2021-10-23 Hilton Head, SC

Still playing catch up on my blog posts! This is also a October trip...

...So here's the Reader's Digest version of what this campout is all about. Carie & I, Gina & Chris and Dawn are all considering buying a place in the Caribbean-Jimmy Buffett themed 55+ resort golf cart community of Latitudes Margaritaville, Hilton Head and we all caravanned down to a great campground basically across the street from this community. The campground is called Camp Lake Jasper (although they were bought out the week earlier and I think the name changed) and we all ventured over to the Latitude community to check it out over the coming days and weekend.

We'll start off here with the campground. This is a gorgeous campground!

A Great Blue Heron at the campground dock

The same heron scarfing a sunfish lakeside

I volunteered to doggie sit Sara while the ladies all went over to Hilton Head Island to shop and hit the beach

Here was mine and Sara's view while we sat lakeside!

Watch for gator's, Sara!!!

Poor Sara has horrible separation anxiety when momma Gina leaves so Sara kept a close eye on Dawn's Airstream awaiting their return!






...A very close eye on the Airstream! LOL!

And now for the Latitude Margaritaville community. We LOVE this place and feel like it is a true vacation when visiting due to the Caribbean theme throughout the community, the luxury feel, onsite restaurant & bar, 3 pools, beach w/kayaking & canoeing and fitness club, theater, stores, etc. All within a golf carts ride...or Segway! How fun!!!

And now the model home we're considering...The Dreamsicle (everything named after Jimmy Buffet song titles or lyrics!). We toured all of the model homes but I will just show here the one we will be buying:
