Vacation: Days 1 & 2

We left Saturday morning and arrived at Myrtle Beach around 4 PM. We checked into our hotel, and got unpacked and changed. Then William stepped foot on the beach for the first time in his life. His orphanage in Ukraine was probably no more than 10 minutes from the shore, but he told us he'd never seen the ocean before. He was quite impressed (and a little apprehensive!). Then we grabbed some dinner and made it an early night, as we were all tired from the long day in the car!

Sunday - Zack's first Father's Day! As soon as William woke up he gave Zack & big hug and then presented him with a gift that he had picked out himself: a DAD t-shirt & a pair of shorts... and a talking Transformers card (Zack's convinced it will soon end up in William's room!).

We were up early and on the beach. We played for several hours there and at the pool. We went for an early dinner at a close-by seafood buffet. A little tidbit here - we noticed our waitress had a European-sounding accent and found out she was from Russia. So we had some fun trying to remember a few Russian words to converse. It's amazing how little William still knows!

While we were eating the floods came. So we went back to the hotel & waited out the rain. Then we headed to Broadway at the Beach and did some shopping & looking around. William had his first taste of salt water taffy & fudge. Yum!
