Friday

Well we were suppose to just drive home today. Well we decided to take the scenic route home and went up 17 North. Well we got to Myrtle Beach and said lets stop and go to the beach. We went to a Wings store and bought the kids a towel and then walked over to McDonald's for lunch. Well there they had a tourist book and on the back cover was Ripley's Aquarium. We called to see how much and they do indeed have the best Military discount ever. All of us got in for $15. One normal ticket in $20. how sweet is that. Any how so we went to the aquarium and had tons of fun. The kids love these places. The kids have been to the one in Pigeon Forge with James and so they knew all about things. They are so funny. After walking through the Aquarium we decided we would walk the boardwalk too. So we went and did that. Found a play ground on the boardwalk. Weird I thought but lots of fun. The kids got to go play and had a blast. James had a set of monkey bars that were just his size. So I am including a video of him doing it and it is just funny. Or I should say James and i think it is. This kid is just a monkey. Well after the boardwalk we did head out to the beach. Little James is the only one who braved the water and really did get wet and had a lot of fun. The girls liked the sand. Any how we stayed there for a while and then drove up to Jacksonville NC. We stopped in and saw one of my good friends there and saw her kids. Bethannie and her son are suppose to get married. We just joke about it. Don't any one think we are doing arranged marriages or anything but the kids were funny together. They have not seen each other in 5 years and so I know they do not even remember each other but after only 2 hours they were hugging each other and acting so sad because it was time to go. it was just funny. So there is a pic of Bethannie and her future husband. Thanks Monica for letting us stop in and see you guys. It was tons of fun. Well after not leaving Monica's house till very late we got a hotel room there and crashed.
