Friday Favorites | Hilton Head Vacation

It's Friday and I am linking-up with Andrea, Erika, and Narci for Friday Favorites! Today is the official first day of the Haemmerle Family Vacation 2015 so I figured that today would be a perfect day to highlight my favorite family vacations!!

For more years than I can count, my Aunt and Uncle have rented this beach house in Hilton Head for 1 week of July. During the same week my Dad has rented a house for our family - which has expanded over the years! For our first year, we are renting this house and I can't wait . I have seen most everyone in my family a few times this year due to various trips up North, but am especially looking forward to a relaxing week with everyone! During our vacations we spend countless hours relaxing on the beach or in the pool, talking, laughing, and dancing [especially dancing :) ].

Over the years the group that we vacation with has grown to include family, friends, spouses, and in-laws. This year there will be about 55 of us down there for the week and I am SOOOO excited for some much needed time away from work and everyday life. We have taken beach photos with family and friends over the year, and this was taken with a group of my friends in 2008. This was Jonathan's first year on vacation - a year that 5 friends came to visit since it was first trip to the East Coast after moving to California. 

My family enjoys our vacations - and this particular year Jonathan challenged my cousin Terri to a push-up contest. The winner of the contest depends on who is telling the story, but I recall it being a very close challenge! There may or may not have been a few adult beverages consumed just prior and immediately following this...

Our wedding day marked the 1st day of Haemmerle Family Vacation 2013, and for me was the most memorable Hilton Head Vacation to date. It was exciting to have such a large group of family and friends in town for our wedding, and then to spend the week afterwards with everyone. While we may not always be in town on our anniversary, we know that Family Vacation will always be right around the time we were married - and we can always head back to Harbour Town to celebrate our anniversary while we are in town.

This year while we are on vacation we will be heading to Bluebelle Bridal so that Molly can try on wedding dresses! I have been helping Molly with wedding plans since she got engaged a few months ago - and I can't wait to see what kind of dresses she loves.

Since I'll be enjoying my family vacation through the 25th I am going to take a break from blogging until I get home! I'll see you all back here on Monday the 27th for an exciting vacation recap! Make sure to keep up with our vacation by following me on Instagram!
