So Much Fun!!

Tony and I waivered (he more than I) as to whether we really wanted to drive 16 hours with these two kids.... we were pleasantly surprised at how well they behaved on the drive!!! I had 2 tricks up my sleeve that really helped. 1. Headphones for the dvd players (seriously, it took me 4 years to figure this one out!) 2. Plastic Easter eggs filled with a small animal and treat that were given to the boys every 30 minutes or so if they were well behaved!! This worked like a charm! The journey was actually fun! There were lots of things to look at along the way, and different restaurants to stop at (cracker barrel, being at the bottom of the barrel). The weather gradually got warmer and warmer until we arrived in Myrtle beach with our windows down enjoying 20degree weather. Our resort was fantastic, an indoor water park in each tower, and right on the beach. We have two beach boys. They could have literally spent the entire time searching for shells, and playing in the sun. Shell searching was Owen's favourite part of the trip. We bought both of them treasure boxes to bring home their favourite shells in.

My Highlights of the trip:
-Alligator Adventure
-Ripley's Aquarium
-2 outlet malls... I repeat 2 outlet malls
-Stickey Fingers
-wearing sandals
-18 different mini golf courses
-shell searching

Tony's Highlights of the trip:
-shopping
-16 hours of driving
-sleeping in the double bed
-staying in during nap times

Would we do it again???
Absolutely!!
