After finally having a night of sleep without Darren's snoring, we all slept in to prepare for our last day in Hilton Head. I guess "slept in" is relative... for me/us, we got up about 9am and Rebecca hooked us up with some yummy pancakes. We debated on whether we should hit the beach or the pool and decided the pool was more fun for Isaac. No qualms here... I'd gotten enough of a workout getting to the beach other days. As you may have already read, the pool was much more accessible and much easier. We figured if we had time, we would hit the beach that evening for an after-dinner stroll and kiss it good-bye.

So it was a quiet morning at the pool, then the usual lunch and naps. Since we didn't get much shopping time in the night before, we headed back to the outlets. We sat through one last torrential down-pour in the parking lot before attempting to unload kids and stroller. After hitting a few of our targeted shops, we landed in a Crocs store that smelled like a Goodyear factory. How anyone could stand to work 8 hours or more amongst that horrendous odor is beyond me. I had a headache after 5 minutes and felt the need to get my 4-month-old-unable-to-express-her-opinion daughter out of there. I wouldn't have been surprised to see her unbuckle herself and learn to crawl out of sheer life-saving necessity.

After the outlets we scored some Chic-fil-a for dinner and rushed back to squeeze in both that last walk on the beach I mentioned earlier, as well as a final evening swim for Isaac. We capped the evening with some ice cream and watched a little of The Barnyard before Isaac crashed. Rebecca soon followed and I stayed up packing, then blogging, and packing some more with SportsCenter providing some atmosphere -- significant because Albert Pujols hit the 400th homerun of his career that night. Nice work, Albert!
I hit the sack around 1:00am. Vacation was over. I think we all had fun.
p.s. - I was just kidding about Darren snoring. I never heard him once at night. Kaitlin will testify otherwise. :-)
