Summer Vacation- part 2

We left Amelia Island and headed to Bluffton, South Carolina to spend a few days at the Inn at Palmetto Bluff. It was unbelievable and a trip we will never forget. Ben gets all the credit for this trip because this was definitely his idea. I'm so glad I let him convince me that we should go!

The Inn is located on the May River and the low country is a beautiful backdrop 

We stayed in one of the guest cottages, which was tastefully decorated. It felt so homey...which I loved.

The first day we were there, I spent the afternoon at the Spa while Ben played golf. I was in heaven. This was without question the best Spa experience I have ever had. 

I had the women's facilities to myself that afternoon, so I snapped a picture of the whirlpool tub with my phone. Total relaxation....

One morning we ventured out for a 7 mile bike to the far end of the property to see a treehouse

I am not a big fan of biking but it was hard to complain with views like this.

Clearly this was not just any treehouse...the views from the top were incredible

After all that hard work, it was time to cool off by taking a canoe ride

Or so we thought. We didn't last 15 minutes on the canoe before we started heading back. It was unbelievably hot and required way more energy/effort than we had to give at that time.

So, we headed to one of my favorite places to cool off.

I loved that they would bring you a bucket of ice water!

My favorite summer cocktail = Miami Vice

One evening we went on a sunset wine cruise on the river. It was so fun and we ended up meeting a sweet family from Birmingham who vacations here every year.

We saw several dolphins but, unfortunately, weren't able to capture any on camera. You can see Harbour Town on Hilton Head. 

Inside the little place we ate breakfast at every morning 

 The precious chapel 

 Fire pits where we roasted s'mores at night...a palmetto bluff tradition 

 The gorgeous main lodge. The wrap around porches and gas lanterns....perfect! 

 We enjoyed dinner at the main lodge one night 

 Eating dinner outside at the Canoe Club

Complimentary snacks and wine which we devoured

I cannot think of a more perfect way to celebrate our 3rd anniversary! We were both so sad to leave and cannot wait to go back.
