We were so blessed to be able to use our friend's trailer at Pirateland in Myrtle Beach, SC this year for a long weekend. We went from Thursday-Monday. My aunt, Shlaine, tagged along and we had a great time relaxing.
Leading up to the trip, Rhyan had been sick. As in running a 102 temp kind of sick. Jeff took her to the Dr on Wednesday, just the day before we left, and they assured us it was a virus as her ears looked great and her rapid strep test came back negative. So Thursday morning we loaded up with tylenol and ibuprofen in hand and were SC bound.
We fully expected Rhyan to do very similarly in the car as she had on the way to Orange Beach earlier this summer. Boy, were we in for a surprise. She slept 30 minutes of the 6 hours. And fussed/cried off and on the rest of the way. Oh Lord. She, of course, finally fell asleep ONE MILE from priateland. Geez.
Day one was nice. We got unpacked and then Shlaine and I explored while Jeff got Rhyan down for a nap. We headed out for dinner and settled on Chili's. We were all starving and were excited to find something familiar for our first meal... we werent really up for "trying" new stuff. While at dinner, Rhyan got an upset stomach and required every wipe in my arsenol and finished dinner without clothes. Slightly redneck? Perhaps. But sometimes you gotta roll with the punches.
Shlaine and Jeff both whined like babies when i got my camera out to take pics, so this trip has virtually none. Something i regret and will not be bullied out of again :-) But overall, it was a pretty good first day... and a relaxing first night.
