HHI Recap

My grandmother's 80th birthday happened to fall right before Labor Day weekend, so the Laux side of the family got together to celebrate with a week in Hilton Head, South Carolina. Ryan and I made it up on Thursday night for a nice long weekend. It was especially special for us because it's been almost a year since we got married there and it was the first time we'd been back since the wedding.
We enjoyed lots of beach time with Bocci and bike rides, Ryan got to play golf and I got caught up with my family, which was a treat for me.My mom organized a tennis tournament on Saturday and we had 12 players competing for the grand prize. I haven't played competitively in a long time, but I loved it and had such an amazing time running around the courts (despite getting completely out of breath). I didn't win, but Ryan got second place and came home with an HHI Tervis Tumbler. A fantastic prize if you ask me!Even though we were there for three whole days, it still never feels long enough when I have a chance to hang out with my family. I love any opportunity I have to see them and only hope the visits can be more frequent! Thanks for a great time (and Happy Birthday Grammy!). xoxo

Happy birthday to your grandmother :)

That crab is so cute! I saw one just like it at the beach this past weekend as well, but it kept hiding so I couldn't snap a photo like you did.
