Yesterday was the first official day of our vacation. We left Ringgold on Saturday around 7:45 P.M. after Jason got home from work. We arrived in Myrtle Beach around 3:15 A.M. and immediately took Elijah to the balcony of our condo to look at the ocean. Then we all crashed.
Sunday morning, a few hours later, Eli rolled over in bed and announced that it was time to get up. Jason said, "Well, I guess I can sleep when I'm dead." So we all got up, showered, and went to breakfast at Denny's. Where else? :)
As we left Denny's a man approached Jason about "earning" some free Ripley's aquarium tickets by going to a timeshare preview on Monday morning. Thirty minutes later, we left Denny's with an appointment for a timeshare preview and the promise of 3 tickets to the aquarium and $50.00.
We went to our condo and got ready for THE BEACH! Elijah was so excited. Aw, who am I kidding? So were Jason and I. We stayed at the beach for a while, played in the pool, Jason and Eli rode in the lazy river, we went back to the beach. We were basically beach bums for the a few hours. It was wonderful! Then it was nap time. Jason went to the grocery store for breakfast and lunch foods while Eli took his nap and I watched t.v.
After nap time we decided it was time for dinner. So we went to Godfather's Pizza. (We had looked for one last year on vacation but never found one.) I wasn't overly impressed, but Jason enjoyed it and Elijah got a sticky bouncy ball on a string. So he was happy. He decided he wanted to go to the beach again. I couldn't resist, so Elijah and I changed into our suits and went back to the beach while Daddy stayed on the balcony and took pictures of us. We were using Eli's new beach toys that we bought a few weeks back. Somehow the ocean got ahold of the rake that came with the set and swept it out to sea. I was more interested in keeping track of Elijah and making sure he didn't become shark bait to worry too much about the rake. But Elijah was upset that he lost his "scraper" in the sea.
Then it was back to the condo for Eli's second shower of the day and my third. Then a good night's sleep was had by all.
