ok so the beach was awesome. i did stuff with my mother for the first time in a while, and it was all stuff that we couldnt do here. it was all SO much fun. we went for a week, to Myrtle Beach, and we went with our extended family lol my 'sister' and my nephew and neice =) we got a full condo from rachels co-worker for $300, it was really nice. we only went to the BEACH like 3 times but i went parasailing the one day. me and my mom did it together and it was GREAT. i had done it before when i went with Katies family, but it was just as cool this time. i saw a sea turtle =) then the last day we went to the beach i saw a shark jump out of the water and go back in...then i got stung by a DAMN jellyfish on my leg...which freaked me the hell out. hurt like a mother too...but it was ok. me and my mom went to an impersonators show. that was so cool cuz it was really good. we saw bette midler, tina turner, tom jones, rod stewart, david bowie, and Elvis wannabees lol and i got pics with 4 of them. then me, my mom, and rachel went to this comedy show one night. that was the best thing I think we did there. it was SO funny. we saw 4 comedians...and the headliner was Dave Tucker. it really was the funniest thing ever, and rachel got WASTED cuz it was the first night without her kids in like forever...so yeah. then after we went to the bar and hung out with the comedians after the show. one night we went to this amusment park right in the middle of myrtle beach called the pavillion. we got in for like $10 each ((rachels moms company owns it)) and we got all the rides unlimited. i rode like all of them with rachel and her step-dad. i love roller coasters alot so this was alot of fun for me...and it was the first time to an amusment park since like a year. one day we went to all 4 of the 'ripleys believe or not' attractions there. they had an aquarium which was AWESOME. you go in like this mile long tunnel that has glass ALL around you with fish and sharks in it, and you just stand on like this moving sidewalk through the tunnel. my nephew had a freaking heartattack because finding nemo is the only movie he will watch and they had this whole tank with dorys, and nemos, and that yellow fish swimming all around. then they had this museum with a bunch of really odd and random stuff in it. then there was a 4D movies which the chairs moved, and they were 3D, and you could feel the stuff around you...yeah this was kindda cheesy but still it was HOT outside so it felt good to be inside. THEN omg...there was a haunted mansion thing. me, rachel, and my parents went in there. me and rachel almost didnt make it out lol. i thought it was gonna be real cheesy but um NO i was scared deep down inside. it was like 99% in pitch black dark, and you have to 'make it through the house in 10 min or you die'...and rachel almost had to be carried out lol i was choking my dad cuz i was holding on to his shirt with my whole life lol. then a guy with a chainsaw just like came out and started chasing us...and i almost pissed myself i was so scared lol. good times lol it was still fun we also went to dinner like everynight lol so that was cool. lots of different food. and we went to alot of cool restaurants. this one restaurant had like the walls covered in random license plates and you can write or carve stuff anywhere you like in the restaurant. it was really fun. alright well im sure i did more, but i just cant remember. ill post an entry with pics soon...but they are all on our laptop. <3
