Beach Trippin'... May 22nd - May 27th, 2009

This week Mommy and Daddy planned a beach trip for just the three of us. We left out early on Friday morning so that I would sleep for as long of the drive as possible. I'm glad! I don't know how far we went while I was asleep, but we just kept driving and driving and driving even after I woke up!

After a long day, we finally made it to Myrtle Beach; then we had to find a camp ground! Most of them were crowded so we decided to stay at the KOA campground for a couple nights. Boy was that a mistake! At least that's what Mommy said; personally, I loved it. I got to stay outside for two entire days straight, play in the dirt, and get into all sorts of things! (I think that's part of why Mom didn't like it. She also says she didn't like the people that played super loud music and that woke you up at the crack of dawn.)

I loved experiencing the Ocean. I know I saw it when I was younger, but now I could actually play in it! Every time I could, I made a beeline for the ocean.
Daddy also let me help him fly his kite. We did that a lot! It was really neat.
Here I am just chilling at the campsite. Daddy found me this cool chair before we came for a dollar and a half! Mommy liked best when I was sitting in this chair, because otherwise she had to watch me every second. For some reason, she didn't like it when I sampled the dirt.
See our tent... Daddy fixed us a fan to use at night to try to block out some of the noise. After two nights of camping, Mommy and Daddy couldn't take the dueling cars of loud music anymore, and the decided to get a hotel. We booked a night at Litchfield resort, where they spent their honeymoon, and we ended up staying there the rest of the trip! Mommy loved it and said it was so relaxing. I liked it too because I got to play in a really awesome kiddie water park. I hope we go back every year! Daddy is already trying to teach me how to surf. I picked these moves up on my own.

Nothing like a snack on the beach! I just wasn't a fan of the sand taste, but Mom says that's all part of being a kid at the beach. That and sand in your pants.
Here I am posing for Mom at the beach. This is her favorite photo from the trip.

We did a lot of fun things while we were at the beach. We went for walks, played in the sand, and shopped some too. Mommy and Daddy said it was the best vacation ever, and they can't wait to do it again!Here we are right before we left. I was trying to talk Dad into staying another day. Can you tell?
