Vacation: "a period of time devoted to pleasure, rest, or relaxation..." Honestly, the word vacation doesn't have a whole lot of meaning to me these days. Being a Mom (and nursing student now) is a 24/7 job and pleasure, rest or relaxation in the literal sense doesn't happen a whole lot these days...and that's okay. Rest and relaxtion comes after 8pm and lasts 10 hours, usually with me sleeping 8 of those, on the occasional date night or even when I only have to take care of one or two kids on an errand! Haha. The week spent at Myrtle definitely had a lot of pleasure, however. It's always a pleasure to be with my whole family, but it was especially nice to see the kids spending some quality time with Scott, grandparents, cousin and great-grandmother! I loved seeing them enjoy the sand, beach, pool, putt-putt, naps with each other (Sienna and Hudson shared a room with two-twin beds! Turned out to be a great experience for them!!), the aquarium, being well-behaved at dinners out, staying up late to enjoy ice-cream or sherbert, and the list goes on and on. We did have a great week in Myrtle - we enjoyed great weather and my parents were oh so generous, as usual. All in all, a FUN week with a little side of rest and relaxation. :)
