Can you tell me the name of the candy store that is located in
Coligny Plaza. We were there years ago and bought the greatest
sea shell candies. Do they have a website?

I am looking for a moderately priced restaurant or facility in
or near Hilton Head to have a rehearsal dinner in May, 2008.
There will be about 100 people and some type of outdoor space
for cocktails would be great. Any suggestions would be greatly
appreciated.

We visited Hilton Head last week with our 2 year old daughter
and our 5
year old son. While there, we wanted to have a romantic dinner
out, so we
looked into getting a sitter for a few hours. We ended up
getting one
through Hilton Head Nannies (hiltonheadnannies.com). We loved
her (Olivia).
She was great with the kids... they took to her instantly. I was
a little
nervous leaving the children... but when she got there and I saw
how they
responded to her I felt better. I called partway through dinner,
and they
were watching a movie. When we got back to the condo, the
children were
sleeping peacefully. The sitter said our daughter got a little
whiny at
bedtime, but that she had eventually settled down.
It was great to be able to have a night out with my husband. We
went to eat
at Truffles in Sea Pines. Everything was great, but you should
definitely
get dessert (which is big enough for two).

A great way to get around the island is bikes. We rented our
bikes from All American Bikes for the week. They drop them off
and pick them up for you. The beach in Hilton Head is very hard
packed sand where the water was at high tide. It is great fun to
ride up and down the beach. There are bike paths all over the
island so it is an easy way to get around and experience the
beauty of the island close up. I was not a very good rider so it
limited our exploration but I have done it many times before
particularly when we lived there. They also offer tandems, which
we should have gotten. Definitely a great way to get around!

After a walk on the beach or shopping at Coligny Plaza a great fun spot
to refresh yourself is the Big Bamboo. Located upstairs on the ocean
side of Coligny plaza the Big Bamboo is very interesting and friendly,
The wonderful smell of fresh popcorn hits you right away. We had the two
for one margaritas and lots of popcorn. It was a nice break after a very
busy day. Try it--you'll like it!

When we are in Hilton Head with our son we must make a trip to Wild
Wings Cafe near Coligny Circle. On this visit we had another family
coming to spend the weekend in the condo with us. They had small
children and would arrive around seven/seven-thirty which is peak
restaurant time. Therefore, since Wild Wings was an easy walk from our
Condo we ordered two wing sampler platters with 16 flavors. Each platter
comes with eight choices. It is our favorite thing to order as a family.
Wild Wings is a fun comfortable restaurant. Try it on your next visit.

My peer here at work just got back from Hilton Head and was
telling me about some Key Lime hard candy that he had eaten. I
am trying to find where I can get a bag or 2 for him of the
candy as a surprise gift. He talks about that candy ALL the
time!
Thank you so much.

Editors Note: If we knew where he bought
it, it would help. The following
page has various Key Lime Hard Candies and a search on Google brings up
a
whole lot more.
