In the heat of the South

After all this hard work (learning about the history) in Virginia we deserve some vacation now! Where could be a good place to relax? Hilton Head Island in South Carolina!
We have never before driven so far in the South of the USA and we have never before spend this kind of vacation. I mean: beach, pool, ocean, sun (a lot of sun!). We are more the Maine-type, so it is a completely new experience for us.
Our son loves it! Especially to swim in the ocean, he is lying sometimes in the water like in his bath tub at home (my husband, too).
My favourite place here is in the deckchair in the shade, with a breeze (without it you are melting…). I even learned here to like ice-latte, usually I prefer just hot coffee, but at this temperature…
No, that is not coffee in this picture...
The most impressing thing here, besides the gorgeous white beaches(!) and palms, are the pelicans flying above our heads. That is really something!
Ps. By the way: As we arrived here there was a wedding on the beach! Very romantic!
