We drove down to Myrtle Beach for a long weekend to visit Brian's family. Usually I drive down myself and Brian fly's and joins us. However this year, Brian drove down with us. He worked in the car while I drove. It's definitely not a fun drive but it's great once we get there. Nana has a pool and the kids love that! They swam everyday.
We went to the beach one day. There was a stingray warning so we didn't go in the ocean much. The kids wanted to play in it a bit though. Luckily no one got stung. We also went to their membership pool area. That was a big hit! Everyone loves the pool.
We hung out at Melissa's house and the kids played in the water bounce house/slide. That was a lot of fun for the kids. We also went to the Pirate Voyage dinner interactive show. That was really good! Melissa even knew people so Austin and Sydney were in the show and so us Melissa, Jonathan, Brian and I. Austin and Sydney won their challenge. However us adults did not and we actually got booed. Melissa spoiled the kids and brought them all kinds of pirate stuff. It was a fun night.
We also went to the water park there. It was a little rainy of a day which was perfect because it was not crowded at all. We had a lot of fun. Austin rode some crazy water slides. He loved it. Sydney enjoyed the lazy river and a few smaller water slides.
On our last night, we went to Lulu's for dinner. They have a kids play area with water and sand. The kids got soaking wet and had sand everywhere. They enjoyed it though. I was a little stressed about the mess but I guess it was worth it for them.
We had a great time there! Then we drove to Hershey to try and make up some of the rain days from July. We went that evening after we arrived at our hotel and it was great. We rode several roller coasters as a family. We even got to ride the racing roller coaster which was a big hit for everyone. I am usually not a fan of roller coasters but the kids were having so much fun it made me like them too. Poor Brian had to ride the Hershey Tower like 3 times with Austin. We are not a fan of that ride but Austin absolutely loves it. I have to say my favorite was the racing roller coaster. But Comet and Super Dooper Looper is cool too.
Then next morning we checked out of our hotel, then went to the Park for a bit. Again we started with roller coasters. Then we went to the water park It was insanely crowded. In fact, Austin and I waiting like 45 minutes just to ride one slide. Unfortunately we didn't get to do much. Then we had to drive home. It was a great family vacation though.
