Quick Getaway to Hilton Head Island (Travel Photos)

Hi everyone! I had a few minutes during naptime today where I thought I’d share some photos from our very first mom & dad getaway! My husband had a work event down in Hilton Head, and I decided to tag along with him so I could enjoy a few relaxing days. I know this will be a much shorter blog than I used to post, but I only have limited time before the little one wakes up. If you’re traveling to Hilton Head Island, I hope this post can bring you some ideas on where to eat, stay, and visit!  (click here to read my updated travel guide to hilton head! – we took my son!)

We stayed at the Westin Resort on Hilton Head Island. It was stunning and located right on the water.

We had the most delicious lunch at Quarterdeck, which is a MUST when visiting. I ordered their blackened chicken alfredo and a chargrilled Caesar salad. We also had their amazing hushpuppies.

The strawberry ice cream was so light and refreshing. I typically go for vanilla, but this has made me a strawberry girl now.

We also dined at the Westin, and the food was really good. I ordered their salmon but was so hungry I didn’t even remember to photograph it.

I went out to explore while Kyle was working. I headed to Harbour Town & Bakery for breakfast before walking the beach. This spot was adorable, under a huge oak tree covered in Spanish moss.

After grabbing another coffee, we headed home! 🙂 It was a quick two days but very relaxing! I spent a lot of time by the water with my book and enjoyed the first break I had in a long time. 🙂 I definitely will be back, but I’m bringing my son next time. I thought of how much fun he would have had the entire trip! It’s crazy how incomplete I feel when I’m off alone!

  1. My husband and I went to Hilton Head Island for the first time a few weeks ago and absolutely loved it! We opted to stay in Bluffton, SC so we could also take an evening trip to Savannah, but it was such a great location for the beaches. We were so sad to leave! We can’t wait to go back!

  5. It’s so nice to “see” you again! I’ve never been to Hilton Head but this post makes me want to go check it out! I’ll be much closer next month when we finally move to Summerville, SC so hopefully a quick trip can be in the books soon. Glad you got some time to relax and reset! I’m sure Bugs was so excited when you got home 🙂
