  • harbor tour - depending on the weather -  maybe take in the zooquariam.
  • cape cod potato chip factory (fun!!)
  • lunch on a sightseeing train.    (this sounds cool!)
  • whale watch
  • side trip to Boston
  • harbor again
  • glass blowing museum
  • beach - maybe
  • miniature golf

  • take a dolphin watch cruise
  • sunset dinner cruise
  • trail ride at Lawson Stables
  • play golf
  • take the ferry to Dafauskie Island
  • jet ski, parasail and other water fun!
  • visit the museum
  • historic Beaufort and Bluffton are right there, too
  • side trip to Savannah -  more history :)
  • canoe or kayak your way over the water
  • shopping shopping shopping -  the Tanger Outlets are right across the bridge in Bluffton.
  • fishing

I like to mix it up with a little to do stuff and a lot of relaxing but my family always wants to DO SOMETHING 'cause they are bored.  I think I would love to just lie on the beach for a week but they would not let me.  Glad you had a good trip

Ahhh - the advantage of going by yourself, Paddy!   I did do some shopping (of course!), and had a fun night out with a friend, but the bulk of my time was spent with my toes in the sand and book in hand :)

Nice pictures, thanks for sharing....I like a mixture but my husband is one of those always on the go kind of vacationers.  So I never get to just relax on the beach....

I will have to try this solo thing someday.  Sounds kind of good right now as I finish the laundry and try to figure out how to catch up with my house before I go to the office today

I'm with you Kara!  I wait til after all the tourists (bennies) go home, then scope out my piece of beach! Between Labor Day and memorial Day being just 10 miles from Long Beach Island is a vacation in itself.

My favorite vacation is Hilton Head - spent my 40th and several other great holidays.  However, sisters are different for better and for worse.  That's all I can say.

My sister would be right with you on the beach...I would be in the mountains.

LOL - just a BIT of a difference in itineraries...but I am not surprised.  I am experienced in the differences between sisters; my girlfriend is a twin, and they are NOTHING alike.

Hi Tracy - I love Hilton Head - - it is my favorite beach since I moved from Jersey.

Are you a skier Chastity? Is that what draws you to the mountains?  

I have experience with twins as well, Scott.  My ex is a twin (and there are two more sets of twins among him and his siblings!)   Lucky you :)

Dale, you need to be taking the little misses away now and then, you know!  You know the old saying....'if mama ain't happy - ain't nobody happy'  hahah.

 

Have a great day everyone - thanks for stopping by my blog :)

Kara.. Your sister taking a side trip to Boston with the way she likes to do things, won't be a "SIDE" trip.  There is so much to do there, that you can do a week in Boston, and not cover everything.

BTW.. I just learned something new.  I've been going to the Cape for years.. and I never knew there was a potato chip factory.  Hmmm.

Ahhhh -  now you will have something NEW to see next time you go to the Cape Valerie!   :)       I really dont' know what they were going to do in Boston, but I'm sure it was a jam packed day, haha.   Have a good night :)
