Hilton Head: A wonderful family getaway

This past week, our little family went on a getaway to Charleston and Hilton Head, SC. Here's what I learned:

A one and a half hour flight is enough. Piper has never been a child who knows how to sit still and I have to say, boarding time plus flight time plus exiting the plane = just shy of the amount of bag of tricks I have for Piper. So basically, it's short flights from now on.

Stay at the place with a kitchen. Hilton Head has a ton of options of where to stay. However, we stayed at the Omni Resort because the rooms were spacious and had mini kitchenettes. We made a quick stop at Whole Foods and Piper was set. Waffles for breakfast, fresh almond milk in hand, and a sink to wash out sippy cups. Hooray!!

Get the babysitter. Babysitters are scary for me, but after a very simple vetting process (does she have rescue dogs-yes? YES!) through an island nanny company, we were off to have FOUR hours of sweet freedom to swim and frolicking about the grounds. It was well worth it...and Piper was surprisingly cool with it.

Balcony. Balcony. Balcony. Where else will you go when baby girl goes night night?! To your refuge. Your safe place. The balcony!

Here are some of my favorite pics:
