We took our first vacation in five years!!!! This was Shiloh's, Jude's, Lottie's and Clementine's first trip to the beach and their first time to see the ocean! Needless to say, they loved it.....we all did. We love the beach and we LOVE Myrtle Beach! We had a nice set up this year. We decided to forgo the bell and whistles. We stayed in a small condo, with only six units! It was spacious and quiet....except for us maybe. It was beach front, so walking distance which made frequent bathroom breaks (like every fifteen minutes) easy. Marcus and I drank coffee on our balcony which faced the sunrise, each morning, while the kids watched cartoons. The beach was not very crowded each day, so we were able to snag a great spot right in front of our condo each morning. One drag was a new beach rule that was establish since our last visit to Myrtle Beach. No canopies or Tiki Bars on the beach. We have a canopy that we bring camping that is large enough for our family. We consider it a large umbrella, but Myrtle Beach considers it a canopy. We were asked to take it down the very first day. Our glorious shade, perfect for our big family! But, Dad improvised like a boss! How bought us five beach umbrellas that worked well for keeping the sun off of us!
We visited our favorite restaurant, Pier 14! It is located on the Pier and is a great, family friendly place! The kids love the Frisbee souvenir that get after they finish their meal (they actually eat off of the Frisbee!) We rode the Sky Wheel, a gigantic Ferris wheel that gives a spectacular view of Myrtle Beach. We rode it at night! The lights were amazing! We built sand castles, sand creatures, sand trenches....everything you can think of with sand. We buried each other in the sand! We felt the waves, we rode the waves, the waves stole our sunglasses. We splashed in the waves from sun up, literally to sun down. We celebrated the Forth of July with a spectacular firework show on the beach. We even made a special announcement at the beach! We attended a dinner theater at Dolly Parton's Pirates Voyage. We are never disappointed with the dinner theaters in Myrtle Beach. We have seen all of them! We mostly spent our time on the beach, soaking up the atmosphere. We got sunburns and sun tans. We ate picnics on the beach. We ate out a few times, but preferred to cook in our condo most of the time. We enjoyed the break and making memories. See you next time, Myrtle Beach!
