Our final October adventure was on Hilton Head Island in South Carolina. Nicky's cousin, Ashley, and her husband, Bob, own a vacation home on the island. Last year, they started a tradition by inviting the Prather family to spend a few days there. Unfortunately, I was student teaching last year, but there was nothing stopping me this year! We spent our mornings on bike rides, visited a petting zoo, kayaked in the ocean, and had an amazing time.
