First stop...Myrtle Beach!

Last Thursday we set out on a small road trip to the beach. We started out at Myrtle Beach for the first 4 days. It took us about 5 hours to drive there. It was awesome. Rueben likened it to Cancun, except everyone there spoke English. I didn't think it was as shady as Cancun and it was safe to drink the water. After settling at the hotel, we made our way to Broadway on the Beach. Food, entertainment, and shopping all conveniently located. Pour me something tall and strong. Make it a hurricane before I go insane. Here we are at Margaritaville, where Rueben and I both drank some damn good Hurricanes. We also did split a margarita, cause you can't go to Margaritaville without having one. Needless to say, we were feeling pretty good and happy after that!


There was a ferry that would take you from one end to the other. Here we are waiting for it.

The view from the boat as we are leaving Margaritaville. We couldn't have asked for better weather. Hot, humid, and with a cool breeze.

I just need to say that I am one lucky lady. This fierce hotness of a man is all mine. Looking good babylove!

All 3 of us driving motorized boats. Rueben's boat was broken.


This is just but a little glimpse of the carp that eagerly await for fish food. There must have been 200 of them, at least. Freaky and cool looking at the same time.


The flowers envy her beauty.


BEWARE THE JAWS OF DEATH!!

We ended up at Ripley's Aquarium. They had a pirate exhibition and the kids loved it. We couldn't pry Sam off the cannon and Isa keeps saying "AAARGG!". Too funny.


This is what happens when you don't do what the captain says.


These kind of chameleons were prized pets for pirates. They were thought to possess magical powers. I wonder if that is what Boy George was singing about.


We were both very naughty and they shackled us up. Too bad they didn't make small one for the kids. JK!

The aquarium part was absolutely spectacular. They have this long clear tunnel. All types of sharks, fish, turtles, eels and other majestic ocean creatures. Good times!

This pearl is rockin the clam!






After our fun adventures at the aquarium, we made our way to the beach. It was wonderful to see the expressions on the kids faces as they dug their feet on the sand and approached the ocean. The beach was clean, the water warm, and the waves calm. We fell in love with the Atlantic Ocean.

I know, isn't the Atlantic great. We looked at all of you vacation posts, it looks like you had a great time. Do you use a software to create your very cool blog?

those carp fish at myrtle are nothing to mess with, they will literally eat your face off! kidding, but next time you are there, you can save money and increase fun by spitting in the water or throwing ur gum out instead of buying the fish feed. its pretty hilarious.
