Red Fish Restaurant


While in Hilton Head, SC, we dined at Red Fish since it was listed as a suggested restaurant on our hotel's website. It was our last lunch in the beach town & it exceeded all of our expectations. If you're ever near Hilton Head then you should definitely make time to check out the casual atmosphere & eclectic cuisine offered here. You may also purchase a few bottles of wine from their retail wine shop as souvenirs of your visit.

1/ we were their first customers of the day, so we had this dining room all to ourselves for most of our lunch 2/ The Red, White, & Blue Fried Oysters were a perfect starter to our meal 3/ A large variety of offered wines 4/ Open kitchen views, so we could watch the chefs at work 5/ John's lunch selection, the special soup  & quiche of the day 6/ My lunch selection, the Lobster Roll with perfectly seasoned french fries

Roadtrip Roundup, Part One

Below are the images I took on the days leading up to & during our roadtrip to Savannah, Georgia, where we spent one night's stay before heading on our way to Hilton Head, South Carolina. John's company held their annual managers awards ceremony at a resort on the island, so it was ultimately a work obligation, but we got to spend some quality time together as well.


1/ Breaking in & loving my new glitter embellished sandals c/o Wallis / 2/ Trying out a newly found recipe from Pinterest for lunch / 3/ First time trying Skinnygirl Pina Colada / 4/ The egg & cheese breakfast sandwich from Ike & Jane Cafe & Bakery right before we left Athens


5/ John in the driver's seat with his coffee / 6/ The Elvis Donut from Ike & Jane Cafe & Bakery that we saved to split during a short stop in Dublin, GA / 7/ My iced chai tea latte + OPI's It's Toe-tally Summer Manicure / 8/ Me in the passenger's seat with my favorite Ray Ban Wayfarer Sunglasses
