Vacation

So in the order of recent events, Myrtle Beach came first. We had a wonderful vacation. The girls did very well on the way down there, sleeping (eventually-they fell asleep about 10) during the night and playing hand-held video games and coloring and reading during the day. So despite an 18-hour ride, we got there without too much stress. The arrival wasn't the greatest, we were all beyond tired and didn't get rooms where we wanted exactly so we were more than ready to see the beach. We briefly introduced the girls to the ocean that night and finally settled in.

Our room had only one bedroom so Hubby and I were on the hide-a-bed and the girls shared the king bed. See? The last night we moved them to the hide-a-bed when we were ready to go to bed. We wanted a good night's sleep before traveling back!

We spent every day on the beach. We had 75-80 degree temperatures with good breezes, which kept us cool in the sun. It was beautiful. We spent every day on the beach and the girls enjoyed the sand and water. We were so happy to get away for a while!

Busily working on building something!

Okay, we didn't JUST sit on the beach. We did some sightseeing, too. Here's the girls as they ride the carousel.

We had such a great week and owe a lot to my folks for taking us and treating us to so much! They really made it a fun time.
