Beach Trip 2012

We have just returned from Myrtle Beach.  We had an awesome time.  Here is a run through of our vacation..... (I apologize, this is a long post)

We stayed in the North Tower at The Ocean Creek Resort.  This is located across the street from Barefoot Landing.  The condo had 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a kitchen, eating area, living room, and a balcony with an awesome view! 

North Tower - sorry it is so blurry!

On the first day/night, we went shopping at the outlets, grabbed dinner at Chili's (YUMMY!), did some golf shopping (Nicholas got new golf shoes), took a night time visit to the beach, and then hit the sack - we were TIRED!

Checking out the condo...

Recovering from shopping

Nicholas checking out the beach with his daddy...he hasn't been to the beach since he was 2 years old!

Feeling out the water - chilly!!

Grandma and Pop-Pop stayed back with David.

WORN OUT!!!

Day 2 started off with a trip to the beach.  We were ready with our new Sport-Brella, which was AWESOME!!  I fully recommend it for anyone going to the beach!  We weren't sure how either boy would react to the sand and water....Nicholas - LOVED both!  David - LOVED the sand, HATED the ocean!  No one got sunburned - YAY!!!!  We headed in around lunch time, got cleaned up, and headed out to the golf shops, and to play putt-putt.  Grandma and I made spaghetti for dinner.  After our food settled, we headed out to the pool.  Nicholas and Jeremy were the only ones to get in - I thought it was way too cool outside!  But Nicholas had a great time!

We are ready for the beach!!

Putt-putt....the theme had something to do with volcanoes...we had a great time and David hung out in his stroller the whole time...he was a trooper!
The Crawford Family

This sums it up....David is in love with his big brother!

All the DUDES

There were talking birds on the deck...

he was so giggly!

On our last full day, we went back to the beach in the morning, everyone but David and I played golf, we ate dinner at The Chesapeake House (YUMMY!), and then we strolled around Barefoot Landing.

Can we bring this home?




Are we done yet?

Feeding the nasty fish...they were HUGE!

On Sunday morning, we got up and left.  The trip home was just as nice and easy as the ride to Myrtle Beach.  We were definitely blessed with good traveling sons :-)  We had such a great time!
