INTRODUCTION: We all missed Hilton Head in May 2020, and I think Pete
& Judy’s last trip was in 2018. Pete & Judy are both retired now, so they’ll extend their trip with a few days in Savannah before flying
back to NJ. They’re flying into Savannah, arriving just after noon
on Wednesday.
Chris’ family booked a room in southern Georgia for
the night before arrival, so they won’t have an all-day trip on
Wednesday. Originally it was only going to be Chris & Ari, and they
would have come up and spent the night with us on Tuesday, then we’d
ride up in my car. When Amanda was able to get the time off, that
plan no longer worked since 5 of us and all our stuff wasn’t going to
fit into 1 car!
Besides our stuff, we’re bringing a beach umbrella
for the sun-sensitive, and chairs for Pete, Judy, and Chris or Amanda
(plus our chairs). Also, I have 2 coolers – one to bring to the
beach, and the other with a couple bottles of wine and some food
we’re bringing with us.
We all look forward to our favorite restaurants. SB, Pete, Judy & I
are big on the Serg happy hours. Last trip it was a little bit of a challenge since happy hour starts before Ari was ready to have
dinner. Hopefully now that he’s almost 5 rather than almost 3, that won’t be an issue. Being such a large group will be a challenge – no
way around that. All the more reason to show up at the start of
happy hour, or risk not finding a table(s) to accommodate the group
of 7.
Our tradition on the first night is Poseidon, and Pete & Judy are
already talking about that. Other than that, I’m not sure which
Serg restaurants we’ll get to enjoy, as 5 nights isn’t enough to hit
all the ones we love. I know Amanda feels strongly about Frankie
Bones, and I agree. It’s not scenic, but the food is excellent – hopefully we can do a late lunch there. Skull Creek Dockside in my
opinion is a step above Skull Creek Boathouse next door, and Pete &
Judy haven’t been there so we definitely need to hit that for happy
hour outside (omigod bacon hushpuppies are soooo good).
We did the comedy magic cabaret with Pete &
Judy – that was fun, but I have no idea if they want to repeat it.
Ari wouldn’t be able to attend though. They allow well-behaved
teens, but Ari couldn’t pass for a teen yet even though he got to
engaged to my friend Holli (with a play doh ring) at the Treehouse
Villas recently.
The plans so far are: Wednesday 5/5: Drive to HHI, Poseidon Thursday
5/6: Beach, Dockside? Friday 5/7: Beach, Frankie Bones? Saturday
5/8: Beach, any Serg Sunday 5/9: Beach, any Serg Monday 5/10:
Hilton Head Diner, Drive to Gainesville
