Hilton Head and Beaufort Shrimp Festival

We took another day trip to Hilton Head.  It, of course, is much newer than Charleston, but still very nice.  There were golf courses everywhere.  We found a place to park the car and ride our bikes a little bit.  After riding our bikes, we also walked out a very nice decked walkway to the beach.

It was a sunny day and there were a lot of people at the beach. 

 

We checked out a couple of campgrounds on the island that were also very nice but fairly expensive. 

On Saturday, we drove to the Shrimp Festival going on in Beaufort, South Carolina.  Just for your information in case you are ever traveling in the area, Beaufort is pronounced "bu-fort" -- not "bow-fort". 

There was no admission fee to the festival.  You would buy tickets at a $1 per ticket and then use those tickets to buy shrimp and drinks from the different vendor booths.  They had shrimp cooked so many different ways they could have called it the Bubba Gump shrimp festival.  And we tried several of them.  This is what we had left.

There were a lot of people there.

 

Can you find Chuck in this crowd waiting to get some more shrimp?

 

They also had different bands playing music.  We walked around a bit and had a hot, but very nice afternoon at the Beaufort Shrimp Festival.
