vacation AKA babysitting

Tweet

I'm really looking forward to this coming week. My husband and I are going to Myrtle Beach, SC to celebrate our wedding anniversary (we've been married all our lives.) or maybe it just seems like it. Anyway, while we're there he'll get to drive a NASCAR race car at the Myrtle Beach Speedway. He won't be in an actual race, but he'll drive several laps. He's so excited...he used to drive a race car at a local track years ago. Our daughter and I will be there to cheer him on and take videos and photos. After that, he'll head back home and I'll go to our daughter's house to keep the nine year old grandson while she and her husband go to Las Vegas to celebrate their anniversary. I can drive around Mt. Pleasant where they live, but heaven help me if I accidentally go across the Ravenel bridge into Charleston. Being such an old city, Charleston is full of very narrow one-way streets. Even my husband doesn't like to drive there and he'll drive most anywhere. So, I'll find plenty to do. I'll take a couple of books, my cell phone of course, and maybe walk around the neighborhood. I told my grandson we'd hit up Walmart and McDonald's a time or two. I really have to look out for the alligators while I'm there. I'm not kidding. They've been known to leave the little ponds all around there and wander into yards. As soon as the day starts getting a little darker, we're gonna be in the house until he has to go to school the next morning!
