Our Memorial Day Weekend

Memorial Day weekend was spent with a trip to Myrtle Beach.  We left Atlanta Friday evening after work, and stopped at Mimi's house to spend the night. Saturday morning, we got up and headed to the beach.  But not before Micah got a hair cut.

Micah woke up bright and early.  He then woke me up.  Here he is after he got his morning cup.

Of course, I don't have any more pictures from Saturday.  We loaded up the truck {with Mimi included}, and headed to Myrtle Beach.  We actually stayed at Surfside Beach.  After lunch at McAlister's, spending absolutely too much time at Verizon Wireless trying to get Mimi's cell phone fixed, and buying a few supplies, we checked into our room.  We unloaded the truck, and then met up with Uncle Monkey and Auntie Vita.  Then we had dinner, which wasn't all that great.  Finally a ride up the strip to look at all the motorcycles, and we were done for the evening.

Sunday, we slept in until the late hour of 10:30 am.  Then we slowly got our morning started.  Eventually everyone was dressed and ready to go.  We headed out with no real plan, and our first stop was an indoor flea market.  Of course, my body chose that time to betray me, and I started experiencing some vertigo.  Of course, after weeks of fighting with vertigo, Mimi finally remembered that she had experienced vertigo while she was pregnant with me, and that salt and ginger were the foods that helped her.  I ate a hot dog and some french fries, and soon I was feeling much better. Soon we were leaving the flea market, and Uncle Monkey and Auntie Vita left to head home.

We headed to the outlets.  There, we walked around and did a little shopping.  Mostly, we added to Micah's summer wardrobe.  Once we left there, we had dinner.  We ate way too much seafood, especially crab legs.  Micah enjoyed flirting with our waitress, and entertaining us.  From there, we went to Broadway at the Beach, to walk off all the food we had just eaten.

Finally, we made our way to the beach.  Micah wasn't too sure about the beach at first.  He wouldn't let Mikey put him down at all when we first got there.  Eventually though, he relaxed enough to get down.

Once we were all done playing on the beach, we loaded up the truck, and headed to our room for baths all around.  Micah enjoyed a bedtime story.  Of course, he had to read the story himself, and I was not allowed to touch the book at all.

Monday morning, we were up and checked out by 10:00 am.  After breakfast, we hit the road, and left the beach.  We stopped at Mikey's dad's on our way to dropping Mimi off at home.  Mikey and Micah took the four wheeler out for a very, very slow and careful ride.

At the end of the trip, we had a wonderful time and a very tired little boy.
