A day at the beach

Sunny, sunny, sunny! We got to the pool and beach today and enjoyed the sunshine. Bill and Liam built a huge sand castle and Conor played on the beach and pool today. I made good progress on my book and overall it was relaxing. Right now the boys are flying kites on the beach while I'm making dinner. Liam has a purple cow kite higher than the 18 story tower across from us -- WOW!

Rain predicted tomorrow, so we'll play that by ear. I'm sure we'll find something to do.

Monday happenings . . .

Today was a visit to Ripley's Aquarium and boy did we time it right!! We got through the Pirates exhibit and on to the sharks and rays in time for feeding time. One of the rays was really hamming it up for us at a window. When we went to leave, the line was wrapped all the way around to the door. Phew!

When we got back to the condo, we went for a bike ride on the beach. The boys were nuts and rode back and forth through the inlets. Goof balls!!

Last night we went to the obligatory seafood buffet for dinner --- Giant Crab! Conor swears he was here before with Grandma. Anyway, it was good although, with an allergy to shrimp now, it isn't the best idea for me. Bill did teach me how to crack crab legs, so it was worth it.

Time now for the hot tub and indoor pool. We should warm up tomorrow :-)

I'll try to upload photos later -- I had problems yesterday and could only get the one of the Easter Bunny and Liam up.

Who knew the Easter Bunny was in Myrtle Beach?

Liam grabs a treat poolside -- literally, sweet!

Happy Easter!!

I will not complain about the cool temps and wind here since Cleveland is under 2 feet of snow today. I will not complain about my pasty white skin since I'm avoiding self tanners that caused me a rash. I will not complain about the plastic egg that took a leap off our 16th floor balcony overnight. I will not complain about our view -- sure it is of the ocean, when I sit on the couch or the balcony, but NOT when I'm anywhere else in the condo -- then it is a trailer park and tower I see.

No, I'm going to sip my wine and enjoy the holiday today. I'm not cooking dinner, I've read a gossip mag, and I'm only ONE WEEK away from running again!! I'm very optimistic that I will be running pain free (in my foot anyway) in a few months.

Have a wonderful Easter and enjoy your blessings.

Sunny skies!

We are under sunny skies but cool temps here in Myrtle Beach -- sure beats Lake Effect SNOW!!

We arrived at our resort around 2:00 AM and the van died in the parking lot! I swear that every trip we take, the van wants to visit the local Ford dealership. In 2001, the air conditioner died in Tennessee in July, Myrtle Beach 2003 the check engine light came on for the first time, Lake Placid last year, the brakes went hokey. There have been other little excursions . . . oh well, we'll see how she goes today and tomorrow and visit the local dealer if needed on Monday.

Time to get some groceries and eggs to color . . . . more posts and photos to come!
