Thanks to my wonderful customers and my amazing downline, I was one of thirty Canadian demonstrators who earned a weekend getaway to Hilton Head Island, South Carolina from Stampin' Up! My husband and I enjoyed four relaxing days last weekend at the Westin Resort and Spa on the island. I had never heard of Hilton Head Island before I earned this trip, and I was pleasantly surprised when we arrived. What a beautiful place!
This first photo was taken from the airplane as we landed in Savannah, Georgia. I just loved how the sunlight came through the clouds, and you can see the lush trees below. In Savannah, a shuttle picked us up to take us on the short trip to the hotel on Hilton Head Island.
This photo of the beach from our hotel was taken when we arrived Thursday evening.
On Friday, we took a shuttle from the hotel to Shelter Cove Marina, where we walked along the boardwalk, shopped at touristy boutiques and enjoyed the beautiful weather.
We also enjoyed walking along the beach. There are miles of soft, white sandy beaches here!
These are five of the six ladies in our downline group who earned the trip!
On Saturday morning, my friend, Donna, and her husband, Dan, who had rented a vehicle, drove us to Harbour Head so we could see the lighthouse there. It was another beautiful morning!
Saturday afternoon, we spent bike riding around the island. Stampin' Up! had rented bikes for us to sign out and use, complete with a Stampin' Up! flag on the back, which we got to take home after! The island has bike paths everywhere, so it is very bike-friendly.
On Saturday night, Ian and I dressed up a bit and enjoyed a nice dinner at one of the hotel's restaurants. You can see how curly my hair got because of the humidity!
Every evening, Stampin' Up! left a "pillow gift" for us in our rooms. The first night, we got a beach tote, the second, there was a fruit & cheese platter with fancy water bottles waiting for us, and the third night we received a storage container filled with a stamp set, designer series paper, ribbon, ink pads and embellishments (that was the best one)!
On Sunday morning, we went for a nice breakfast, walked along the beach one last time, and took a few photos outside the hotel (this one is at the fountain in the courtyard). Then it was off to the airport for our flight home.
It was a wonderful trip, and my husband and I enjoyed having some time together without the kids (my mom was kind enough to come out from B.C. and stay with our boys while we went on the trip). So thank you to my loyal customers, my hard-working downline and Stampin' Up! for a trip we will never forget.
Blessings to you,
