Some highlights from our Myrtle Beach vacation…

1. Sammy playing “pirate golf” (mini-golf with a pirate theme). Every time we passed a mini golf place after that he would say “me try that pirate golf huh?”

2. Isaiah jumping on the Euro Bungy at Barefoot Landing. Pretty cool watching him bounce 15-20 feet in the air.

3. The vast assortment of moon bounces at Broadway on the Beach that the kids played on for hours. Plus the sprinkler area was pretty fun.

4. Hanging out with the Rosicas and becoming mayor of their hotel. Even though Bryan was a little touchy it was fun letting the kids stay up with their kids till almost midnight.

5. Watching fireworks every night of the week from our balcony or right on the beach.

6. Watching Jen teach Isaiah how to use his boogie board in the ocean.

7. Sammy doing k-k balls (cannonballs) in the pool was highly entertaining.

8. Enjoying a late night stoagie on the balcony with Jen.

9. Phinneas and Ferb.

10. Fat Man’s Dream. Dogs & Cream… And other ice cream escapades.

11. Seafood Buffet with a live teen mermaid (who wore glasses).

12. Paying $6 to park at The Gay Dolphin and Bryan trying to get his picture with me by the sign.

13. Rollin in the 94 Corolla during Mustang Week.

14. Midday naps and sleeping in till 10 almost every day.

15. The DJ at the pool playing the same mix 2 days in a row. But it was country and he did play Isaiah’s requests.

It doesn’t get much better than this.

After sitting in all sorts of traffic on I-95 we arrived in Myrtle Beach around 5:30pm yesterday. This is the first time ever that we have taken a full week of vacation as a family. Thanks to my Grandparents for the timeshare at the Sandcastle Resort South! This place is amazing… indoor pool, outdoor pool, lazy river, hot tubs, kiddie pool, beach, oceanview – you name it! As we were putting the kids to bed last night they started doing fireworks right on the beach, so of course the kids stayed up late and we watched from the balcony. This is going to be an awesome vacation!

This will be great when I am killing time in the 5th stall after my morning coffee sets in.

The days of Microsoft Frontpage are ancient history. Even the use of Dreamweaver is limited for me. Most of my time these days is spent developing Joomla websites. So why am I messing around with WordPress for my personal site? The answer, I don’t know. Perhaps because my friend Dan Simrak decided to move to WordPress for his site, or because I can edit it more easily from my iPhone using the WordPress app. Maybe I am just bored and want to learn something new. Either way, this is an experiment and it’s going to be fun. WordPress 3.0 here I come!
