Fam Vaca Report

Alright, so I promised a report on the vaca we just got back from so here goes...it will be long.

So, 16 of us went to Myrtle Beach, SC. It was my wife, all my brothers and all our close friends "the fam." We make it a yearly tradition to all go away for a vaca together, and this year was no different.
We left on Saturday morning, about 5 am, and drove for only about 6 hours to get there. It was a super easy trip compared to last years 1000 miles trek to Florida.
We checked in and went to the house, and at first we were like, "okay, it's all good." But, as we looked around we noticed the place was pretty dirty, so we called and complained. They sent someone to clean it, but by now everyone is getting ornery because they've been up all night. Needless to say, the first day was not too great and I was worried how the vaca was going to go.
THANK YOULORD! The next day was much better and everyone seemed in good spirits for most of the rest of the trip. You see, the thing is when you've this many people together who have known each other for a long time, crap will happen, you're too much like family for it not too. But, we had a blast.
Sunday night the wife's sister, hubby and the 2 nephews came over from Sumter SC, it was great to see them. Those boys are a riot, love being around them. They drove home and then came back the next day, this is Monday, the day I surfed for the first time. Yep, surfed. It was awesome, actually stood up a coupe of times, and had one that was real sweet.
So, the next day we go go-carting, which was cool. A little slower than I thought it would be, but still fun. We all went to a seafood buffet that night, and then some of us went miniature golfing. Now, that was a fun time. I love the people I was with, just light-hearted, dramaless fun people....they're awesome. Shoot, we got called "yankees" twice in 10 minutes, had some weird gas-station attendant/radio personality do paper and tongue tricks and just had fun.
Wednesday was sad, had to leave as I'm out of Leave, but it was good to leave wanting to stay. That is when you know it was a good vaca, if you want to stay, then it was good. All in all, another great fam vaca, I can't wait for next year. I just hope I can make it with the Army moving us and all. Well, thats about it.

Here's to Nina, Alby, Weet, Peck, Gudo, Jarsh, Jerry, Sisser, Jessemiah, Joyful, Miriam (superstar), Cynthesizer, Abbs, Carlo my Latin Love, and J-Hob....love you all and can't wait until next year!

We're so glad that we were able to make it. The boys were asking to go back to the beach to see you the next am. Hopefully we'll see you all in Sept. We'll be up that way......

who is this anonymous? I hate that. Anyway, it was a great vacation. I'm so glad we got to go even if it was for just a little bit. Good times
