Things Joy learned while on a 9 day vacation in Myrtle Beach:
1 - When you get to the beach, just get wet and then lay down in the sand. Then all the pressure to not get sandy is gone & you can just enjoy building sand castles.
2 - Getting stung by a jelly fish or a man of war isn't that bad, when you 4 years old and your dad tells you how tough you are.
3 - Going to see an IMAX movie IS something you can do everyday, if you want to.
4 - Spending 9 days at the beach means you get to catch the tail end of Black Biker Week and the beginning of Senior Week.
5 - Nate and Henry will NOT participate in Senior Week, or ever go to the beach without parental guidance.
6 - Eating Ultimate California Pizza for 5 meals in 1 week is a good thing. YUM!
and 7 - 9 days isn't enough when you're having a blast with your family and getting tan at the same time.

How FUN!!! yes, I agree that you should just go ahead and get sand all over you to start with because it is going to happen anyway.....we just took Zach to the beach for the first time and he LOVED it! He thought that he could get the water to stop "chasing" him if he threw sand at it!!! I hope we get to go back soon.

I'm glad you got to spend your vacation at the beach, but as for me, give me the mountains! Two days at the beach is just about enough, especially for some of the reasons you gave: sand, bikers, kids, people, people, people! I hear Edisto Beach is a nice quiet place, so that sounds like it would be more to my liking.
