I came back home last Thursday from my trip to NC. I had a wonderful time.

By the way my suitcase arrived finally in Myrtle Beach on Saturday. In the meantime Paul had given me money to buy the makeup I needed. I am a Shoppers Drug Store/Wal-Mart kind of a person but they wanted me to go to Belks (compare that to The Bay). Jennifer insisted I should try Clinique and I will never want to use anything else. I have to admit it is great stuff!
The Hotel/Condo in Mirtle beach was fantastic. The condo was between 2500 to 3000 sq feet. (On the 17th floor, there are 27!)
That meant we all had our own large bedroom (4) and our bathroom. Mine was actually an of-suite with a balcony.The place was huge, I am spoiled for the rest of my life. Who wants to go to anything less? There were several pools and a water park and then of course the ocean. Our condo was an ocean front unit with a large balcony, where we could sit in the evening, without mosquito's I might add!! There were fire works and lots of activities on the pier. Sammie and I decided we would take a walk on the pier the next day.Even at 9am we were sorry we did since it was already too hot.

We did some "serious" shopping because Paul had given both Jennifer and me and even Sammie, money to spent two days in a row. He had saved up for that. He kept checking on us how much we had spent. How much fun is that? I did not bring a camera but Jennifer took some pictures and I am waiting for her to fire them over to me and then I shall post some. Next trip I will take my own camera, because the girls Sammie and Eliana are so adorable. There were so many times that I wished I could have captured the moments.

The time went too fast for us all. I was able to spent a few more days at their house and then it was time for me to go back home to Winnipeg where Ted was anxiously waiting.
Today I am going to the office but tomorrow I will be going to Ottawa to see Yvonne, Jason and the girls. I am also very much looking forward to that as you can imagine, they have been gone for more than a month.
