Beach Trip

Well, we officially survived our first road trip to the beach. On Tuesday evening , Will and I decided to go to Myrtle Beach to celebrate the end of Will's month long travel for work. Getting ready for this trip however, was kinda crazy. My parents were helping me this week so we had to say our goodbyes to them and get everything ready in a matter of an hour to make sure we were on the road before dark. So, we quickly packed everything into the 4Runner which included 2 sets of golf clubs, a pack-n-play, all of our luggage, the stroller, and Lilly's crate which made for a full SUV. Our thoughts on getting a minivan are closer than ever due to this road trip.

Harper did great and slept for the whole ride! We only stopped once and that was for Will and I to grab something to eat. Once we got to the beach we decided to go ahead and play with Harper for a few hours to ensure she would sleep, which worked thankfully. So, in the future we will always try and leave late at night.

On Wednesday morning ,we did our usual while in Myrtle and went to our favorite pancake house. It was so nice to enjoy a breakfast out of the house for once :)

After our breakfast we decded to take Lilly and Harper for a walk on the beach. Let me tell you this was not an easy task but we did it. Trying to get the stroller to the beach with an 90 lb. Lab is a little tough. We looked like a clip from Griswold's Family Vacation. However, once we were on the smooth part of the beach where I could walk Harper it became easy. Harper loves her stroller so she slept the whole time we walked.

We forgot the carrier cover so we had to improvise with a cute blanket
so Harper did not get the sun in her face.

Lilly also enjoyed herself while playing ball and swimming in the ocean. This trip was much needed for Lilly as well since she has been a little neglected since Harper's arrival. It is amazing how much a dog is like a human. She has been acting a little depressed and at times will have a very sad look on her face while looking at Harper. So, we felt that she needed to have some time with us this week.

Later that evening, Will and I decided to take Harper out for her very first golf experience at a golf course near our condo, Arcadian Shores. We contacted the course before hand and told them we were going to be bringing a newborn out for 9 holes which they said was no problem. So, around 5:30 we went out to the course for her first golf round. The first hole was a little rough. Harper was a little cranky but by the second hole she was very content and let us enjoy our round of golf. 

Since, my "push gift" was a new set of golf clubs it was so nice to finally get out on a course and try them out. I must say that this was the best gift because I did much better with these clubs than my old ones. Later this week, Will's Aunt is going to be here in Myrtle and will be watching Harper while we go play a whole round of golf. 

First hole of golf in 6 months :)

Really cannot stand how white my legs are. Looks like I will be tanning this upcoming week.
