Vacation

Aw, the sweet smell of the ocean air, the sound of the waves hitting the sand. The laughter of my children as they chase after them and then the cry's that follow as the waves come back in as if they are chasing my girls. Sea shells and handfuls of sand were the best souvienour they came back with and pictures of my babies on the beach were mine.
We spent the weekend at Myrtle Beach. A short, jam packed weekend that was bitter sweet in length. Just long enough to get to ejnoy it and just short enough to be ready to get home but once home wishing for more beach time. Dont many things in life happen this way?!
Blake stood on the beach for the first time at 9 months old. I sat him in the sand at one point and he put his hand down and immediatly picked it back up starring in surprise. Then started touching the sand on his hand trying to figure out what it was....it was too adorable.
We enjoyed listening to the waves as we drifted to sleep, drifting down the lazy river pool, splashing in the 'hot' tub, walking the shoreline, playing minature golf, exploring the hotel and visiting the nearby Hershey Ice Cream Parlor in addition to gift shops. We had a blast. What a great mini vacation to kick off this beautiful fall season!
