We received complimentary accommodations in Myrtle Beach from Condo-World in exchange for an honest review. As always, all thoughts and opinions are my own! 

Where to Eat Play and Stay at Myrtle Beach

Last weekend we took a quick trip to Myrtle Beach. The weather in Atlanta was rainy and dreary, and I was so happy to be escaping to the sunny beach for a few days! We’ve never taken the kids to Myrtle Beach, so I had no idea where to begin to look for somewhere to stay. Luckily, Condo-World stepped in and helped us to find a great place!

Where to Stay:

Condo-World offers the area’s largest selection of oceanfront Myrtle Beach condo rentals. (Because I always say that if you’re going to the beach, you might as well stay ON the beach!) Condo-World has condos for all budgets and tastes and you can book online or over the phone with ease. (They also have vacation rentals in Gatlinburg, Panama City Beach, Destin, South Walton, Pigeon Forge, Orlando, and Hilton Head!) We stayed at the Bay View Resort, which was close to all of the local attractions and restaurants.

Bay View Resort has beautiful oceanfront suites and 1, 2, 3, and 4 bedroom condos. I mean – just look at this view!!! You can’t beat that!

The Best Myrtle Beach Attraction for Families – The Pirates Voyage Dinner Show

We just got back from a super fun weekend in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. Josh and I had both been to Myrtle years ago, but this was our first time taking the kids. I did a lot of Pinterest research before we left to see what family-friendly attractions were offered near our condo, and the Pirates Voyage Dinner Show kept popping up over and over. The reviews made it seem like a blast and we were so excited to check it out!

(The show is also a Dolly Parton Production, so I knew it would be excellent!)

Easter 2019

By on April 25, 2019

We had such a great Easter this year! The weather was beautiful, no one was sick, we weren’t late to anything, and the Easter Bunny even had time to do a fun scavenger hunt for the kids.

We started celebrating Easter earlier in the week when we dyed Easter eggs with a kit from Target. It came with a powder that you mixed to make editable foam. It actually worked really well and made some beautiful eggs!

A couple of weeks ago, we received a brochure in the mail advertising the Atlanta Botanical Garden’s new “living plant sculptures” exhibit – Imaginary Worlds. I knew the kids would love seeing the larger-than-life storybook characters and animals made out of plants, so we planned a trip to check it out. Graham was especially excited to see the exhibit and grabbed a map when we walked in so he could be our tour guide.

Graham was actually a little scared of the woolly mammoth. I thought he was cute!

I was jealous that Rip Van Winkle was able to take a nap.
