The Morse Family: Myrtle Beach Trip

Friday we packed up the car, picked up my mom, and headed to Myrtle Beach for the weekend. It was a pretty uneventful car ride other then hitting hail just outside of Jacksonville, causing a minor heart attack for me. (Luckily we haven't found any damage) We made it there in just about 8 hours.

We arrived at Memom and Pop's (Olivia's Great Grandparents) at about 10PM and boy was Olivia glad to get out of the car seat. She played and played until almost 12AM and then it was sleepy time. My cousin Sarah planned our day Saturday beginning with a big family breakfast. Olivia made a new friend, Sammy who is extended family. They were so cute playing together at the restaurant.

After breakfast we headed back to my Aunt's house to change and while we were there Ben got to meet Pepper (the littlest attack dog) he thought he was so funny. Poor Pepper has to be locked up when people are there because he doesn't like strangers. So Olivia and Ben were watching him through the cage. All she did was laugh. Finally it was off to the pool for a few hours, to let the Little's play. Olivia was in the water for 2 hours and I'm sure she didn't want to get out. If this kid could live in the water she would.

Nope it wasn't over yet, Sarah was taking us to Broadway at the Beach that night which is a huge outdoor shopping and dinning area. Before that we had some rest time with Memom and Pop. Then I got my Margarita from Jimmy Buffet's and that made me happy. We spent hours there walking through the shops and had dinner. It was great.

The Big Race...Ben, Me, Katie, Debbie, Tony, and Joe!

Sunday we enjoyed a lovely lunch on the beach, it was such a beautiful day. Of course we had to take Memom and Mommy back to Jimmy Buffet's for another Margarita before we headed to Aunt Bev's for dinner. Yes!!! Then it was the family cookout where the kids got to feed the swans and just play!
