First Family Vacation | Burkes Beach

After our short lived trip to Savannah, we went back to our cute cottage to grab some lunch, and let Harper take a much-needed nap. We thought it would be fun to take her to the beach that evening after some rest. It wouldn't be too hot, and probably not as many people either.  She had dipped her toes in the ocean when we went to Botany Bay Plantation, but she hadn't received the full beach experience quite yet. So, after what seemed to be an hour packing everything up and loading everything into the car (all that just for a short trip to the beach), we drove to the island and lucked up finding Burkes Beach. It wasn't nearly as busy as the other Hilton Head beaches, and the walk wasn't too bad either.  We decided just to take her straight to the ocean and let her play and test it out, because soon enough it was going to be bed time, and you don't want to be out in public with my child past 7pm. :) Seeing her sweet face light up and her look of amazement from the second she put a toe in the water, made all the trouble of packing and dragging our stuff to the beach well worth it. Vacation with a baby is probably the least relaxing vacation of your entire life. But their happiness makes it all worthwhile.
