Myrtle Beach

It has been two weeks since we last updated the blog but we have pretty much been relaxing in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. We have spent this time staying at the homes of Josh and Jessica Tew and Kyle and Michelle Fullwood.

We spent a lot of our time with the Tews relaxing, doing schoolwork, and eating ice cream at our new favorite ice cream store, Coldstones!

The weekend after we arrived it was Alex Tew’s 8th birthday party. It was heaps of fun. We went to the movies to see Kung-Fu Panda. It was really good. Alex even got the grand birthday introduction and got to start the movie!!! That night we also went out for dinner to East of Chicago for pizza and that was cool.

The night before we left the Tews we went out again for dinner and went to Coldstones for the last time.

The next day it was a sad good bye to the Tews and time for us to leave for Kyle and Michelle’s place.

We had a fun time hanging out with the Fullwood’s. One of the nights we went out to Miyabi’s Japanese restaurant for dinner and as usual that was really cool!

One night I (Sarah) went fishing and that was cool. I caught three fish and I used one of those plastic fish as bait not the food bait. It was sooooooooooo fun!!!

During our time in Myrtle Beach Chris and Josiah got to spend some time with the Hancock’s. River Hancock is Josiah’s age and they race in the same motocross classes. River’s dad, Ronnie, invited them to his place where they have a choice motocross track and swimming pool. Josiah was sad to leave their place.

We left the Fullwood’s for Greensboro, North Carolina. Mum and Dad had a surprise for us kids and took us to Wet n Wild (http://www.emeraldpointe.com/).
From Sarah.

We then headed up to Birch Creek MX, Virginia, to another regional for Josiah to try and qualify for the 7-11 yrs 65 modified class. On a stock bike it became too hard for Josiah to qualify, particularly as the modified bikes were able to get to the first corner faster.

We headed off on Sunday afternoon and stayed the night in a truck stop for the first time. It wasn't too noisy with earplugs on but Chris didn't get much sleep as trucks came and went all night! We then continued on Monday morning and arrived at Nashville Tennessee.
