Beach days Sat & Sun

Tonite (Sun) we had our first "really good seafood dinner" at Drunkin' Jacks in Murrell's Inlet. It was SO good. Everyone ate really well and the freshness was awesome. Great view of the marsh while we ate. Dinner was $68 + tip though.... Yes Dad, I hear you.

This was a fish that the kids wanted their picture taken with. Pretty awesome.

Today while waiting for Daddy and Sissy to come out of the ocean so they could go to the pool, Alex set up an army camp on the sand mound that TRIED to keep our umbrella stable. Well, let me tell you our umbrella came out of the hole at least 5 times! NO JOKE! Yes, I did every correct trick to keep it stable, but it was just so dang windy. Rob and Emily had one of the roughest days in the surf that they've ever had. Emily was so beat up that after her shower she kept complaining of her chest hurting.


Here's our pool. We've been able to keep a pretty good balance of ocean/pool time. Alex was complaining of crotch rot today and he needed relief in the pool so we spent the afternoon there.

This is a pretty smart shot. Yes its me and my boob but its also me and the family in the background. =)

Here's a shot from the surf looking thru the buildings at the public walkway and right in the back there is our building. Its really not that bad. The only thing is that we have a stair walkway and so the homeless cart has had to stay in the trunk. That place on the left is called Cape Coddages. There are about 3 sets of them up the beach from us. Really nice and one that we should check out.

All in all it's been a pretty good vaca so far. I had a "down" moment this morning when the kids were either with Rob in the ocean or back at the pool. I really wanted someone there to keep me company and I just couldn't get into my book. So it's been nice just being on vacation as "just us," but it's really hard and sometimes lonely when its just us too. Awww, i miss my family.....
