Roller blades!!!
The night before I left last month I had a little too much grape vodka and decided I needed to have a crock pot waiting for me when I got home. Well it was and we have used it quite often. It is perfect because we both work so late. Need to stop saying "we"
That was one good alcohol induced purchase

I knew you would like that roller blade story!
I can think of many worse alcohol induced purchases than a crock pot. I mean a crock pot has multiple uses (like making spiked apple cider) and it WAS food and wine, after all. Grape vodka - nice.
Should I be afraid to ask who "we" refers to.
Does the name start with "S"?
WOW,wow,WOW those sunset pics were outstanding!!! I like the look of the resort. I think the combo of rustic and beachy. Shadow is one cute dog! Great updates-except for the bird one ha ha. Congrats on ur 9,000 post-I am trying to get to 6,000 myself
Thank you! I'm so glad you like the pics and the resort was awesome. I bet your girls would have a ball there. I could definitely see them getting into all the resort activities and, of course, Shadow. What a sweetie.
It probably is pretty silly to get excited about 9000 posts. After I posted that I thought to myself, "yeah - get a life Mary Ellen".
MEK, the sunset pictures are stunning. Not that the others aren't good, but I just love sunset pictures.
Thanks Kathy! I love a good sunset myself and I did manage to get some more later in the trip!
I never pay that much attention to my post count; then you mentioned yours and where you were at, so I looked at mine. I think I spend way TOO much time on the DIS.
I feel like I spend way too much time here too, but my post count feels like its stuck. You are definitely the master.
Wow, those sunsets are beautiful! You took some great pictures.
Thank you! There are some gorgeous sunsets on the intercoastal. Just amazing views!
That sounds like some hard sand.
Okay, so is the Disney resort one place and access to the beach another? I am not very familiar with their Hilton Head resort and have not done my homework.
I would love to go there some day.
Yes - I didn't do a very good job of explaining that but the resort itself in more inland and actually abutts the Broad Creek and a marina. The beach house is about 1.5 miles away. Disney runs a shuttle there, you can drive, or even ride a bike. It's a very pretty path. I don't think there was any land available for purchase on the beach or maybe Disney knew they wanted other water activities at the main resort.
It's a beautiful resort and a wonderful place to visit. I'm so glad I tried it. What a winner.
I knew you couldn't resist "noodling" especially since you became such an expert during your last trip to WDW!
Far from an expert, but noodling does have its benefits. For me all that flailing around has to burn off some calories - right????
I am really enjoying this TR. The only thing better would have been if DW and I had been able to be there with y'all. Through your pics and explanatory treatise (don't be impressed...I had to look it up!), HHI is turning out to be just as I had hoped it to be. DW and I will definately have to make a trip there in the future. The spanish moss laden oak trees are just like where I grew up in Natchez, MS and I bet the antebellum homes you saw in Savannah will be as well. Keep up the great TR!!
I'm so glad you are enjoying because I really hope you and DW get a chance to visit. It's such a unique resort. I really loved it.
When I used to be into bike riding I always wanted to ride on the Natchez Trace. It sounds like such a cool road. I bet its gorgeous. I'll keep that on my bucket list for now, but I doubt I will ever be in good enough shape again to bike it.
You know - when we were leaving HHI I did see I sign that said something like "Y'all come back".
explanatory treatise - yes I was impressed!
Im glad you still had the HHI pics on the memory card!!! That would have been terrible!!
I would have been SO upset to have lost the HHI pictures. Most aren't even edited yet, so that's why they aren't backed up.
Those topiaries are too cute! But, I almost feel like bambi looks angry!
I better go back and look at that Bambi. I didn't notice that and its the only pic I took of the topiaries. Maybe its the angle?
Lol that Nick asked where his clothes were!!!! Brings back memories of May!!
It sure does, doesn't it? But at least your kids are young. Nick is 17! Sheesh!
I admit that I said awwww to shadow before you even said to!! I have to agree though, I dont really believe that Shadow is 15! She certainly doesnt look 15! Dogs that are 15 tend to look old
I would like the real story on Shadow. Maybe I should google it some more, although I'm sure Disney will never tell since it would ruin the magic.
Wooo hooo!!! Congrats on 9000 posts!!!
Who's counting? Me?
The beach at HHI looks fabulous!!!! Love it!!!
Your sunset pics are so beautiful!!! Amazing!!! That looks like a fabulous restaurant!!
I have to admit, you're making me think about a trip to HHI!!
HHI was a pretty fabulous beach. I think you and your family would love it. It's got that Disney flair without the theme park rush. That makes it a great down time vacation. Plus there are so many wonderful places to eat, shop, and explore.
Glad you like the sunset pics!
I also, of course, love that there was noodling!!
See, you would be right at home. No Owner's locker, but plenty of noodles for purchase.
It really is true that sleep deprivation causes poor coordination. 
And since I will always be a point miser, saving a few extra points can never hurt, right????
