Short Getaway

We decided to take advantage of our weekend off (no baseball) and go to Florence, SC to visit with family on the 4th. My mom grilled out for us. Then, we went and saw my brother. I didn't get to see my niece this time. Anyway, I had my mom dog sit for us (this was my first time leaving my little yorkie). We left for the beach Saturday morning and spent one night there. The problem with that is that there is so little time, and the kids want to do everything. Amber had a great time in the lazy river and the pools at the motel. Josh went fishing twice and caught the same kind of fish both times (toad fish)- who knew that there was such thing as a toad fish?? It was ugly too! We came back last night (had to stop by Florence to pick up the dog). She did o.k., but she didn't eat much while we were there. It was a good trip, but it would have been nice to have another day or so to slow down and enjoy it a little more.
