Spring Break 2009

It was a cool spring break week for Georgia and South Carolina. We spent the better part of the week in Myrtle Beach, SC. It's the first time we've ever been there as a family and it was WAY fun. :) We rented a 3 BR, 2 BA condo with a full ocean front view right on the beach. That is THE way to go, I promise you. The water was very cold but we still waded in. The Caribbean Resort had nice heated pools--including an indoor lazy river and 2 hot tubs--and it was excellent. We would go back there in a heartbeat. We spent a good deal of our time at a place called Broadway at the Beach. It's like an outdoor mall/entertainment complex. We got this deal called a 'ticket to play' and got to do a good assortment of things like a 3D IMAX movie, the Ripley's Aquarium, Dragon's Lair MiniGolf, 5 rides in the Pavilion fair area and Brynna and my favorite thing of all-MagiQuest.

MagiQuest is this awesome thing that is beyond lasertag and into a puzzle-solving addiction that makes you want to go back again and again. Yes, Brynna, Greg, and I returned for a second hour. Brynna became a Magi and Greg and I nearly finished the first 11 quests (Brynna IS the family genius, after all). You get the wands that have a computer memory chip and you keep them forever--which you have to admit is COOL. I don't even know when we'll go back and already, I am dying to finish my last 2 quests and become a Magi like my daughter. She can now do adventures instead of quests and I am envious of her. Sheesh. IT IS ADDICTIVE. And the sad thing is, the closest one is in Myrtle Beach. Wah! I have to bo back. Seriously, if you have one near you, GO! You will not regret it. The first time may be a long learning curve but after that, you realize you MUST finish it and go on....
