Every year around the 4th of July, I meet up with family on my mom’s side in Hilton Head, South Carolina for a mini family reunion. We usually rent two houses right on the beach, and spend the time either on the beach, on a golf course, or just recently, on my Aunt and Uncle’s boat.

This year we golfed at Hilton Head National and another course off of the Indigo Plantation. In addition we spent a lot of time on the boat water-skiing, tubing, wake-boarding and killing all the horse flies that seem to like hanging around.

Its also become a tradition between Drew, myself and all the kids to catch some crabs when the tide is going out and then making a meal out of them. This year we made a crab bisque which was pretty good.

We even got some surfing in which I didn’t think was possible there (with the smaller waves) but with our immense surfing skills we were able to pull it off. Actually the smaller waves probably made it easier. I’ll try to post some pics on my website in the near future.
