Last Full Day at the Beach

It was our last full day at the beach. Pam, Rick & Logan left sometime in the middle of the night. Their room was the one reserved for the entire stay so we moved to their room to stay Monday night. After we got it all moved we got ready to go get some breakfast. All I needed to do was change my shirt which was in the van. Dray started down to get it for me and he asked "Where are the van keys?" I had no idea, he had them last. After we looked all over the room for them, we both thought that maybe he had left them on one of the beds in our old room. So he goes up there and asked housekeeping if they had seen any keys. They said no, but they had thrown the bed sheets down the laundry shoot. So Dray and Dylan go down to the van and what do they find? The keys, in Nathan's car seat! Doors Locked! In Myrtle Beach! So we have to call a locksmith to get in the van. $39.95. Which wasn't bad, but still, to cost your self that money just makes you sick. It only took the guy 10 minutes to get there and only 2 seconds to unlock it.

When we got that taken care of we headed out for breakfast. Dylan wanted IHOP so that's where we went. The food was good like always. But the customer service was horrible. There were seats all over the place and the girl seats us in the far back corner. There were no refills, I guess she didn't believe in giving refills. And to top it off she had no personality. It was very apparent that she didn't enjoy her job.

Anyway, after breakfast we took a drive up Ocean Blvd from Myrtle Beach almost to North Myrtle Beach. We had never been that way. We were interested in looking at the houses. Some of them were like mansions. I would hate to see the price tag those houses carry. I just don't see putting my money and my time into a home that could be blown away at anytime 6 months out of the year. Maybe if I had lots of money I would look at it differently.

Back to our vacation.... We went back to the motel to spend some time at the pool. There was a little girl out there that looked to be about 10 playing in the pool with her Mom. They were throwing a ball back and forth. After a while Dylan told the girl to throw the ball to him. So he instantly had a new friend. Her name was Kim, she is from North Carolina and she was in Myrtle Beach for a dance competition. Dylan kept calling her Kim Possible or KP. (For those of you that don't know, Kim Possible is a cartoon on Disney channel.) We had the babies in their floats, they had a real good time. Neither one of them fussed at all. Nathan took a dive face first into the water. Scared the life out of me. He never cried or coughed. He had held his breath which I was so thankful for. He smiled and acted as if nothing ever happened. We all had a great time at the pool. With the exception of me getting upset that Nathan went face first into the water.

Dray got out and went to get us some supper from Burger King. When he got back we all went up to change clothes and eat. After we all were done we went out looking for a place to play mini golf. Dylan loves playing mini golf especially at the beach. All of the places were packed, so we decided we would take him Tuesday morning before we headed home. We figured since it was our last night there, we would go take a walk on the beach. My Favorite! There's nothing more relaxing than being on the beach at night. We actually got the double stroller to roll in the sand. It wasn't easy, but we did it. Nathan wasn't in a good mood while we were there. Jordan was just taking it all in, he seemed to have a real good time. Dylan had fun other than he was very tired and he started crying saying he didn't want to go home he wanted to stay at the beach. We took a lot of pictures and this nice man came by and offered to take a family picture for us. I'm so glad that we got one with all of us in it.

That was about it for our last full day at the beach. Oh, and for the seminar we were supposed to attend, we didn't make it because the keys were in the van.

In the Bubble Share album you will see a picture of a lizard. I saw it on the fence outside of our room window and I took the picture for Dylan cause he was helping his Daddy look for the keys when I saw it.
