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.

Weekend Recap

I hope you all had a wonderful Mother's Day! Though I couldn't be with my mom this Mother's Day, I had a wonderful relaxing day with my little guy and my husband.

When my husband asked me if I would like to go out to dinner on Mother's Day, I thought about it, and said lets do something we hardly ever do unless we are on vacation. Breakfast!! So we got around early and headed to a place I hadn't been before called the State Farmers Market Restaurant. Though I have been to the state farmers market, we hadn't ever taken the time to stop at the restaurant. 

We had a delicious breakfast, then headed to a wonderful park we have in town called Pullen Park. It is such a perfect park for the little ones. 

We arrived just a little before 10:00 a.m. so we had some time to play before the crowds came.

The little guy got comfortable and took his shoes off. I guess he could go faster that way :)

Oh yes they have sand too.  The pigs had to come out.

Here is the train they have.  It is always a big hit with our guy.

The park also has these cute little boats and boy was he having fun.

There is a water and sand area as well. Two of his favorite things.

A view of the train coming around as we were playing in the sand.

He must have climbed up this thing more than 10 times. 

The park also has a carousel you can ride, but opted to skip it this time since our guy wasn't a fan last time we were there.

All and all it was a perfect day and we had the little one home for lunch and his nap.  Sorry for the picture overload :)  I hadn't been able to post for a while due to blogger problems.  Finally the hubs figured out some setting on my computer was not working with blogger so I am back in business.

Have a wonderful day,

Linda
