Hello my Bloggy Lovies,
Sorry that I've been MIA.
Let's see...
This past week I was a total beach bum.
Sunday, we left about 6 am and headed to Myrtle Beach, SC. It was a long ride and we got a little restless about half way through. We finally arrived at the hotel about 2:30, checked in, and headed to our room. Forget the unpacking, we headed straight for the swim suits and went down to the beach. Since it was already later in the afternoon when we got there, we only spent about an hour on the beach and by the pool. We grabbed a quick dinner at Dairy Queen along with ice cream and headed back to the hotel. I think we were in bed before 10 that night... Hey it was vacation right? :)
Monday, was our first full day. It was super hot with a heat index of 108 by lunch, but hey we had our toes in the water and a$$ in the sand so we didn't really care! We spent the majority of the day laying on the beach and floating the lazy river. We finally headed back to the room and got ready. We decided on Olive Garden for dinner and boy was it yummy. Half way through dinner I discovered, I had way to much sun for the day. We made a quick trip to K Mart to pick up a few things and headed back to the hotel. We walked the beach that evening and it was so peaceful. We turned in pretty early that night too.
Tuesday, our second full day. I was totally miserable from an awful sunburn. I ended up wearing lounge clothes down to the beach and sitting under the umbrella for the first half of the day. It was scorching hot that day too so by lunch time I was ready to lay low in the room for the rest of the day. We got ready and headed to a Japanese grill in North Myrtle. Super yummy even though I was still pretty miserable. When we got back to the room, Tim, Jimmie, and Emily were about to head out to play putt putt and sweet Emily wanted me to tag along. Of course, I did. We had a nice breeze blowing the entire time so it wasn't too miserably hot. We ended up back at the hotel and in bed watching TV the rest of the evening.
Wednesday, our last full day. :( I was finally able to move around a little better. Emily and I stayed in the room until the pool opened at 9, while the rest of the bunch headed down to the beach. I wasn't quite sure if I was ready to hit the beach just yet. It gave us a little time to spend quality time together. That kid thinks I hung the moon and she's beyond sweet. We spent the first half of the day in the indoor pool and a few quick trips to the lazy river, but I was still being some what of a vampire. After we ate lunch, I decided that I would spend some time in the ocean. Considering it was our last day there, I was determined to enjoy it. We headed out to shop that afternoon and ate at Sticky Fingers. Great food and we all had a blast. We came back and packed up. We were all asleep before 9:30.
Thursday, it started early. We woke up around 4:30 and left the hotel around 5:45. Bitter sweet. Sad to leave, but happy to be coming home. We ate at IHOP and then we trucked on back home. Got stuck in traffic two miles from home... Wouldn't you know. Finally made it home around 3:30.
There's a review of vacation. I'll post about this weekend, tomorrow!
