In celebration of our 4 year anniversary, as well as our last vacation before the baby arrives, Kevin and I spent the weekend in the city of Charlotte, North Carolina, and the rest of the week at a beach house on Surfside Beach in South Carolina. I have never been on that side of the coast before so I don't know what the water is typically like, but the week we were there the waves were the biggest, strongest waves Kevin and I have ever been in! About 3 times I got knocked over by a huge wave that whipped me around under the water. It was a little freaky, but I made sure to dive through the huge ones when I could. The awesome thing about the waves was that they were very consistent, which ofcourse made it more fun but also tiring because you were constantly fighting against them and the crazy strong current just to be able to stand. We had a blast!
CAUTION: DO NOT BUY THIS TENT!!!
Kevin and I bought this tent at Academy while here in Texas, thinking it would be perfect on the beach. Well it was perfect until it BROKE the very first morning we used it! The wind was just too strong for it and snapped one of the supports. We thought we just bought a bad one so we went to Target and bought the exact same tent. It worked great for the morning but BROKE that afternoon in the exact same spot as the other one! This tent is nothing but a good idea gone BAD!
Our cozy little beach house that some friends blessed us with practically free of charge!
This was our fun ride to the beach each day!
THANK YOU, GOD, FOR BLESSING US WITH 4 YEARS!!! We celebrated our anniversary,Wednesday, July 21st, at a Japanese Steakhouse...
We saw advertisement for "The Best Fireworks Show on the Beach" so we decided to go. I had my cotton candy and camera ready for a good show. We got there at 9:30 and it was soooo crowded that we had to park behind some buildings (lame view), but still I was excited about seeing "The Best Fireworks Show on the Beach" and it was our anniversary night so the view didn't bother me too bad. You wanna know how long "The Best Fireworks Show on the Beach" lasted?? TEN MINUTES!!! They started at 9:30 and ended at 9:40. It took us 30 minutes to drive to the Boardwalk, another 15 minutes to find a place to park, ALL FOR A 10 MINUTE SHOW WITH A LAME VIEW!! All we could do was look at each other, laugh, and say, "Really?? That was it??" At least I had my cotton candy to eat on the 30 minute drive back to our beach house. These are the only 2 pictures I got...
Funnel Cake. Who doesn't LOVE it???!!!
This Mama's last vacation without her baby at her side!
