The Carolinas

We just got back from a 10 day trip to North and South Carolina. We went with Andy's family and flew into North Carolina. Andy's dad is from North Carolina and all his family still lives here. We were able to spend a day in his hometown and visit with family that we(Andy and I) haven't seen in ten years. They hosted a BBQ in our honor where we got to eat great food and catch up with those we haven't seen for so long.

Then we set off to spend a week at Myrtle Beach. Quite a few of Andy's relatives made the trek also so we were able to spend a lot of time with them!! Our condo was right on the water so we spent a lot of time at the ocean. I forgot how much I hate the sand! It gets into EVERYTHING!!! The kids of course had a blast and especially loved the waves. The water there was great because it was so warm. We also spent a lot of time at the pools. My kids absolutely love to swim. Ethan has always liked the water, but turned into a little fish on this trip. His favorite thing to do was to jump in the water, go all the way under, and then climb out the stairs and do it again. . . and again and again and again!! We definitely had to keep an eye on him because one time he jumped in and we weren't near him to catch him. Luckily Andy moved quick and got him! We were also able to fit in a little shopping, hanging out, and some good ol' R&R.
