So, per my best friend Dave, we all need a break.
What does this mean? Well, this means packing a suitcase full of clothes and personal hygiene things, packing bags of activities for the kids for a car trip, booking a hotel and taking a long car ride. Where are we going? Why, to Myrtle Beach of course! What else does one do in January but go to the beach! Don't we live near about 50 beaches? Well yes, since you mentioned it, we do. But these beaches here, they are well... HERE. We are getting away. We need to reset. So, we have booked a hotel with an indoor pool, an indoor lazy river, life size checkers and chess and lots of space. We have purchased tickets to go see some of Jeffrey's favorite things, RIPLEY'S BELIEVE IT OR NOT! Turns out, there are 5 Ripley's attractions there. The aquarium which sounds AMAZING, the oddities museum, a 5D moving theatre, a mirror maze, and a haunted house. I can NOT do haunted houses, and JJ would lose it in the mirror maze. So, we are doing the Aquarium, the oddities museum, and the theatre. We plan to eat at Cheeseburger in Paradise and explore the area with NO stress. NO thinking about the upcoming move, NO thinking about doctor appointments, or IEPs or ABA therapy. We are just going to enjoy each other's company and let it all de-stress us. Going off the grid until Monday evening or so. All I am hoping for at this moment, is that JJ can handle all the being out in public without any meltdowns.
Sidenote: Really wish Turbo was already certified as an Emotional Support Dog so she could go with us. Oh well, we are getting there and when her training is complete, it will all be worth it!
