PS Alie's and my Anniversary was Day 4 hence the lack of update. ;)
UPDATE:
This isn't tonight but plans change. So I'm updating now. As I said above, we spent yesterday driving 8 hours to Hilton Head Island. We got there about 20 minuets ahead of what our GPS said we would. Which was really great but odd since the GPS is usually right on the money. We figured it was due to a speed limit change the most recent maps did not take into account. We only stopped for about 40 minutes for lunch, refueling and frosties!
We got into Hilton Head around 8:30pm. We then unloaded our stuff at Howard's condo and then went to Big Bamboo. This really neat restaurant modeled after a place in South Pacific founded by a WWII Pilot. Overall I enjoyed the atmosphere and food. Both had a lot of potential but fell just an inch short of what I'd consider excellent.
Then Alie and I got ice cream at the Ice Cream Cone and walked to the beach. We laid down got all sandy and looked at the stars. A very nice way to end the night.
Here are the current totals:
Been to 19% of the US!
Overall Average: 59.8mph
Moving Average: 64.0mph
Moving Time: 8h and 48m
Stopped: 37m 18s
Total time: 9h 26m
Gas Spent: Not exactly sure but so far we've gone 330mi on a 1/2 a tank.
Distance Traveled Today: 563.7mi
Distance to go: I'll never tell
Wrong turns: 0 (It was really simple all the way through.)
Where we go next? Was Fort Sumpter but thats another 2-3 hours of driving so instead its THE BEACH!
Matt and Alie,
ReplyDeleteMom and I just returned from the shore and read your blog. Great pix, too! Enjoy Hilton Head Island; keep an eye out for those pelicans. Let us know all about Fort Sumpter. Talk with you soon,
Love,
Dad and Mom
Hi there! Me again. Hope you are enjoying HHI and the beach! Were you able to ride bikes on the beach? Did you see any gators??? The weather here reminds me of BU graduation day! UGH!!! Relax and enjoy the sun and fun. Love You xoxoxoMom
ReplyDeleteHey Mom and Dad thanks for catching up on the blog. I'm really glad we are able to share this with you. As for Fort Sumter. We did not end up going. It would've been another 2-3 hours in the car and we did not want to drive that along after yesterday. So we'll have to come down again another time.
ReplyDeleteHi Mrs. H. We are certainly enjoying your condo here. Shipyard is lovely. The beach is amazing; the water is so warm and inviting! And we did see not one but two gators! I'm sorry to hear the weather is bad up there but it will get better. It always does.
