Once Upon A Vacation...

Johnny listened to hours upon hours of books on cd
all i can say is thank goodness for bottles on this trip!!
our hotel on the beach
all the luggage in our room on the 7th floor
on the road
ok these are backwards but oh well- sacking out watching the movie in the picture below


We hit the highway at 5 pm on Friday the 27th on our long van ride to our destination of Myrtle Beach, SC. The kids were super travelers. We were manned with a mini dvd player, lots of movies, mp3 players, books on cd, nintendo ds, books and lots and lots of snacks and drinks. Towards the later evening we gave the 3 youngest their allergy medicine (convenient that it causes drowsiness!) We heard nothing from the back of the van till it was light outside again, about the time we hit the Smoky Mountains. I have always in the past been the better night driver but i must say i was worthless at driving and only made it about 2 hrs, so Johnny was stuck with the majority of the driving. We arrived in Myrtle Beach around 4 or 5 pm on Sat., got all checked in, went to eat, got some groceries for the hotel room(which i think everyone in the city of Myrtle Beach was doing at Walmart that night!) We finally got back to the hotel and sacked out around midnight. We were exausted!!

This will be a small novel, so read on if you wish.... VACATION 2008....
