Crockett Family: Family Vacation

We just got back from a wonderful family vacation to Myrtle Beach!!! We went with 3 other couples. We only knew 1 of them when we went. One of my very best friends from high school, her parents, hooked us up with a great place to stay. It was perfect. We each had our own 2 bedroom condo with a full kitchen!! Since there were 8 adults and 6 kids under the age of 3, we were thankful for the kitchen to make meals instead of eating out every night!

We started our trip off on Thursday evening and stayed on my parents boat in Marietta. They were down there for the Sternwheel Festival. It's so much fun every year, we were so glad we were able to be there for at least one day. We spent Thursday night and Friday night on the boat. We ended up leaving at 4:00 am on Saturday to start our long drive to Myrtle.

The drive wasn't too bad...well, it might have been for Rob, you'll have to ask him. We stopped around 7:30 am for gas and doughnuts. The kids woke up then. Then we stopped again, about an hour later for diaper changes and to get the boys dressed.

Once we arrived to Myrtle, Aidan was REALLY ready to be out of the car!! And so was everyone else. We met up with Scott & Laura and their 2 kids at Broadway at the Beach for lunch. Cole & Molly got to feed the fish after we ate.

We did a lot of swimming at the pool and took the kids to the beach one morning. The babies were eating lots of sand, Cole was screaming he wanted to be in the water with the BIG WAVES, Molly was screaming she wanted NOTHING to do with the ocean!!

We had such a great time, I'm ready to start planning next years trip.

Enjoy the pictures below of our fun!!!!
