It rained most of last night, but we woke to a beautiful sunny morning. Of course it would be that way for us to leave, but I will say that it is a lot easier to pack the car when it's NOT raining than when it is!
We had breakfast and then packed up to leave. One thing I wish we had was bigger plastic bags for the trash; I cannot believe how much trash we had when we were packing up this morning! The bags in the kitchen can are really small. We filled two of them and then as I was looking for a better way to take our trash out, I remembered we had some paper bags from the grocery store that we were able to use for the rest. One other thing we were wondering about that we couldn't find is a place to put recyclables - which is why we had some much "trash" to go out this morning (empty milk jugs, etc.).
There were several other families leaving today, which didn't surprise me because it's Friday and points go up for the weekend. But for those who are staying this weekend, it is supposed to be absolutely beautiful.
And that's it. We left from the resort, stopped at Barnes and Noble for DS#2 to spend his Christmas money that he just got from his uncle, and at the Nike Outlet store for DH to get some new socks and running shorts.
Final thoughts -- If you've not considered Hilton Head for a vacation destination, it's a good place to visit. It's a relaxing place to be and the Disney touch is definitely in full force. The CMs are wonderful, the recreation staff is great with the children (and families) and there is nothing in a hurry. We will definitely keep HHI in our rotation of
DVC resorts to stay at. And we especially loved having the time with my parents with us; having the 2BR (our first time in a 2BR) really spoiled us even with six people in the unit; we'll likely consider how to use our points even at WDW for a 2BR unit!
Thanks again for all your kind comments.
