Our third day on the island started with me trying to take Thor out in the morning. He does not want me to take him, he just sits there in protest and wants to go back to daddy. So after a quick potty I left him with J inside and brought my camera out to look at the full moon over the water. So peaceful and only a few birds making sounds. Then I went inside to do some yoga before the boys got out of bed. J sat by his computer for awhile (like every morning) so I drank my decaf coffee and read in a baby book. 

Around 11:30 am we drove to Sea Pines Preserve not far from us. This park turned out be incredibly beautiful on some of the paths. It was a huge park and we had many options of trails to follow. We kept looking for alligators cause we had read that there could be plenty but we didn’t see any. After 1.5 hour or so we were hungry so we went back to the car and drove to get food at One Hot Mamas. They had outdoor seating and luckily a table away from the other tables so we sat down to enjoy some briskets and pulled pork. 

We went back to the house for awhile. The sun was shining so nicely into the living room so I decided to sit down to meditate while the boys took a nap. Since it was such a lovely day we went for a longer walk in the afternoon. We bough lattes and just walked along all the tennis courts and golf courses (outside of beautiful nature, that’s all you can find on this island). 
We came back right before sunset which was absolutely gorgeous. We stood out there and just watched the sun go down. This day was perfect from the start til the end.

It’s our last night here. I just packed all our stuff, loaded and then unloaded the dishwasher, hand washed the rest of the dishes and got everything ready for tomorrow. In the morning we have to just take the garbage out and put all the sheets and towels in a pile and load the car with our stuff, then we are all set to drive for 7 hours. Staying one night in Virgina this time as well but in a different city. 
Now I’m a bit tired after all that and just want to spend time on the couch all night:) Jim is trying to find us a movie on Netflix to snuggle up with. 
So, ya, I’m not gonna be able to blog until Monday (day one of quarantine) when we are back. Talk to you then:)

On our second day here we pretty much just stayed at the house because it rained most of the day. We went for a little walk when it had stopped raining for a bit, but other than that we stayed at home. We had gone to the grocery store the day before so we had ground beef in the fridge, so I made a pasta bolognese for us to enjoy for dinner. We finished the day by sitting in meditation together. A very relaxed day, just what we needed.

went to a park and did a photoshoot this morning

Hellu! Updates will come, but for now we are busy enjoying our vacation. We have a few more days left. Today is cold like all the other days but tiny bit less windy and it’s nice in the sun. Tomorrow we are driving down to Savannah and Friday it’s going to rain all day. So, today is the day to enjoy this beautiful island:)

Good Morning! How are you today? I started with 25 minutes of yoga practice and then 20 minutes of pilates. My body hasn’t done pilates in over a week and I can feel it. I could not push myself as hard as I’d like to. Belly is getting bigger by the minute too so I have to adjust a lot, which is ok, it’s a part of this journey:)
Hubby has to work this morning so I’m taking some time to sit with my computer for a little bit, eat my breakfast and just relax. It was raining from noon yesterday, no rain now but it’s quite windy and cold, so I don’t mind staying inside with the peaceful view we have:)

Oh, and speaking of nothing… yesterday I saw my very first alligators!! Wish I had my super awesome lens with me so I could take a picture where you can tell what it is you’re looking at haha. 

Hard to tell here, but the three “log” looking things there by the bush is three alligator heads. There was one out swimming in the pond as well. We have gone to these parks here where we have read there is plenty of alligators but we haven’t seen any, and then we stopped to go say hi to the horses at this horse farm and we saw four alligators hanging out next to them:)
