Hello there. I know you are shocked beyond belief that I am back for the 2nd day in a row. I know I am! ha.ha. But, I have wanted to post these pics from Hilton Head forever and have kept putting it off.

While there we saw the most jellyfish I have ever seen at one time. Maybe it was the time of year? I hope there aren't that many jellyfish in the summer, because I know it is a popular family destination and some of these suckers were HUGE. I'd hate to meet up with one of these while swimming, especially if I were a child. I have never seen any this size, except in an aquarium. I've been jellyfish stung twice in my life and believe me when I say it is NOT fun.

We also saw a starfish (pictured below). I've been to the beach more times than I can count and this is the first time I've ever seen a starfish, dead or alive, in the "wild". I also added a photo of one of the many sand dollars I rescued. Some of these were most definitely alive, so I picked up as many as I could and tossed them back into the ocean. On one of the days, I found at least 20, so Matthew kept teasing me that I found "20 dollars" on the beach. :)

I still have a lot of Hilton Head pictures and baby shower pictures that I need to post. But, I'll get to those when I can. In the meantime, enjoy the jellies and other sea creatures.

Below: Matthew poses with it, to show its size compared to his hand. No, he didn't touch it, even though I tried to get him to. :)
Below: Another huge jelly. See its size compared to my size 8 1/2 tennis shoe?!
