Fried chicken from Publix, Judy’s “pepper” chicken, and grapes.


IMG_1548_zps60ece7aa.jpg



We got in the water for a little bit, but the skies were starting to look a little ominous, so we moved up to the Beach House at around 1 o’clock. It sprinkled a little, and we found some dessert in the form of an ice cream sandwich and a Dole Whip. Over the week, I completed the dessert trifecta: Dole Whip, Mickey Bar, and Mickey ice cream sandwich. Judy stayed true to the Dole Whip the whole time.


DSCF0205_zps3603d714.jpg



I wasn’t sure if I’d documented these areas of the Beach House when I took pictures earlier in the trip. There’s a pool table and ping pong table tucked into this corner.


DSCF0207_zpsd14ca1bc.jpg



And these kiddie fountains go off randomly. I saw a woman walk through here once and get a surprise that I can only describe as “getting bidet’d”.


DSCF0209_zps7981efc9.jpg



We hit the pool one last time and then left to go back to the suite around mid-afternoon.


Looking back over the chapter, this might have been one of the most boring for you as a reader. But it was so relaxing, it was one of the best as a vacationer.



Up next: Low Country Backyard

Ohhhhh, I can't wait to see your Low Country Backyard review. We went once and the wait was crazy long so we left. We've thought about going back but talk ourselves out of it.
 
BEAUTIFUL BEACH AND POOL pics!:thumbsup2 THANKS! NOTHING BETTER than a Mickey Sandwich and Dole Whip on a hot summer day!:woohoo:
CANNOT WAIT for our end of May trip!YAY!:dance3:
 
I think a beach day is the perfect way to spend your last day at HHI. I learned, after two trips there, that I definitely need an entire week to do everything I want to do. 5 nights is never enough, so next time its 6 or 7. I am eyeing up next spring for a possible return. ::yes::

I love how hard packed the beach is. Great for running and bike riding.

Yay for all your themed snacks. Why choose one when you can have all of them?

YOU ARE GOING TO LOVE STAYING AT THE BOARDWALK. And your fears will come true - it will spoil you. I have stayed there more than any other resort for just that reason. If it's available I book it or I waitlist it. :thumbsup2

That's my anniversary! I wouldn't mind a plan like that for that particular date, either.

Well. Um. You know, if you have to explain it...

I just hope they were using the waterproof cam--Oh no!!

Judy stayed true to the Dole Whip the whole time.

I knew I liked Judy.

CANNOT WAIT for our end of May trip!YAY!:dance3:

It's getting close! And you're obviously getting psyched! With good reason -- you'll love it!

Sounds like a perfectly lovely day.

It was Darla! Thanks.

I know, there's hardly enough time for relaxin'. That's why I'm so glad that we got our waitlist for a 3rd night there on this June trip. 2 nights would mean only 1 full beach day, which is enough time to get a sunburn and that's about it.

I love how hard packed the beach is. Great for running and bike riding.


Agreed! ::yes::

Yay for all your themed snacks. Why choose one when you can have all of them?

I probably should've gotten those and a dole whip each time.

YOU ARE GOING TO LOVE STAYING AT THE BOARDWALK. And your fears will come true - it will spoil you. I have stayed there more than any other resort for just that reason. If it's available I book it or I waitlist it. :thumbsup2

:dancer: I am ready to be spoiled.

I'm really excited to explore the place. The only time I've spent there was when we went to Flying Fish, so didn't see very much of the resort at all.
 
That's my anniversary! I wouldn't mind a plan like that for that particular date, either.

Sorry, but Judy's busy that day. ;)

Very cool.

I'm sure these seats exhibit the luxury that Andy experiences in the cab of his tractor also.

Curses! Foiled again!

It kinda stinks, quite frankly. You've paid for these refillable mugs, but can't get a drink at the beach until 11? Not cool.

Nice work, Brad! That's how it's done.

Yes. Now just follow me around Brad.

Well. Um. You know, if you have to explain it...

I knew I didn't have to explain it to you. You're the biggest Phineas & Ferb referencing guy in the entire tri-state area.

I just hope they were using the waterproof cam--Oh no!!

Well, it was time to upgrade my phone anyway.

I knew I liked Judy.

:thumbsup2


:bitelip:

Well, not every ride can be Space Mountain. You have your Hall of Presidents, too. :rotfl:

:idea: They should put an interactive queue in that puppy.

Neither can we. Carry on.

:sad2: Ok, as much as I just want to roll my eyes at this one, it's pretty creative. Nicely done.

The better goal would be to complete the dessert trifecta in one sitting. Now you have a challenge for next time. :thumbsup2
