Sam and I have been feeling like we need a break from reality for quite sometime now so we booked ourselves a 3 night stay in Myrtle Beach for my birthday weekend! It really was more of a happy Valentines, birthday, 10-year-anniversary, and Graduation all rolled into one celebration. It was a nice relaxing (breezy!) weekend away! Wish it was sliiiiightly warmer so we could spend a little more time laying out in the sun, but we tried to make the most of it. Never know how weather will be this time of year! It was still beautiful and fun to be in a coastal, lively city like Myrtle. We did some birthday shopping, lots of eating out and exploring. We also ended up going deep sea fishing one morning because we figured, why not?! I was a little nervous at how it would be but it was surprisingly so fun! Didn't catch much that day for some reason (the crew and other guests thought it was so odd that there was barely a bite all morning) but we still had a good time. Sam did catch one little fish, but it wasn't big enough to keep. Dang! Anyways, I think our favorite part of the whole weekend was just splurging a little on eating out and having time to ourselves to shop and eat meals without any interruption whatsoever! Not necessarily quiet, as Myrtle seems to be a happening place, even in March.. but definitely fun!

Quite chilly this morning!
Dinner night three at a place called Gordon Biersh in town.. I think this was my favorite restaurant all weekend. The food was so so good. This was the most amazing desert:

My birthday today! Happy 30th to me! Not sure how I feel about it! And not sure how I feel about heading back home today. haha:
BIG HUGE thank you to my mom who stayed to watch our kids for all these days!!! She was so awesome to come up and help us out and my kids LOVED having Mema all to themselves for a few days. Love you, Mom!!
