Vacation Always Has To Come to An End

fireworks at Pier 14
Ethan just couldn't hang with us any longer
this is what vacation does to a 2 yr old!
downtown Myrtle Beach
we started going to Myrtle Beach when Trey was only 18 months old and now he is 9
Happy 4th of July!


On Friday we enjoyed the beach and pools one last day and then went to check out the Nascar Speedpark. I forgot my camera so no pictures of that. Trey got to drive a go kart on his own for the first time and loved it! A guy (that was leaving) came up to me and handed me a pile of tickets (about as many as we had bought) so we ended up spending a couple of hours there. Daddy took Avery and Trey on some rides and then Ethan drove the mini go karts.

We then went back and went walking downtown and bought all the souveneirs that the kids had been scoping out all week and then we went to the pier to eat dinner and watch the fireworks display out over the water. It was very windy so we had to hang onto our food but it was beautiful eating dinner and watching the sky light up.

Our last night at the hotel was the most eventful one. Avery had been complaining of a tummy ache & apparently something hadn't agreed with her because she woke up at 1:30 am vomiting all over their bed, stuffed animals, blankets, and pillows. I now wish i would have taken a picture of Johnny with a towel wrapped around his face as he was stripping the bed, but it just wasn't quite as amusing while it was happening.

As i write this , we are driving through the Smoky Mountains... God's creation is absolutely beautiful...i'm car sick and Raegan is screaming her blessed little head off...

We arrived safely home on Sunday morning at around 7 am, again with Johnny doing the majority of the driving, although i drove for a stretch when i made him pull over because he had just seen a bear in the road(not really, he was just so tired he was starting to see things).

So kids when you look at this, this is your vacation in review... Myrtle Beach 2008!
