I’m not sure what the heck happened… I never put a “private” post in, but yet the post I did yesterday came up private… I got your comments but wasn’t sure what the heck you all meant! It wasn’t until Kate said something about private that I realized it came up that way… not sure why! I checked it and it said public… so I’m trying to post it again to see what happens…. let me know if you can read it! (Edited to add…. I think it had something to do with the new category… not sure why it went private though!)

Well I’m back, and not so happy about it, lol.

The beach was fabulous!! I can’t begin to tell you all the fun we had, and boy did we ever. From the first day we got there to the last morning before we left there were loads of fun things to do, a great beach which I took full advantage of, many laughs, and just a relaxing kind of attitude that I personally haven’t had in a long time.

I have a ton of pictures to upload, but here are some of the highlights…

The first day we were on the beach to watch the sunrise and were in the water by like 7:30am. The water was SO warm and each day was seemingly more perfect than the last. I definitely got some color, sunburn would be one of those colors one day, lol… but by the 3rd day into it my sunburn turned into a nice golden brown…. My son was way more into the water fun. We brought his boogie board and everyday he tried to see what waves he could catch – by the end of the week he was a little pro! He even braved the waves on the day that I wouldn’t even go in because of how high they were! (But I wouldn’t let him go out that far either, lol)

For fun during the day when it was too hot on the beach we went shopping, to the Myrtle Beach Aquarium, Margaritaville for lunch, miniature golfing, out to dinner a ton of times, souvenir shopping, Barefoot Landing to watch fireworks, and what I think was our favorite… we went to MagiQuest…

If you haven’t done Magiquest you absolutely MUST go! It’s like being inside a video game of sorts where you have to find clues that lead you to different items that you have to collect and bring to whomever, such as the “man in the tree.” All you get is a book and a wand and 90 minutes of fun… but let me tell you – it IS fun!!!! For example, we had to find the freeze emblem so we had to hunt down these symbols that we can only figure out by reading the clues… and then we had to run around this HUGE building (both up and down stairs) to figure out what they were talking about it. It really was the coolest thing ever… but boy, by the time our 90 minutes were up my feet hurt and I was exhausted, lol. Each quest you take on gives you a different emblem and then after you do all 12 of them you get to go on an adventure. Your wand builds up points and you use it to wave and point at an item so like if you wave it at a treasure chest it will “magically” open up and things will start talking to you. SO FREAKING COOL! My son had a blast with it, and even though we were only able to get 5 done in the 90 minutes, we can keep our wand and go to another MagiQuest and finish it up! You gotta love interactive stuff like this! Secretly I think I enjoyed it more than he did, lol, as all the parents seemed to be WAY more interested in finding the clues than that kids, but they loved all the stuff the wand could do. I highly recommend it for children and adults!

Let’s see… what else can I tell you… hmmm… I don’t even know. We did SO much but yet, it is so much of a blur! It went by so quickly so when I look at the pictures I’ll inundate you with good stories :-) Hope you all had a great week and I will be certain to come visit your blogs today to catch up on what I missed with you!
