Two weeks ago, we loaded up the minivan and headed out for a 2-day, one-way road trip to Myrtle Beach, SC. (One of the drawbacks of living in the middle of the continental U.S. is that it takes a long time to travel to the ocean...any ocean!) Fortunately, my family lives at the midway point, and since we were vacationing with them as well, we broke the trip up over a couple days. The downside was that once all the fun was over, we still had the 2-day drive home. But we made it, and it was worth every minute of the journey! As promised, here are some pictures:
Of course, the top priority was to swim in the ocean! (Little Miss had been
to the ocean a couple of times, but Little Man had only been once,
and he was too young to remember it!)
They took to beach life like fish to water (pun intended :))

What's the point of going to the beach if you don't build a few sand castles?!
We got to see family we hadn't seen in awhile...like Zoe (above left), and we met
Baby Ezra for the first time (with Little Miss above)
Our resort had a putt-putt course, and the "big" kids got to go with
Nanee and PaPa one evening.
Little Man got a hole-in-one (actually, he got two of them!)
Zoe "walked" down to the playground to play (video to follow in a later post).
The tunnel slide was his favorite.

Another highlight was visiting Ripley's Aquarium.
The kids were fascinated by all the underwater creatures.
They even got to pet horseshoe crabs!

Little Man especially loved the rays.
Overall, I'd say it was well worth the 2-day drive!
