A Little Bit About Us: South Carolina Vacation

We had a great time on our vacation to South Carolina! We first visited Keith, Jenn, and Collin for a few days, then we headed to Myrtle Beach for a few days. It was a long week, but it was lots of fun!

We left last Friday morning at 3:30 in the morning, hoping that Addison would continue to sleep for a couple more hours. Well, we were wrong! She was wide awake once we put her in her car seat and didn't fall asleep for about 2 hours (and only slept for about 30 min.) She napped very briefly later in the day and that was it! Luckily she was in such a tired daze that she was pretty quiet/out of it for most of the trip! It wasn't until we were about 2 hours from Keith and Jenn's that she started getting tired of being in the car...so we turned on some movies and she was happy :)

She was so tired she fell asleep with lots of toys in her lap. When we tried to take the car away, she woke up for a brief second to try to keep us from taking it, but she didn't stay awake quite long enough :)

Addison and Collin didn't pay too much attention to each other, although Collin liked Addison more than she liked him...hehe :) She loved all of his toys and said "no, bee (baby)" when he came close to her, afraid he was going to take "her" toys away!

The first day we were there, Saturday, we just hung out by the pool and relaxed. Addison saw that Collin would wear his swim floats, so she finally decided that she would wear them too! (She refused to wear them whenever we swam at my parent's house). Then on Sunday we took a trip to Charleston, which was a really neat place! We'd love to go back sometime! We let the kids play on the playground, walked around for a while and found a really cool fountain, and went to a yummy seafood restaurant for dinner (followed by fudge and ice cream).

On Monday we went out on the lake, let the kids swim, drove around so they could nap, and did some wake-boarding...well, Chunny, Keith, and Jenn did, I didn't :)

We left the Fishburn's on Tuesday and headed to Myrtle Beach until Friday. Addison got to swim in the ocean for the first time and really liked it! She wasn't too sure about the taste of the salt water at first, but then decided that playing in the water was worth it :) We had to keep a hold of her because the tide was so strong it would knock her over! She loved finding seashells on the beach and digging in the sand.

Our resort had about 10 different pools that Addison really liked too! There was a kiddy pool that was only 1.5' deep with a couple slides that she loved! There was also a deeper pool that had a little channel to a shallow pool that was really nice too!
