Last week my family flew up from MS and we headed over to North Myrtle Beach. Thank goodness this was before all the recent shark attacks around here.. so scary! We left Sunday morning for the 3 1/2 hour drive and arrived around 1pm. We unpacked our stuff and headed down to check out the beach. Tilly wasn't so sure about the wind and excitement at this point! After walking around some, we walked to dinner and started our vacation binge eating on lovely fried food. Yum! Calories don't count on vacation right?!
Monday morning we got up, had breakfast, and all got suited up to check out the beach and pool. We had the cutest baby float for Tilly and tried the "lazy river" pool first. This girl was NOT having the cold water. She freaked out and ended up being anti everything water related that day. As you can see from her lip below, she was not a happy camper. Once we parked her in her blow up pool with some snacks and toys, she did much better!
After a few hours at the beach, we came back up for Tilly to nap and everyone else to get ready. After a few balcony pics, we headed out to the boys' request.. seafood buffet! Tilly ate so much on this trip. She was loving all the buttery, fried foods.
Tuesday was about the same for the morning- pool/beach after breakfast and then baby nap. Thankfully since we had Tilly in our lap for the lazy river and only did the baby pool, she had a much better day and loved the water! Since it was supposed to rain that afternoon, we headed over to Myrtle Beach to the Ripley's Aquarium.. unfortunately everyone else with 100 miles had the same idea and it was PACKED. You could barely move!! But it was neat to see everything and fill up an afternoon. After we left here, another buffet for the guys!
Wednesday morning we walked to breakfast since we were running low on our groceries, and this little baby PACKED in some food. A huge pancake, sausage link, a ton of scrambled eggs, and some potato wedges. She must've been stuffed to the top of her head! haha After breakfast, she had a long nap and then one last afternoon in the baby pool. I just love her in all her sassy little bathing suits!
Lastly, after dinner we headed down for some beach pics. Of course I realized about an hour from home after we left that I left my nice camera at home. Just iphone pics for this trip. But with a sleepy baby and lots of wind, we didn't get the best shots. Oh well, still good enough for the memories!
And Thursday morning we packed up and said goodbye! We dropped Jason, Claire, and Dad off at the airport and headed home to get into turbo last minute party planning mode for Tilly's birthday party that Saturday. It turned out so well, despite her waking up with a fever. Hopefully I will get a post up soon. Sadly today I took her to the doctor after a rash broke out and found out what I thought was a teething fever, was really a virus. Poor baby made it almost a full year without a sick visit to the doctor. Hoping it'll run it's course soon and she will be feeling better by her actual birthday this Sunday, Father's Day!
And there ya have it, another fun filled beach vacay! Not sure if we will have anymore this year, but maybe we can drive over for a long weekend. We definitely do not take advantage of how close we are to so many beaches!
Love the pictures! She's adorable, still!
