Yup, it was awesome fun in Myrtle! First off, the reason we went up was for a baseball tournament. My dh is the assistant coach and my son in the bat boy for an AAU 12 and under team. We headed up Friday, even took the kids out early so we could shoot up there. We dropped off our stuff at the hotel and then went out to eat. Our hotel was awesome by the way. It had two queens in the first room, full kitchen in the middle with brand new stainless steel appliances, and then the living room with a murphy bed and pull out couch. We had a plasma with built in DVD player in our room and the kids had a huge TV with a DVD player in theres. Our balcony faced the ocean which was wonderful to wake up to.
Anyway, we went right out to eat after that. We made reservations for all of us, including all the boys from the team at Margaritaville. That was pretty awesome! Right before our meal, a 'hurricane' hit with the ceiling breaking out in thunder and lightning. There is a spinning hurricane in the middle that had a bottle of margarita mix (tequila? I don't drink so I don't know what goes in it)Anywho, it came down and started pouring into a huge blender. The kids thought it was neat. There was also a woman on stilts that went around making balloon animals, hats and swords for the kids.
After dinner, we all headed down to the pool. They have a huge indoor pool, hot tub and lazy river. Emma and I had great fun floating around the river! We went swimming in the pool. I even got in some laps while Lizzie sat with her on the steps. The hot tub felt good on my legs and feet, seeing as that was as far in as I could go. Last year, it was like a big bathtub, just warm not hot. It was HOT this year.
The first place we hit on Saturday was the NASCAR race track. Michael baby was in HEAVEN! They had simulators that he dug. Emily and he drove these smaller gocarts. They both did awesome. Michael did a lot better than his older sister. It has to be all the driving he does in his GraveDigger powerwheels.
After skee ball and Michael coming away with some cars, we ate at the NASCAR cafe. I thought it would be expensive, crappy food. WRONG! It was $50 for all of us and it was GOOD FOOD. I can just imagine what he is telling his teacher and classmates right now!
After lunch, we headed over to the field. After a LONG warm up because of an hour game delay and a two hour game that ended in a loss, I brought the kids back to the hotel. It was cold and Emma needed a nap. She slept in the car and I took a nap while they watched Monster House. (I guess it does pay to have a 6 disc DVD player in the car. YOu always have movies with you!)
There second game that night they won! We all met over at CiCi's pizza. I LOVE CiCi's! We had them in VA. We have two in our area but one is on the ghetto side and the other is kinda far for cheap pizza. It is good and feeds us all for around $30 AND it is all you can eat! We went swimming some more with the boys afterwards.
It was COLD AND RAINY the next day. We sat in the car for the game. The boys lost bad but can you blame them? It was 53 and rained the entire two hours. They called the second set of games. Fourth place is what they ended up in with their points. We shot over to Fuddruckers for our final meal. MMMMMMMMM!
Though all of this, Emma did not have any accidents. We had a pull up on her on the way there, a diaper the first night and a diaper on the way home. She never used any of them. I am going to ask my sil if she wants the diapers we have left. I have too many to toss and too big for the next baby. I know I will find a home for them. I am just so tickled I am done with diapers.............for like five more months! Then back to the drawing board!
