Myrtle Beach, SC

A couple of weekends ago we headed to Myrtle Beach, SC for my husbands birthday.  I love that it is only a 3 1/2 drive now.  That sure does beat driving from Illinois.

Once we got to our room, somebody was super excited to see the ocean and the beach.

Our view from our room. Heaven.

Three of the four outdoor pools.

Our little guy LOVED the kiddy pool.

We all went in the lazy river so I don't have any pictures of us.  This was so relaxing. I could have stayed in there all day.

We just got out of the pool and somebody wanted to wear mommy's sunglasses.

Mr. movie star :)

Our hotel.  We stayed at the Hampton Inn Oceanfront. Now this is only my second trip to Myrtle Beach, but we stayed here the first time when I was pregnant with our little guy.  We really like it.  So glad we decided to stay again because the pools were such a big hit with the little guy.

He was super excited to look for shells, but only a few to be had.  Not a good shell time of year I guess.

Saturday evening there was a gorgeous full moon over the ocean.  It couldn't have been more perfect.  Sorry my pictures don't do it justice.

Our little one LOVES the moon and stars and was yelling moon, moon.  It was so cute to see him so excited.

He grabbed my husbands itouch and looked like such a big boy to me here :(  My two year old is growing up.

Mr. movie star returns.  Even though it was dark he did not want to take his sunglasses off.

Somebody is ready for breakfast.  Doesn't everyone bring a shovel to breakfast. (ha-ha)? Hampton Inn has a nice breakfast right at the hotel that is included.  Very convenient with a little one.

They even have a play area as well.

A little bit more shell hunting before we leave.

Oh I didn't want to say goodbye.

Watching daddy put his first kite together.

I ran back to the room for something and noticed my guys walking on the beach.  We were on the 10th floor and I was able to get some really cute shots with my zoom.

One more dip in the pool before checkout.

Fun times in Myrtle Beach :)

A tired little honey on the way home.

Hope you enjoyed our little journey to Myrtle Beach.

We finally made it.

We finally made it to North Carolina after a wonderful weekend.   We started off in Michigan for my father's birthday and father's day.  On Sunday we headed to the yacht club for a father's day brunch.  The little one had so much fun at the lake watching the boats, walking on the docks and putting his feet in the water.

 

On Monday we headed out and along the way found this perfect little park in West Virginia to have a picnic and let the little one stretch his legs. It was on the Ohio River.  It gave us a nice break from the car too.

Monday we made it to our first destination, Lexington, Virginia to stop and see some friends.  We had a wonderful time catching up.

This morning we were up bright and early to head to NC.  Only a 4 hour drive today.  The little one did great the whole way from Michigan.  We were so glad.  We got the car and trailer unloaded and have lots to put away.  The little one is taking the longest nap ever right now.  He is tired out.  We all have hardly had any sleep the last several days.  I think I will sleep good tonight.  Hope to catch up with all of you soon.
