Myrtle Beach and Asheville, NC


During Ben's spring break from school, we took a trip down to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina for Ben's very first visit to Grandma and Grandpa Ingle's house!  Karen, Chris and Alyssa planned their trip for the same time and it was great all being together for the first time since Ben was not quite 2 years old.

Due to flights to Myrtle Beach being outrageous (SPRING BREAK), we opted to save a few bucks and take the red eye.  Never again.  Ben is a pro traveler though, so the only issue was lack of sleep for Greg and I :)  Ben remained happy and unaffected!

During the first part of our stay, Greg, his dad, Karen and Chris played a few rounds of golf, we visited the Ripley's Aquarium (so fun!), played several rounds of 31, and ate some great food!


On Wednesday, Greg, Karen, Chris and I drove up to Asheville, NC to spend a day and a night brewery hopping!  Asheville is an adorable college town with 27 craft breweries and some amazing restaurants.  It was SO much fun!  We also had the best weather we had all week up to that point, so it was awesome.








We ended our day with a late dinner at Buxton Hall Barbecue, and the meal was epic.  We each ordered something different and shared - but I ordered the best in my opinion: Crispy Catfish Sandwich and Collard Greens.





The next morning, Greg and I somehow managed to wake up early and refreshed and ready for breakfast!  We walked through town and grabbed some food at a cute cafe before making the drive back to SC.

















Meanwhile, back in SC, Ben enjoyed a day with Grandma and Grandpa!  They were BUSY!  They went to Wonderworks, Dave & Busters and Ben surprised us all by partaking in the activity pictured below: Going out in a plastic bubble on the water! He really enjoyed his one on one time with his grandparents :)
