We were ready for our first trip after enjoying the spring/summer and adjusting to life with two kiddos. Summer was about to end, but we weren’t ready to let it end. We decided to do a little road trip the week after Labor Day. A beach destination was key and the timing was great since school generally starts right around Labor Day so it wouldn’t be too busy. Myrtle Beach ended up being our destination of choice and we got a great deal at the Caribbean Resort which is very children friendly. It’s right on the beach, has several different pools, a lazy river and a water slide. We opted to get an ocean view room since we knew we’d have a napping 6-month old.
While Alara loves the beach, she spent a TON of time in the pool. We had recently got her the floaties that goes around the waist and arms. It took her a while to get comfortable with them but once she did, she was a fish in the water. There were several children her age to play with, apparently she joined a preschool floatie club.
There was a whole kiddie pool section Alara thoroughly enjoyed.
Adam loved the pool too!
…but got pooped out pretty quickly!
One benefit of waking up early with kids is that you get to enjoy a pretty sunrise over the ocean.
There were some Myrtle Beach attractions which were closed for the season, like Splashed Waterpark. However, the Family Kingdom Amusement Park (one of the few remaining free-admission parks in the U.S.), N. Ocean Blvd, and Broadway at the Beach were in full effect.
Here is Alara enjoying a soft candy lollipop and hanging out with a dinosaur at Broadway at the Beach.
Alara got a kick out of King Kong from the Hollywood Wax Museum.
We only stayed in Myrtle Beach for a few days, Alara was not ready to leave!
