The trip

Well, it was nice to get away. I will give a brief synopsis of our happenings this wonderful and restful Spring Break week (can you tell that I haven't missed work:-) Sunday, we went to church and afterwards came home and loaded the car up and headed to Florence, SC (our family lives there). We had a late lunch/early supper at my mom's house. Then, we went to visit with my mother-in-law. After that, we headed to Myrtle Beach. We got there around 9p.m.- we were all pooped that night and went to bed fairly early. The weather was very chilly for most of the week, but by Wednesday and Thursday it was a little warmer. We went to Broadway at the Beach on Monday and shopped a little and then ate at Hard Rock Cafe (it was a long wait, but the food was good). On Tuesday, we went to one of those arcade places off of the beach, and the kids had a great time winning tickets. Josh hit the jackpot on one game and got 450 tickets at one time- I couldn't believe it. Tuesday night, we were able to hook up with my cousin, Nicole and her family for dinner. Nicole (if you are reading this) we enjoyed seeing you guys and catching up with you. Wish we could get together more often. After that, we stopped by the mall. Amber has started to learn to love to shop (this is what she wanted to do all week). Jim and Josh went deep sea fishing on Wednesday (the trip got cancelled on Tuesday because of cold weather). They went on an 11 hour trip- which left us without a car for the day. Neither one got sea sick and Josh caught 2 fish. I may try to add a picture, but last time I tried my computer froze on me. Amber and I went to the beach that day and hung out with the dog at the motel. I tried to talk her into going shopping at a teacher store close to the motel, but she wasn't interested:-) Thursday, we packed up and headed out to the beach for about an hour and then we headed back. Jim took the kids to the Wacatee Zoo as we were leaving. I wasn't feeling well that day (allergies/sinus) so I stayed in the car. They said it was a good zoo. Anyway, it was nice to get away, but I am glad to be back in my own bed again.

This is a long post, but I'm wrapping it up. We had a neighborhood garage sale today. It went very well. We are saving up for a Wii, and we almost have enough now.
