Vacation & Family

Three weeks ago, Ben and I tagged along on vacation with my parents to Myrtle Beach, SC.  We spent 5 days there enjoying the beach and each other's company.  If you haven't been to Myrtle Beach, you should definitely go!  The beaches aren't as crowded, the water is warmer, and it's so relaxing there.  It was HOT while we were there and the water felt great but there were a lot of jellyfish so we didn't get in the water too much.  Just enough to cool off and return to our chairs.  Here are some pictures of our vacation!

Beautiful beach

Even South Caroliners know how awesome crabs and Old Bay is!

I love my parents

At Broadway on the Beach, they have these GIGANTIC fish that you can feed.  They really are huge and live in a lake in the middle of the shops.

Mom and I found these t-shirts in a store at Broadway on the Beach.  Aren't they perfect?

One of the restaurants we went to had these beautiful stained glass lights of different sea animals.

Shark week!

Another picture of the gigantic fish.

One night we went to the Carolina Opry and saw the show, Good Vibrations.  It was a show of music from the 60s, 70s, and 80s.

Cheech and Chong paid us a visit

This guy was amazing on guitar!  I liked him a lot because he had played with Rascal Flatts before :)

After our vacation in Myrtle Beach, we came home to get ready for Ben's extended family to visit.  His aunt & uncle and cousins were in town from Texas.  We had all of them over for dinner along with Ben's parents and siblings the Sunday after we got back.  It was great to see them and we ate a ton of good food.  Now we will have to try to get to Texas sometime soon!
