Trip to Myrtle

Last week Nana and I drove the girls to Myrtle Beach to spend some time with my friends from college that I had not seen in 3 years. Nana so kindly volunteered to venture with me on the drive to the beach. She stayed with Aunt Jean while I spent a few days with my friends. The drive was needless to say long and interesting, we like to say adventure. There was lots of potty breaks, pit stops at McDonald's for lunch or just to stretch and play, and even a quick stop on the side of I20 to go potty. Yes, it was fun. The few days at the beach was not as I had planned since there was a tropical storm that forced us to stay inside with five adults and five kids under the age of three. Payton asked me as we drove to meet Nana the last day "Mommy you said you were taking me to the beach but we never saw the beach." Claire did not sleep well and since the three of us slept in one room Payton was up quite a bit, she was a trooper but tired and irritable the next day. At times I felt like I was in a nightmare. Overall I am glad that I went just because I got to spend good time with some of my sweetest friends. I wish I had pictures from the trip, but I was more concentrated on survival. Nana won the grandparent award for being so willing to chauffeur us to and from. We love you.
