Beach Weekend

Are we there yet???

Seriously, are we there yet? Thanks to a detour on I-95 our short trip to the beach took 4 hours. Drew didn't sleep as planned (my plan, clearly not his) so it wasn't fun! That's the last time we travel at night assuming Drew will sleep.

We went to Myrtle Beach for a quick getaway this weekend. The weather was scorching hot but their was a nice breeze at the beach so we were surprisingly comfortable. We took a baby pool to the beach to keep Drew cool and it was a hit! George wasn't as excited about it since it took almost an hour to fill it up with the small bucket I brought! Drew absolutely loved the beach! He walked up and down the shore picking shells. He only liked holding one in each hand so when he came across a shell he liked he would look at the ones he had and decide which one to drop and replace with the new shell. He was also fascinated with the advertising airplanes (I'm sure there is a real name for those but I can't think of it) and parasailors. He didn't get sunburned at all but George and I were so concerned with protecting his skin that we came home looking like lobsters. Silly us! On the way home we swung by Wendy's (and Taco Bell but that's because George wanted both. Disgusting, I know!). The line was so long at Wendy's so the cashier apologized for the delay when we pulled around. She said they were short-staffed and things were "wild inside." George replied with "things are wild in here too. I'm hauling dangerous cargo - an attack dog and an angry body builder." She had a look of confusion on her face but then George rolled down the window and the cashier busted out laughing when she saw Bailey and Drewby! I guess her laughter scared them because Bailey starting barking like crazy and Drew started screaming. George jinxed us! Neither of them calmed down so we switched the seating arrangements and I drove in the front with Bailey and George played with Drew in the backseat. The rest of the ride was very nice and I got to sneak peaks in the rear view mirror of George's creative ways to keep Drew entertained! Drew's favorite is when George puts his sunglasses above his eyes and then they fall to their proper place when he wiggles his nose.
