Myrtle Beach

We just got back from a trip to see Jim's parents in Myrtle Beach. Seamus had a blast and was spoiled rotten. The schedule was packed with fun events (e.g., beach, aquarium, Pirate Voyage dinner and show, Brookgreen Gardens, etc.).  We met lots of Grammie and PaPa's friends.  They've established a wonderful, caring community.  The weather was beautiful, but very hot.  I had forgotten how brutal the heat can be in the South.  Thank goodness for air conditioning!!  (Seamus just told me to write that the beach sand was hot.)

Here's a picture of Seamus on his very first plane ride before take off.  He did exceptionally well and was a real trooper.

By the second flight of the day, he was over the excitement. 

Here are the pictures from the aquarium.  Seamus says, "The jelly fish were as squishy as a gummi bear."  In addition to touching the jelly fish, he got to touch a horse shoe crab and a sting ray.  He even went on a glass bottom boat, but refused to let go of the railing!  He was a little freaked, but had fun. 

Here are shots from the beach visit:

In addition to fabulous landscapes and sculptures, there was a mini zoo at Brookgreen Gardens.

Grammie and PaPa took Seamus to a dinner/show called Pirate Voyage and Seamus got his face painted while there.  Arrrrrgh.  Good times.
