I Want 2 Be @ The Beach....
My Long Holiday Weekend ROCKED!!! It ended up being the most memorable and wonderful time we had in some time. On Sunday morning Ben & I wanted to do something FUN and away from home so we decided to pack up and headed down to Myrtle Beach, SC!! It didn't take much convincing Ben to get away for a couple days & we were quickly on our way. I called the Caravelle Resort where we like to stay and got a great deal for two nights in a King Suite-OCEANFRONT. We took our time getting down there and made a wonderful ride of it. We got to Myrtle Beach mid-day and it was HOT and breezy. The Resort was recently renovated and it was even more beautiful. We checked in and got to our room...OMG let me say I felt like we were in paradise!!! The room was amazing, on the 14th floor, king "heavenly" bed, HUGE bathtub, and a 42" Plazma Flat Screen TV on the wall. The view of beach from balcony was perfect and picturesque.....Our day/evening was fun, we ate some good food and headed over to Pavilion for rides and shopping. I love being at the beach anytime, but since it was Labor Day Weekend, it was even better. We shopped, rode amusement rides (a few) and hung out on the strip. We got back to our room about 12am and pretty much called it a night...
Woke up to early to waves crashing outside our balcony...Oh what a sound!! We "enjoyed" our early morning together, wishing we did live closer and it was a longer weekend that we could stay there. Being on the beach is something I miss so much being here in Charlotte. Granted it is less than 4 hrs to coast or mountains. Both of us relaxed and chatted about what we were wanting to do all day, since we didn't have a time frame as to when we had to get home. We left to eat & decided to partake in some good ol' Mini-Golf. We played across the street from the beach and had a blast. We then drove back to the Resort to change into bathing suits and get ready for a day at Pavilion on rides (they opened at 1pm). We rode the rides all day long as many times as we chose to, got soaked and acted like a couple kids on vacation. We didn't any lines or hold-ups since a lot of people left in the morning to head home. We shopped some more and took in the perfect Labor Day weather. It was about 85 degrees and sunny and both of us got some sun too.
We returned to Resort and hung out in the hotel room, we were debating on what time we should head home, so we got showered and packed up. We definitely did not want to leave, it was a great two day stay. Before we knew it, it was 8:30 and we were ready to head home to Charlotte. The trip home was good, it was just very dark, boring and long (as always when coming back from a trip). We got home around 12:30 am and crashed out on bed as soon as we were unpacked.
Today is very quiet in the office and I will be heading home early because no one is here today in my dept. Tomorrow everyone will return to office and work load will once again be steady and I'll be learning more.....
Hope you all had a great Holiday and I will update as soon as I can. :0)
