Hilton Head Arrival

We have arrived in beautiful Hilton Head; the kids are in bed, and I have the sole five minutes of free time to write a blog that I have gotten all day. Also, please note that I'm blogging via my dad's netbook, which has already proven extremely handy on this trip. Unfortunately you have to be a hobbit to type properly on it, so please forgive any typos. Sincerely, Bilbo B.

Yesterday we got to see our friends The Zottis who were with us on our adoption trip to China. It was great to meet the rest of their family, and they reminded us why it's always good to drop in on friends of Italian ancestry around dinner time. I have a special place in my heart for creamy sauces and garlic, and dinner last night was fantastic on both counts.

The Zotti girls ran Grant ragged, and at the end of the night, he was VERY upset at having to say goodbye. Luckily we're seeing them again in a few weeks, so he won't have to wait long. Here's a pic of two Jiangxi girls and their respective moms.

After a night's rest, we made our way on down to Hilton Head. We had a good day of driving...light traffic and sleepy kids. Grant became a spoke's person for Chic-Fil-A at lunch. One of the employees informed us that she thought Grant would become a model. Oy.

Once on the island, we met up with my parents who are joining us on this trip. We had a nice meal at the Wild Wing Cafe, followed by a brief stop at the pool. Before bed, Erin asked Grant if he was enjoying vacation. His response -- "Mommy, can we maybe go to the pool again?" It should be a good week.
