Beach trip Summer 2017

We got down to Myrtle Beach after 4:00 on Wednesday, June 7. The resort was super nice! It is freezing out. We get unpacked just in time for happy hour. Free drinks and snacks. We sit downstairs for a bit and enjoy that and then walk on the beach. The girls love it!

We get cleaned up and head down to check out the hotel we have booked for Thanskgiving. Then we stop by a California Pizza and eat. After that, we eat ice cream next door at Kirk's ice cream parlor. Then it's bedtime!

Thursday-  we get up and eat breakfast. It's still cold out so we decide to head to Broadway at the Beach and walk around. We decide to go in Ripley's aquarium to see the mermaid show, which the girls LOVED.

Friday- It's finally warm enough for a beach day! After breakfast, we head out and the girls play in the water and sand for 6 hours!!

After getting cleaned up, we ride around and find Myrtle Manor. We used to watch this show when it was out. No shame ;)

 Saturday- another warm day so another day spent on the beach! After that, we head to Broadway at the Beach so the girls can ride the rides. They ride them for about 5 hours and we leave there at 11:30pm. Their longest day ever! They had a lot of fun on them.



We found a Grinch cup! Anybody that knows Riley, knows she LOVES The Grinch!

Thanksgiving trip 2016

We left around lunch time on Friday, November 18th and returned home on Saturday, November 26th. We stayed in a cabin in Sevierville, TN which was about 8 miles from Tanger Outlets in Pigeon Forge. We had a busy and fun time! I will get the video edited and post it in a new blog soon, I hope :)


The Island
 
The girls made their first Build a Bear. Madison chose Poppy from Trolls and Riley chose Marshall from Paw Patrol.
 


 Dollywood
 Making cookies
Met Rudolph
and Bumble..
and watched the Parade of Many Colors in Dollywood
The ferris wheel!
 
Visited Cade's Cove on a Smoky day. 
We saw deer, turkey and a mama bear with her 2 cubs



 
Visited Clingman's Dome and hiked up to the top.
You could see the Lake Lure wildfires from where we were standing. It was really surreal.
It was GORGEOUS views but a really hard walk up and it was so cold that Riley cried.


The girls loved riding the trolley.



A little adult time.

Last day traditional breakfast at Flapjacks
