After a troublesome start (2 missed connections and a 13 hour travel day), our trip to Hilton Head was a relaxing success. Marlo was a demon on the first couple of planes and an angel thereafter. Hayden, as usual, was my good traveler. Ben and I were grouchy and pretty much homicidal by the time we made it to Atlanta, but we recovered admirably.
This trip had some firsts. Hayden caught his first fish and rode his first horse. Marlo popped her first tooth and had her first bath in a "big bathtub." And this year, no one had shingles, no one broke into our house in Minneapolis, and no bridges collapsed! As always we ate good food and played good cards (or bad cards, depending on the game and the night). And as always, a good time was had by all. We just wish the country were a bit smaller so we wouldn't have to travel so far!
Hayden also had his first kayak ride, in a double with Grandpa. He had a great time and didn't tip it over.
