Like any adventure being a Mom is chalk full of moments that can take my breath away. Sometimes it's because I'm avoiding the aroma of stinky feet or a dirty diaper, other times it's a slice of amazing only kids can bring that leaves me staring in awe. My rollercoaster life raising 6, soon to be 7 kids can be chaotic at times, but embracing the insanity is half the fun.

Myrtle Beach

Well despite obstacles, we’re leaving for Myrtle Beach in two hours!! First there was money isssues, which almost prevented me from going. Then yesterday the car rental place called and said they’d overbooked their rentals and they didn’t have the car they’d promised, in fact they said they didn’t have ANY vehicles available. (stillnot sure that they will have one when we go in to pick up at 9am- Jen is working some kind of voodoo magic on this one) But hopefully all goes well we’ll be leaving in 2 1/2 hours for South Carolina! Me, my friend Jen, her two kids, and 5 of my kids.

Yes we are probably crazy, and may come back with a few more gray hairs, but I am anticipating a fabulous time!!!! My kids have never seen the ocean before, so it will be fun to watch them absorb the beauty of it all. It will be a long drive. 13 1/2 hours if no stops, and ofcourse there will be stops LOL In fact we’re leaving today at 9:30am driving to Knoxville, TN and staying the night there in a hotel then leaving Saturday to go the rest of the way.
I’m so excited. We’re planning an Easter egg hunt on the beach!! So many awesome memories to make. Haven’t been to Myrtle Beach since 2005 (That was my first and only time to see the ocean) It was amazing and I’m sure this time will be even moreso. Can’t wait to share photos!!
Here are a few I took last time. I can almost hear the ocean. :)

I’m taking my laptop, so given we have internet I’m sure I’ll be giving updates!

Later Tators! Have a great Spring Break!
