Exploring Hilton Head Island

Of course, it was too good to be true. At 8am, the sun was coming through the blinds, the maids were knocking on our door, and the receptionist was calling us to kick us out! We milked our stay for as long as we could (we left at 11am) and moved to a smaller, more reasonable space.

We took our first day to explore the island. We walked up the spiraling wooden staircase of the light house  (kind of hidden behind the trees)and explored the small boutiques along the way. We sat down for lunch and went straight for the seafood – a light salad, peel-and-eat shrimp,fried shrimp, raw oysters, and a few bowls of she-crab soup. She-crab soup reminds me of New England clam chowder. There’s a lot of butter, cream, and a few extra special ingredients – crab and crab roe.
