HHI Adoration & Information 2009

Another good place to eat with fresh seafood is Hudson's. It was a million times better than The Old Oyster Factory and the seafood seemed fresher. We have eaten at Kingfisher a number of times as well and it was OK at best. I wouldn't go out of my way to eat there but it is close to the resort.

For those of you suffering at home a few pictures from last nights camp fire:

Grandma shark do do

The smores were delicious and the CM's were beyond wonderful:

OMG I am tearing up! I CANT WAIT!!!!!!!!

Say... how are the Seekters and other biting bugs? Do we need as much bug spray as we do sun screen? My guess is yes, with all the rain there...

Hello from poolside. This resort is awesome! We may inquire about adding on some points here.
We had a good ride from PA with a stop overnight in NC.
The pool water is really warm and DS has gone down the side many times. Tomorrow is beach day and fireworks night. We did all our shopping at the Piggly Wiggly. My nephews are getting a kick out of the name of the store.
For some reason I can't pick up the internet in our room. The pool is a few steps from our room so here I am catching up on reading. I'm very happy with our 2br. It is nice and big. Last yr we stayed in a studio.
We had a brief downpour today and it was when I was riding bike. I was soaked. LOL.
We signed up for a bunch of activities. I'm looking forward to the dolphin tour on Wed morning. I'm hoping to see as many dolphins as last year.
I had better get back to the room now. I will check in again.

Most HH visitors don't bother with Daufuskie but it is a neat place.
Marsh Side Mama's is such a cool place to grab a beer, shrimp n' grits and listen to live music. This is an old school dive that you would be hard pressed to find anywhere else. You would think you're on a movie set. Dogs wander in and out and they had a huge hog that lived under the shack until it was too fat to fit from all the beer shared by patrons. Mama's is not for everyone but it's a place you'll never forget.

We did stop at Marshside mamas but decided to eat at the Dirt Road Diner!

It has been intermitten rain ever since we got here on Saturday night and there are pools of water around the resort. The forcast is calling for more rain. Now the biters haven't bothered me too much, but my poor DD has a few too many so be sure and bring something.

Carla,

We are in 22 and the internet was okay and then went out at 5PM today. The tech guy came and had to go upstairs to our neighbors unit to reconnect the wifi.

It never started working again even though we had an excellent connection according to the computer.

I am currently sitting in Big Murgies Den to get caught up and say hello to everyone.

My DMom and I started the day off at Signes Bakery. We had the key lime pound cake and the chocolate cream cheese pound cake. Both were YUMMY. I am already planning to head back there again. Maybe tommorrow morning.

My DMom and I did the Mickey Tie Dye today. (One of the kids was supposed to go with me, but lost track of time and didn't show up). I think the kids that were there did a much better job with the t-shirts; they were more creative) Once again the CM's were awesome.

Later we checked the kids in to the Teens Night Out and the adults headed to dinner. Although it was a long drive we ate at the Salty Dog. The food was very yummy. We had oysters on the half shell, she crab soup, red snapper, and the captains platter.

Hey everyone. We are in building 30 this week. My daughter is the asian girl to the right of the cast member in the second picture down. Dallastxcpa, I think I spoke with you this morning. We spent the day at the beach today and it was absolutely wonderful. We took part in the sand sculpting class and then enjoyed the pool party this evening. What a day. We are all exhausted. Anyway, this is our first summer here, after several off season visits. Summer is great. We will definitely plan to return next summer.

 

[Laurabearz]

Hey Marky!! Question for you... Did you like the sand sculpting? We are thinking about doing it and wondered if it was any good.

Thanks!!

Carla,

I know it is on Arrow Road and you take a right when going from the resort. I had to go out the other night after dark and tried to get by with out TOM TOM and well...... I can't navigate on this island. I had to turn the GPS on to get back to the resort. It took me awhile with my little detour. Needless to say my DMom told me not to do that again as she was worried.

 

[KristiP]

We got a TomTom to and we will be trying it out for the first time on this trip. I am so ready we are so close to time and half way packed my goal is to finsh packing today. I love seeing pics. of people who are on trips there now.

 

[dallastxcpa]

I will be posting more pictures today I promise. I have Mickey Tye Die, Marsh Tour, BBQ, Pool Party, Resort, and Fireworks pictures. I am currently uploading but I took over 300 pictures in the last few days and it is taking a while to upload.

I have the kayak tour in 30 minutes so when i get back from that all my pictures should be in photobucket.

On a side note the Pool Party and Fireworks last night were sooooo much fun. I will post details later today for all of you that will be here later this summer.

Turn right on 278 as you exit the Shelter Cove area - Arrow road is the the last light before the traffic circle (about 3 miles) - turn right on Arrow and Signe's will be less than 1/2 mile on the right.

The fireworks were great last night! The resort seems pretty full this week and the beach has been wonderful. Surf temperature is 78-79.
