I Was SO WRONG About Hilton Head

The first thing I was wrong about when I thought I knew it all about Hilton Head is the fact that Hilton Head is an island. Seriously. Who knew? OK, I guess everyone but me.

Bike Riding Is Not Just for Kids!

I absolutely loathe spinning class. I really, really wanted to like it. Riding a bike in place? How difficult could that be? You know what? It’s pretty frakkin’ difficult.
