As I shared in yesterday’s post, my family excursion to Myrtle Beach last weekend for The Beach Club Track and Field Challenge was a veritable headache and an indubitable “hustle” by the host team, but despite the South Carolinian shenanigans, we were still able to capture a few priceless moments on this trip and turn them into vacation worthy memories.
Upon arrival into town, similar to the way a frequent flier scopes out the exits on his aircraft, I was searching out all of the reasonable shopping sites within a 10-mile radius of my hotel.
We were fortunate enough to garner an amazing 7th floor suite with an equally amazing oceanfront view.
While I was waiting in the lobby for my honey and nephew to finish toting all of our luggage up to the suite….
…the Irish twins were looking for some mischief to get into.
Later that evening, we headed out to satiate our palettes. My Family was in TOTAL agreement, the highlight of the first day was Benjamin’s Original Calabash; surely you can see why!
Saturday began with a beautiful and bright sunrise
But the day proved to be so hot that the tents were up in full force!
The big boy preparing for greatness
And he didn’t disappoint; placing in the top 5
With the LONG afternoon on the field over, a trek to the beach was in order.
After wrapping up an eventful day, we sat on the balcony and watched a lightning storm.
Finally, before shipping out on Day 3, our final stop was to the resort’s Water Park for a little Sun and Fun before returning to reality.
*Note: The baby child stayed with the grands and did not make this trip; what with the hectic schedule of the weekend, and of course his propensity for buck-wild-ness when away from his creature comforts (re: unlimited supply of apple juice, carrot sticks and Nick Jr.).
I miss my family home so much I haven’t been to Myrtle Beach in years.
Peace, Love and Chocolate
