Last weekend, Kevin and I took off for a few days for our little "Babymoon". We ended up heading to Myrtle beach, cause Kevin really wanted to go to a beach somewhere, and there was no way I was going to florida or someplace like that with skinny girls in bikinis running around while I sat there like a beached whale.
It turns out Myrtle beach was a perfect compromise, and we absolutely LOVED it. Neither of us had ever been there, but it was really nice. The weather was great, and the beach was really nice and fairly quiet. After a long walk on the beach our first day there we were both totally fried, since it wasn't too hot and cloudy we didn't use sunscreen, so that kinda ended our hanging out in the sun for the rest of the trip. I'm just now starting to peel, should be fun!
We flew into charleston, South Carolina, and thanks to Jamie found some great spots to visit, and the homes there are amazing and beautiful. I can see why she's so in love with southern homes. They look so inviting. After that we drove down to Myrtle beach and were amazed at all the bikers there, I guess it was bike week or something, all you could hear driving down the road was the roar of the harleys. One lady at the resort said they're like ants, cause they're just everywhere, and boy was she right.
It was so great to get away for a few days and have nothing to do, but I was sorely missing my little girls, and it didn't help when we called home and Halli said she would never let us go on a trip again. I was more worried about how Peyton would do when I left, but it turns out that having Halli be able to tell us exactly how she was feeling, really pulled at my heartstrings. I don't know if I'll be taking a 6 day trip anytime soon without the kiddos. (just don't tell Kevin that, he would be so sad.) Plus Halli is pretty persistant that if we go on a vacation again, we have to take them. But thanks a ton to Grandma & Grandpa for watching them, I know they're a handful and it's probably alot harder when they miss Mom & Dad, but they did a great job taking care of the girls and running them around to various activities. All-in-all, it was a great trip and we definitely want to head back next summer if we can, and we'll be taking the girls, yes all three, next time we go.
The beautiful homes in Charleston, and the only picture we have of the two of us together.
Enjoying the beach, pre-sunburn. It was beautiful there.
Our resort, it was amazing and we LOVED it! 
Our awesome room, Kevin has spoiled me, and now I'll fully expect a five star resort for vacations. No more holiday inn for me!

April you look absolutely beautiful and I love your hair. I wanna do something totally different with mine..
The place looks wonderful. Yeah, Tahoe was nothing like this place. Something about being at the beach....not much can beat it. You and Kevin look great, such a "glow" around you.
First of all...love the haircut! Second, I am now officially homesick for South Carolina!! Isn't is just beautiful there?! I guess I am a little bias. :) The resort does look so nice...we'll have to try it out (that is if I can get Greg to part with Mexico):)
Such cute little love birds! I say the next Monson/Williams trip will be there next time!
Love the pictures!!! They are beautiful!!! I never would have thought that SC would have been so beautiful.
That looks so fun! I want to go there someday. I am glad that you were able to get away before the little baby comes!
Your hair looks great!
How fun that you got to do that. It is good to take a trip before the little one comes even if you did miss the kiddos. I find that five day trip is plenty, enough to get away, but not enough to miss them terribly. We are taking an 8 day trip in december and I am a little nervous about the length. Hopefully by then I will be more than ready.
I am so excited to head out to South Carolina in a few weeks!! Looks like you guys had a ton a fun- can't wait till our babymoon!!
