Leg 1: Burlington Corridor Road Trip - The Salt Life at Hilton Head Island, SC
Our first stop was Hilton Head Island in South Carolina, where we have family we stayed with for three nights. Our drive from Tampa to HHI was uneventful, with the exception of the barrage of lovebugs, causing us to make extra stops to clean the windshield so we could see through it! Our family lives directly on the beach, so it's wonderful to take long, leisurely strolls along the shoreline. The salt air and sound of the waves soothe the soul.

The lighthouse stands tall over the area, with opulent yachts and sailboats just feet from its base. We wandered around, and had a beautiful sunset dinner at The Quarterdeck restaurant ( website ).
