moor, please: MB 2010

We spent ALL last week in Myrtle Beach. We had so much fun! I was honestly a little apprehensive about the trip for several reasons:
1. Colin was going to play golf most mornings - leaving me with Connor (a travelling toddler) and the beach to ourselves (well and the 1 million other people at MB last week)

This picture doesn't really give you the true image of exactly how many people were on the beach with us. But let me just say I am used to this . . .

2. I invited my childhood friend Kelly and her hubby and 2 kids to join us for part of the week since she just moved to nearby Charlotte. Kelly and I used to vacation together as kids with our families at the beach but we haven't done so in probably 20+ years and the condo we rented was only 2 bedrooms 1.5 baths.

3. As you may know, although I have been to MB several times, it isn't my stomping grounds of the Gulf.

I am thrilled to report all of my anxiety was unnecessary. Connor was an angel on the beach, played and let me sit in a chair and (gasp!) put my feet up!! Colin did "naptime" most days for me so I got some Courtney time too. We had such a great time with the Gamble Fam. The kiddos played well together and Will makes delicious drinks - so we hope to vaca with them again soon! MB was HOT, HOT, HOT. Just like I like it. Not too much rain. Oh, and we stayed a few doors down from Connor's Pop Pop and Grandma Cathy so he was just loving the attention (and the beach).

Connor at the pool with Pop Pop and Colin on our last morning. Connor loved pouring water into and out of the bucket - Thrilling.

All 3 of us! Not a great pic - but one that I am in.

Colin REALLY wanted to take Connor to mini-golf (Putt-Putt for the Southerners). Connor LOVED running on the greens and placing the ball IN the hole. Just not the actual putting. Not enough patience (wonder who he gets that from?)
