Myrtle Beach, Day 2: The Beach

Monday and Tuesday were going to be the warmest days of our trip to Myrtle Beach, so we planned on spending those days on the beach. The high was 74 degrees for Monday, and 76 degrees for Tuesday. There was actually a frost warning for Wednesday and Thursday nights, so I am glad we spent those first two days on the beach!

We woke up to the sound of crashing waves and a gorgeous view from the hotel balcony.

The boys were so excited to hit the water that they woke us up with their swimsuits on. Nolan needed some help with his "sand flappers" (sandals). Matt had his boogie board on the balcony, watching the waves.

The boys beat us to the elevator. Going to the beach was the pinnacle of excitement for these two!

Once we made it to the beach, the boys tried out their boogie boards. Nolan was absolutely fearless in the ocean, and Matt actually caught a wave or two!

Nolan loved wading into the water and jumping over the waves. He would get fatigued, but a beach is a nice, warm place to warm up in between adventures!

Matt ran into the ocean to fill his pail: water is a very necessary component for sandcastle moats!

After playing in the sand, we headed back to the condo for lunch. Having a condo was absolutely fantastic - on the warm days, we simply had to pop up to our room for a quick (and sand-free) lunch. It was wonderful.
