Our First Family Vacation!

Girls, we have just gotten back from our very first, super special, short, wonderful, dreamy family vacation!  For many years, Mommy dreamed of having a child to take places and enjoy in all new ways.  Daddy was bitten with that bug, too.  But we weren't sure if it would ever come to pass.  So, our little low budget trip to Myrtle Beach was like living a dream come true - with TWO babies! 

Last April (2010), Mommy and Daddy went to Myrtle Beach and stayed at Springmaid on the beach.  Mommy was HUGE and could barely get around.  This time, I had the pleasure of strolling you girls around their neat property, letting you taste all kinds of new foods for y'all at breakfast, and being on cloud 9 all the while.

Here are some pictures and comments so that we can remember all the special nuances of this first family vacation.
On the way to walk on the pier.  This is the building where our room was on the 2nd floor.
Mommy walked across this lawn a year ago carrying you in my tummy.....waddled may be the better word.
Your Daddy and I tried to imagine bringing you back here and enjoying watching you in spots like this!
This lady was one of the many, many kind folks who gave y'all such sweet attention.
It was amazing how kind people were and how many times we were asked, "Are they twins?"

First stop - Check out the bed.....ok, now what?


First experience on a balcony!  Glad you have that helmet, Molly!

We enjoyed walking on the Springmaid Pier with y'all!  It was perfect weather!
We laughed about a man who stopped us and asked if y'all were both girls.
You were both wearing your cute, pink polka dot sunhats.....

Self Timer Picture of our family!  Girls....you have to learn to count down from 10! 


Oh My, the FUN y'all had in this crib.  You played together so very well!
Macy, during this particular picture, you were GIDDY....laughing harder than I've ever heard you laugh.
I couldn't get enough.  What a fun time!


It is a little crazy that Daddy and I looked forward to Springmaid's breakfast buffet as much as we did!
The great thing was that y'all got to taste foods you haven't ever had before!
You were adorable trying to get the fruit and potatoes in your mouths.


My little Macy....what's more cute?  The hat? or the Cheeks?


Beautiful property at Brookgreen Gardens!  We loved every bit of it!


Our little family sitting under an arch at Brookgreen Gardens...the lighting in this spot was like a movie set....too bad we weren't looking glamorous!
This was a picture I've been wanting to take for a long time!
This is in Anne's Garden at Brookgreen Gardens, Murrells Inlet.
Hoppy Spring Everyone!


To be continued.....
