Myrtle Beach - Post 1 - The Journey Begins

The Transportation....
.....we took a Mercedes to the beach! A 2010 Mercedes Sprinter, equipped with TV, XBox, and 9 seatbelts. The dvd player on the xbox worked in the driveway, but unfortunately, something happened once we got on the road, because it won't even turn on now.

The Crew...
...Teri, Kyle, Kyri, Charlie, Owen, Donna, Aubry, Kay, Bryan

The Seating Arrangment

The Sleeping....
...poor necks

The Breakfast......
.....hosted by the Handells (cousins of Grandma Nancy).....Patrick, Kate, Todd, Linda, Mimi, and Bob. We made it to Spartenburg, SC in exactly 12 hours. The only stops we made were to change drivers and go to the bathroom. The girls stayed strapped in the whole time. TROOPERS!

We left Spartanburg and made it to Myrtle Beach in 4.5 hours. This car ride felt longer than the 12 we just did. The girls got very cranky towards the end, but celebrated as soon as we got to our townhouse.
The View....
....from the balcony off of our room

The Dads...
....even though everyone was exhausted, we decided to dip our toes in the ocean since we were so close to the beach

The Beach!



The Fall

The Mess...
...but still cute!

The End.....
....of day one

This will definitely be the only post posted ON the trip. It took over 3 hours to upload these few pictures. I missed a trip to the pool because I was determined to get this up and running, so I hope you enjoyed it! I promise to post all of the fun we have upon our return, so make sure you check back next week!!!!
