Vacation-Day 2

This was our view for a few hours on Tuesday morning...amazing!
We hung out by the pool for a few hours & laid at the beach for a few, and then we came in and got ready to go to Harbour Town.
Harbour Town, while on one end of the island is kind of the "center" of everything. It is located in an area of the island called Sea Pines. There are lots of little shops & the main symbol of the island is there: the lighthouse. You could go to the top of the lighthouse and look over everything, but it was H-O-T, and I decided to wear capris that day, so we just admired the lighthouse from below. :o)
There was also a very pretty waterfront there that surrounded the Harbour Town Golf Links course.
Also in Sea Pines, is The Salty Dog Cafe, located at South Beach Marina. This was top on our list to eat at, so after leaving Harbour Town, we went there for lunch.
These were hush puppies, and they were different from anything I ever ate. They were very sweet...almost like a funnel cake.
John T. had the fried shrimp basket
I had the chicken stip basket
We loved this place!
After lunch, we headed to Wal-Mart to buy a few supplies, and of course, my football enthusiast husband had to buy NCAA Football 2011 because it came out on Tuesday. The Wal-Mart was litterally back in a forest, and John T. was shocked that it wasn't a Super Center!
After hitting up Wal-Mart, we were in search of the Frozen Moo, and ice cream parlor I read about online. It took us what seemed like forever to get there because they had the wrong address on their website! So, after an awkward call to 411, asking for the telephone number for the Frozen Moo in HHI, SC, we called the shop & the girl gave us directions to get there from where we were. It was located in a shopping center called Coligny Plaza, and it was packed! We had to park about 1/2 mile away! To my surprise, we found Sweet Carolina Cupcakes at the same shopping center, and of course I had to get a cupcake for later!
There were a ton of little shops there, and it was well worth the time it took to get there! We finally made it to the Frozen Moo and got some ice cream and then headed back to our resort for the night.
