Hilton Head

In the beginning of June we began our summer travel schedule with a trip to Hilton Head Island, SC. Thankfully we (actually, Chris) drove through the night so our sweet, little boy traveller was a champ :-) The week was packed with too many fun evens to document, but here are a few snapshots of our wonderful memories.

10 minutes before we left for our 12 1/2 hour adventure we were blessed with witnessing an entire rainbow over our street!! Wow!! Thank you, Lord, for the beauty you allow us to enjoy!!
Somebody looks like he just woke up. Here's our champ eating his McD's hotcakes after a 12 snooze (i.e. trip).
Flamingo Doughnut: It has become a favorite to visit this amazing doughnut shop when we're in Hilton head. I can honestly say they make the best doughnuts I have ever tasted (I bet they're the best in the world!). We were all smiles that morning :-)
Mark had no idea was his taste buds were about to encounter...

Can you say "Yum"??
"The best thing I ever ate..."
Family Worship: Each morning we begin with family worship. It's an amazing way to begin each day.
Who needs a Little Tikes playhouse?? -- an empty cabinet is just as fun!!

Date night: Mark's Mimi and Papa graciously watched our Mark for us while we went out for a night on the town. It's always a splendid time being with the love of my life :-)

The Wreck of the Salty Dog: So we voted that this year we had to eat at Hilton Head's famous "Salty Dog" restaurant; however with 2 pregnant women and a wait of over an hour, we made the decision to visit "the Wreck of the Salty Dog" instead. Great decision!!!---We had our own balcony overlooking the harbor and the same delicious menu as the Salty Dog.

Bike riding with Papa: One of my favorite family activities is bike riding. Having our little boy join us makes it extra special. Throughout the week Mark got to join his Papa on many bike riding adventures. Mark got to witness sunrises over the ocean from the back of his Papa's bike, and Mama and Daddy got to enjoy several relaxing breakfasts without a child :-)

Why the name "Drinking From Our Saucer"?

The full phrase is "I'm drinking from my saucer because my cup is overflowing." It came from Chris's grandmother who would say it when she would get overwhelmed with her blessings. Through the years the phrase has been shortened to "I'm drinking from my saucer!" We thought it was a perfect fit for a blog that documented God's many blessings to us.
