Beach Weekend

What an awesome weekend! I went to the beach with my family and it was so relaxing and fun! I stayed at my sister's condo in North Myrtle Beach. It was so quiet with hardly anyone there and the weather was nice. It was windy and alittle cool on Saturday but the sun was out:) My sister and I ran 5 miles in the morning and then we hung out on the beach in the afternoon. My nieces had been there since Tuesday and had been working on a 'sand house'. Basically, they dug some holes and made steps, couches, and chairs. My sister and I sat there all afternoon and chatted! Kalli and I collected shells on the beach and I got some cool ones and some that were bigger than I normally find on the beach. My sister and brother in law went out with some friends that stayed with us too and they stayed in their 2 bedroom condo at night while I stayed in the 3 bedroom with the kids. I didn't mind, I got the master suite which looks out to the ocean and I slept with the balcony door open and fell asleep to the waves crashing on the beach:)

Kalli rode back with me yesterday and we went to watch the Hurricanes play the Thrashers. The Canes lost which they typically do whenever I go but that's ok because I got to spend some time with just Kalli! I have already taken Jordyn and Kalli to a game this season so I will take Linsey next time. It did take me longer than normal to get home because I accidentally went East instead of West on I-74 and went thru Wilmington. So a 2 1/2 hour drive became a 3 1/2 hour. Good thing I left MB early or we would have missed the beginning of the game! It is very unlike me to go the wrong way because typically I am very good with directions but I'm not perfect! Oh well, I just took the scenic route home, that's all!!

Needless to say, I had a very relaxing but tiring weekend but it was worth it because for the next 3 weeks I will be swamped with work and school. December 7 can't get here fast enough!!! At least I get to go back to the beach in February, can't wait:)
