We just got back from a week at Hilton Head where we go every September. It's one of my favorite places in the whole world! My late mother-in-law loved it too. In fact, she loved it enough to buy several timeshare weeks there, one of which we inherited when she passed away eight years ago. This is the September week we always use. There was a time when I didn't like this week because it occurs after school has resumed. When my kids were in school, I found it hard to take a week of vacation once they were back in school. Today, things are so different in my life. My kids are grown now, so I can travel whenever I want to and now I've discovered what I suppose my mother-in-law knew--spending a week at Hilton Head right after Labor Day is the best! The crowds are gone but the weather is still warm enough to swim and visit the beach. Paint me happy!
