Seabrook Island FREE Stay

In 2019, I won a photo contest and the prize was a 4 day, 3 night stay at the place on beautiful Seabrook Island.
So 2 days after Christmas we headed to the beach.
One of the main things we wanted to do while there was bike. The roads are gated, not busy and there are many paved bike paths as well.
The place we stayed looks like these, they call it a tree house. Very unique!
The island is gorgeous, live oaks with Spanish moss and palms line the quiet streets.
We rode out bikes to the nearby town to eat lunch and grab some groceries. Grass couches!
The truck's 1st trip! We had to take it for the bike rack. Luckily the place had bikes for Josh and I so ours fit easily.
Our very favorite thing about Seabrook is the amount of sea creatures on the beach. So many treasures!
We found more star fish this time than ever before. And we stopped picking up sand dollars as they were endless.
The boardwalk to the beach. This is still how they walk. I have so many pictures of them in this pose. LOVE IT.
One day we drove to Charleston and walked around. Then went to the Mellow Mushroom for lunch. Forgot to get a pic. Thanks Neville's!!
Most weekends in January THIS is what the kids have been doing. Addy just bought her own gun!!
Way back on Christmas Day at Mimi's house!!
Leading up to the big day we finally made it to the amazing Charlotte motor speedway drive thru Christmas lights. The ones timed to music were the most impressive.
We also finally got to see the gingerbread house competition at the Ballantyne hotel. I'd say it's worth making a new tradition.
The Neville's gifted us a staycation this year, gift cards out to eat at some awesome restaurants. Everyone's favorite was fondu at the Melting Pot.
A close second, movie tickets! We saw the new Star Wars and it was one of the best.
The Cheesecake Factory and...
Cold Stone Creamery for dessert one day. Not pictured was Mellow Mushroom we used on the next post. THANK YOU NEVILLE'S!!!
Christmas morning!!
The boys main gifts were airsoft guns and gear. Ready to join Josh out in the woods.
