What I did on my Summer Vacation

It has been a long time since I have posted a blog and I apologize for that. I went to Myrtle Beach with my family during the first two weeks of July and we had an amazing time. Here are just a few of the many things we did while we were there.....

Had a blast at the pavilion!!!! There was almost no one there that night and we barely waited at all to get on any of the rides so we definitely got our money's worth that night. I wasn't too keen on going on the roller coaster again (after I cried on it last year) and everyone made me go on it again - this time it was the first ride of the night!! Last year I had cried on the way up that first hill. This time I wasn't even sitting on the train yet and I was crying. Hey- I'm telling you: rides feel completely different after you have kids!!!!!! The best part of the night was finally going on the Hydro Surge. Every time we had gone to the pavilion in the past, this ride was always closed for some reason. Finally we got the chance to go on it. Except, we had no idea that we would have gotten soaked to the bone!!! The funniest part of the night was when my hubby got on one ride too many and threw up in the garbage can a few times. It was really funny! Too bad that he threw up the amazing steak dinner we ate at the LoneStar Grill....

We had a great idea of going to see the fireworks
at Broadway on the Beach on July 4th. (Broadway
at the Beach is my most favorite place
in Myrtle Beach- there is nothing else like it
anywhere else we have ever visited). As my
daughter had never seen fireworks before, we
figured it would be a great night out. Little did we know that my daughter HATES the fireworks!!!!! As soon as it started, she started saying "I wanna go home! I don't like fireworks!". She was also crying her eyes out. For the remainder of the week, I kept taking out that same outfit that she wore that night (as she had only had it on for barely 45 minutes) and she absolutely refused to put it on. Why you may ask? Because "That's for when we go to the fireworks."

We had an amazing 11 days straight of going to the beach, fantastic weather, and great company. Can't wait to go there again.... maybe next year???????
