We have been having a great time on our visit with Eddie, Kim and the kids. The weather has been very nice in Myrtle Beach and there is a lot to do here. On Tuesday we took Nadia down to the pool for a bit and I sat with her on the first step for a little while. She seemed to get a little nervous after a while, so I got her back out. That evening we walked down to the beach and she enjoyed looking at the kites that people were flying.
The kids have had a great time with Nadia and she gets a kick out of all the people to play with. She has been getting tired pretty quick on this trip, but she is getting a lot of stimulation with the kids and the new things to see. We have really enjoyed the visit with the Bakers.
We took her out and just stood in the water so that she could look at the waves coming and going. She checked out the ocean like she does everything else she is curious about – with intense concentration on her little face. On Wednesday we all got up and went to the Ripley’s Aquarium which was really cool. I got some good photos and I will up load them when we get home. The sharks and saw-fish there are really awesome, but I think my favorite thing was the sea dragons.
While we were there at the Boardwalk we went to Wee R Sweets to get TAFFY. We got a bunch of this 2 years ago and the stuff is awesome!!!! They make it fresh on site and they have a cool machine called a kiss wrap that wraps the 150 taffy’s a minute. We got a whole bunch more this time to last us a while.
For dinner we went to Rossi’s and it was awesome just like last time. They have a fried lobster appetizer that is FANTASTIC. (it’s all about the food you know). We went back to the beach in the evening for a bit and Nadia just watched the people go by once again and got a kick out of all the little kids she saw.
Today we went down to the beach and let Nadia play in the sand and in the water. She explored in the sand quite a bit and the water seemed to make her nervous even though she was with Mike. But she looked so cute in her little swimsuit and cover-up.
We are going to hit the road in the morning and head back home. We are going to stop in Augusta and visit with the Hatchers who went to China with us. Jaida and Nadia can have a reunion after just 3 weeks. Hee hee. Then we should get home sometime on Saturday and life will settle into a normal routine….back to work and all that stuff.
I will post all the photos from the trip when we get home. We have a lot and Nadia got to meet a lot of new people on this road trip, but she has just done wonderfully. She fits right into our family and our lifestyle.
