Tuesday (2/9)
I left CVG in the early afternoon. CVG was a very strange atmosphere due to Covid-19. I only saw about 20 travelers in the whole airport. Then in my layover in Charlotte, it was packed with people everywhere. Social distancing was certainly not a priority there. I arrived into the Hilton Head airport around 8p and my brother, Todd picked me up and we headed for a bite. My choice was Giuseppes in Shelter Cove. It is a great HHI spot as long as you can look past all the Steelers garb..
After dinner, I went back to the independent living community where my mom and Todd are staying and Todd and I watched classic 80’s movies most of the night.
Wednesday (2/10)
This morning Todd and I got up and I showed him a path to the beach through Folly Field Beach Park which is only a mile or so from where he and mom stay. After walking the beach a bit, it started to rain. The temperature was about 65 degrees, but it was so cloudy and dreary we couldn’t even see 25 feet off the beach. We then headed over to Burke’s beach and the park and walked around for awhile. We spent most of the day exploring the island. On the way home, we loaded up on groceries for Todd. When we got back, Todd practically forced me to watch Cobra Kai because I said I had no desire to watch it when it came out 3 years ago. Well once again, Todd was right and I did enjoy the series.
Thursday (2/11)
We got up and had a quick bite and then headed to Sea Pines. Our 1st stop was Harbour Town as my brother had never been there before. I had originally planned to rent a boat this day and we would spend the day on the water, but the weather didn’t cooperate. We walked around the marina and visited the shops for most of the day. After leaving Harbour Town, we checked out the shops at Sea Pines, and then went to the Salty Dog Cafe in the South Beach Marina Village. We got back to the house and together made my mother’s famous weiner casserole. It actually didn’t taste too bad even though we doubled some of the ingredients…
Friday & Saturday (2/12-2/13)
I had some work I had to get done, so the last day or so was pretty low key. I just enjoyed spending a few days with just my brother and I. We don’t get as much time to do that anymore.
