Nana, Papa, and Myrtle Beach

This past week Nana and Papa came to visit us (hence the absence of posts on the blog.) It was so nice to see them and spend time together. Not sure if Christian remembers living in their home for 3 months, but he was happy and took to them instantly, always greeting them with big smiles. :o) My mom helped me in the garden which needs a lot of weeding and pruning (what a difference a couple of hours makes though!) While we were slaving away doing yard work (haha) Steve and my dad played golf on base and at a golf course that lies on a historical battleground. We went to Columbia a couple of times for more variety (restaurants, shopping, etc.) AND one night Steve and I were able to go to dinner and a movie (Iron Man 2...aww remembering Edwards) while Nana and Papa watched Christian. Yay for a MUCH needed date night!
At Swan Lake before it began to pour...Nana and Papa brought the rain with them from Colorado.
Mid-week we took a little trip to Myrtle Beach which is less than 2 hours away and enjoyed the sunshine and beautiful golf courses. We stayed at the Breakers which is located right on the beach and is perfect for relaxing. They have several pools, hot tubs, and a lazy river. Even though I have been meaning to take Christian to the pool in our subdivision, it hadn't happened in the two weeks we had been living here, so Christian took his first dip in the pool at Myrtle Beach and really seemed to enjoy splashing in the water.
This was the view from our hotel room balcony!
Murrells Inlet marsh walk...they had the best restaurant: Dead Dog Saloon...amazing hush puppies!
It was so nice for my parents to be able to take a week-long vacation and stay with us a little longer. Thank you for coming to visit us! We miss you and enjoyed our time with you!Christian and Nana thought they could get away with it....
