Ahhh, finally at our beautifully beachy destination. It was perfect...we were in the only hotel on the beach, nestled amongst beach homes and quaint little restaurants.

We spent our days beachcombing and playing in the waves. We discovered melt-in-your-mouth crabcakes at a little beach restaurant called Nibils, and we slept with the balcony door open at night so we could hear the waves. It was heaven.
On Monday morning we went a few miles up the shore to Myrtle Beach. We were happy not to be staying there. ..very high-rise-hotel-and-tacky-souvenir-shop-y. Of course, what kids can resist tacky souvenir shops? Not ours. While Theo and Ben chose their souvenirs carefully, Eric and I tried our hardest not to buy matching satin "spring break '08" short shorts. We were strong, and in the end we resisted.

We then spent an hour of family fun in the Ripley's Believe It Or Not museum. Funny how you never even notice these places until you have little boys. When you overhear yourself saying "Hey...why don't we go to the Ripley's Believe It Or Not museum" you know that you've crossed a line in life. A point from which you will never return. We were all satisfyingly horrified and grossed out by the exhibits. Who needs the MOMA?
