Food Review

 I’ll be reviewing the results of cocoa on the beach in Hilton Head, South Carolina, in this culinary review. My family and I chose this location because it was on the beach. We ate here because it was my grandparents’ 50th university anniversary, and we wanted to honor them. Because I am not a big fan of seafood like the rest of my family, we made sure to go somewhere with a variety of options. We began with appetizers. We ordered shrimp and other seafood. Even though I don’t particularly enjoy shellfish, I had a pleasant experience here. I was anticipating more alternatives on the menu, but I was able to locate something. This was one of the best meals I’d ever had at the beach. The staff was extremely friendly and made certain that my grandparents had a wonderful day.We went back and forth about where and what to eat, but we ended up choosing here.

They first assigned us a seat and then decorated it with balloons and other decorations. My family and I were blown away by what they did for them, and my parents were overjoyed with what they did for her parents. They started with a free drink and then brought them a cake, which they did not charge us for. That, to me, is going above and above as a staff member, and it increased our enjoyment of the restaurant. The restaurant has its own gift shops where we could buy shirts with the restaurant’s name on them to remember our time here. We finally finished with dessert, which was delicious.I could not be happier with how the balloons and decorations turned out they truly made it so sweet for us. Since they went above and beyond we gave them a very large tip.Seeing how happy they were made even made our experience better I am overjoyed with how the balloons and decorations turned out; they definitely made it so special for us. We gave them a significant  tip because they went above and beyond. Seeing how pleased they were made made our experience even more enjoyable.

Overall, we had a fantastic experience as a family. They made our experience and time very enjoyable. It was so simple to celebrate my grandparents that we will most certainly return. I would give this reason a 10/10. I cant wait to go back when we head back to the beach this summer

Photo essay

My family and I flew to Hilton Head, South Carolina in 2022. This is a photo I shot of my brother Cameron at the beach at sunrise. This photo depicts what we performed every morning at about 6:30 a.m. at sunrise. My brother was setting up his fishing rod in the sand as we went fishing together.

This was a particularly memorable occasion on the trip because I photographed my brother’s girlfriend for her senior photographs at Virginia Tech. We took them just before sundown, so the sunset was perfectly. My whole family came to watch as I took these photos.

Every night, we went to watch the sunset, and I captured this image of the sunset that night. My family and I have always enjoyed watching sunsets on the beach, so this was very special for us.

This trip was very special to me because on the last day of the trip, my mom surprised me with my senior pictures. This is something I had always wanted to do and it was even better because i got to be with my whole family at the beach.

Vacation travel experience

In April of 2018, my family and I went to the Bahamas. My family and I were thrilled about this trip. My brother Cameron and I had never been out of the United States, we were over the moon about going on this trip. This trip was even more special because it’s where my parents went on their honeymoon, so we got to experience all the fun things they did when they were younger, we even got to stay where they did when they went on their honeymoon. When we first arrived at the airport, we had to take a shuttle to our resort. We stayed at the Atlantis Paradise Island Resort. When I first got to the resort I was overwhelmed, there was so much to do I didn’t know where to start. Me and my brother started to walk around together and look at all the things that the resort had to offer us. We ended up spending most of our time at the water park and of course, the gift shop. That night went to dinner, and we ended up having the biggest meal we had ever seen in our lives. They tend to make the portion sizes bigger in the Bahamas, but we were not aware of that and in that case, we had food in boxes we didn’t even get to touch. Unfortunately, the area we were in was a poor area with a lot of homeless people. Me and my family were lucky enough to be on this trip so we thought it would not hurt to give back. We ended up giving our food to a family who didn’t have much and that was the best part of the trip for me was helping someone who needed it. Another great part about this trip was that  I ended up meeting a group of girls that I still talk to this day, which to me is so cool to travel such a long way and get the opportunity to meet people that you never thought you would get to meet and have them make such an impact on your life.
