The Magical World Of Disney Part One: New Years On Hilton Head Island

DECEMBER 29,2013

We didn't leave or do anything too exciting today, but Bianca and I used our Jamberry nails and pampered ourselves tonight!I love these things. They're a bit expensive, but they're super fun! I love having a girly girl. (Note: they fall off of a 3 year old pretty fast, even with reapplying, but still worth it!)

We left for SC today! We're staying at the Disney Resort in Hilton Head Island for New Years before we go get my mom and go to Disney World!! How amazing! It was a good drive there, especially in our bigger rental car, not much traffic until we got there. Once we got to the resort, we noticed that Bianca had a HUGE blowout, holy moley! Once she was clean (and the car seat lol) we made plans for our evening.The room was so nice! Bianca had a sofa bed and Cam had a pack and play ready for him! We told them we were celebrating Cam's birthday here, so he got a cute card signed by the staff. I love Disney!

We walked around outside for a bit and decided to go to the main building where there was going to be singing and story time. We thought it was going to be with a character, but it was just a guy with a banjo. He was good though! Bianca was a bit cranky (after her crazy car ride and not long nap), but we straightened her out and she was good for the rest of the time. Cam loved the music!

Then it was dinner time! We went to a local pizza place that was supposed to be really good, and it was! It was really crowded, but it worked for us. It was worth the little bit of a wait. At night at the resort, they were playing "Finding Nemo" at the outdoor movie "theater." The kids liked it, well Bianca did. It was cold out, not gonna lie, and Cam HATES the cold, but I was able to feed him when he got cranky, and that calmed him down. His first movie was a decent success I'd say, we just had to keep swimming, just keep swimming. ;)

We were busy busy bees today! We woke up early and ate breakfast at the breakfast place...which was outside. This resort is neat, and would be awesome to visit in the summer, because it was still chilly out!! We got salted caramel waffles and they were yummy!! Then we walked around the breakfast area and Bianca played some corn hole hahaha. 

Oh and here is Cameron opening doors in our room haha. He loves doing that.

                                                       Isn't his outfit the cutest?!?!?!

Then we walked to the playground on the resort to let the kids run around a bit. They LOVED it! First we explored the pier near there, and they liked it, but they enjoyed the playground more. Cameron is not afraid of slides, he loves them! I think Bianca is more scared of slides than he is. She has all the fear in the world and Cam doesn't have any. We're in trouble. :-P

We walked around the resort a bit and took some pics, since it's so cool looking.

Next we hopped in the car to explore the town! We went to this place that had horseback riding and a petting zoo. It was awesome! We got to feed the animals, which Bianca LOVED! The best part was petting the deer. Yes, a deer! It was like a little doggie, begging you to pet him. Aw, so cute!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We decided that since we were there, if she wanted to, we'd let Bianca have her first pony ride. We thought she'd be scared, seeing as how she's so cautious about everything, but this was the highlight of her stay in SC! She loved riding that pony and still talks about it to this day! I'm glad she was able to do this. We put Cam on a pretend horse on the way out and he wasn't too happy haha.

Next, we drove into town to see the cool lighthouse and to walk around a bit. Hilton Head is so cool. I love SC. I hope to live there someday. We took some pics around the area and then got hungry, so we tried this Mexican place we found online. It was actually really yummy! We were the only customers there, since it was kinda out of the way of things and it was New Years Eve, but it was still fine! 

Next we went to our resort's private beach! Sure it was cold and cloudy out, but you have to go to the beach, come on now! ;) It was a nice beach. SC beaches are so much better than NC I don't care what anyone says! The kids had fun playing in the sand. We even saw dolphins jumping in and out of the water! So pretty. Again, this would be an awesome place to visit in the summer!

After the beach, we ran to the store quickly and went to the hotel to give the kids a nap before staying up until Midnight.

The kids napped and we hung out until about 9pm. We hung out in the hotel room until around 11:30/45ish before heading out to where the festivities were happening (at the movie theater place). We put the kiddos in their pjs so that we could just sleep when we got back (smart, huh?). There were a lot of people there. They were giving away glow sticks and hats, which made Bianca super excited. They had the Times Square Countdown on the movie screen. Cam was tired so he was not all that happy, but we counted down to midnight, said happy new year, and went back haha. It was fun though, I must say. Bianca had a melt down when we got back, since they were so tired, but it's all good. We slept it off. :) Happy 2014! Onto new adventures!!!

          Ugh! We had cute matching outfits on today and this is the only real group pic we got of our red, black, and white matching outfits lol. All that work I did to coordinate ourselves haha ;)
