We had one day in Myrtle Beach so it was very difficult choosing from all of the possible activities. We finally settled on the Family Kingdom Combo Pass for the water park and the amusement park. The water park wasn't huge and the only shade to be found was either at the toddler pool or in the tunnel on the lazy river, but we had fun. We're a little bit sunburned (again), but not too bad. Ben and the kids went on various slides while I hung out with whoever didn't meet the height requirements. I went around the lazy river 212 times, which was just my speed.
We dragged our exhausted bodies to the hotel around 3, and everyone took a nap except Norah (whose 1/2 hour nap in the car apparently qualified) and me. I couldn't risk taking a nap with Norah awake after the incident where Adlani left the hotel room in North Conway while everyone was sleeping. At least I was able to get my email cleaned up.
At around 6 p.m. a severe thunderstorm went through and it looked like a hurricane outside our window. The news was talking about 900 lightning strikes in a period of 10 minutes. It was gone in about a half hour and we went to dinner while we waited to see if the amusement park would reopen. We got to the park around 9 and it was open and almost empty. The kids didn't wait for a single ride - it was great! It was nice and cool too.
Believe it or not, we stayed until MIDNIGHT! We got back to the hotel around 12:30 a.m. and had a snack from the hotel junk food shop and everyone hit the sheets. I'm actually posting this Wednesday morning (sorry Karen!). Photos to follow.
