Hilton Head Vacation 2021 - Day 6

I woke up early on the final day (Day 6/Saturday) and decided to go downstairs before anyone else got up. The glowing sun caught my attention as soon as I descended the stairs. It was beautiful. An amazing sunrise.

I sat down in the breakfast/sitting room and watched the sun come up in the quiet...

I sat there feeling like it was going to be really difficult to leave that day. It took a few days for me to find my comfort stride. Then it felt like I blinked and it was time to get back home.

I made some cinnamon rolls for my peeps for when they woke up.

I had packed a lot the night before, so I just needed to get a few last things in the suitcases, the food packed up and the cooler filled. I took one last walk around the house and Briana chilled watching HGTV (she loves home makeover shows)...

After that beautiful sunrise, the weather decided to get overcast. Made it a bit easier to leave not having to see the sun glistening on the water...

We packed up the car, locked the house and backed out of the driveway...

The drive home was pretty uneventful. I made sandwiches so we didn't have to stop for lunch anywhere. We made only two stops (a rest stop and a gas fill up). We did hit some nasty traffic/roadwork as we got close to home.

We have a Peach Pass and were able to hop into the pass lane. Oh my gosh - what a blessing. The roadwork had traffic backed up for miles. We whizzed by all of it. See the stopped traffic in the far right of the picture?

That could have added possibly 45 minutes to an hour on to our already long trip. And we were very ready to get home.

We got home safely around 3PM.

Like I said before, we pretty much had all the weather while we were gone...

Thunder/lightning, sun, warmth, cold, clouds, wind, fog, mist, rain, sunrises and sunsets.

It was just all over the place.

We still had a really nice time. 

 Yes, there were hiccups. Yes, the house had a couple issues (but was overall comfortable and beautiful). Yes, I didn't feel 100% health-wise while I was there. Yes, I was a bit anxious traveling during a pandemic. Yes, we missed going out to restaurants and shopping and just being around more people. 

But, it was a very relaxing and overall great getaway.

Maybe we will do something again like this in the summer. We'll have to see.

Oh! The Tuesday after we got home - we got a new refrigerator delivered. It's a totally different layout from my old one, but I am loving it!

Old fridge...

New fridge...

Sometimes change can be a good thing!
