Hilton Head island Weekend Getaway

 

“Spring Break” for college students (and their professors) is a bit of a misnomer. The weeklong midterm break comes when it’s still winter. Spring begins on March 20. My SC State Spring Break began March 6. 

For me, the break began even earlier on March 3 when we headed a couple hours south to Hilton Head Island. The proximity isn’t a “staycation” but it’s not far from it. 

The Westin Hilton Head Island Resort and Spa is a great for a weekend getaway any time of the year.

I woke up Sunday morning at 6:40, just in time to catch the sunrise from our third floor room (above).

The frame of our balcony made a nice composition for the dawn of a new day. We were blessed with nice weather all weekend!

Music To My Ears!

Asheville, N.C.- As the nation and world cancel major events amid the growing coronavirus pandemic, rock music throbbed through a thousand fans at the Orange Peel.

Alesia and I saw one of our favorite bands during my Spring Break this week. Silversun Pickups was as good as hoped (even better!) March 11 at this venerable venue.
