After we get back to the room disaster struck at 9pm. They WOULD NOT go to bed. We tried everything. It was after 10:30 b/f they went to bed. They were up and down, crying, just out of their minds. It was the first time they hadn't slept in their cribs and boy did we know it. Noah started crying to go home. That broke my heart. They finally went to sleep Noah with me and Owen with Scott. None of us slept. We were worried they would fall out of the bed and they just were all over the beds kicking us. Man, that sucked. SO we go to breakfast and take them out to the beach. Noah LOSES IT!! He cried for an hour. Owen started enjoying it for a little bit and then he lost it. SO we re all in the room and they won't take a nap and just whine and cry So I said do you want to go home? Uh huh Not what we wanted to hear or do. SO they are ready and start loading up. We weren't physically at the beach for even 24 hours. So we check out and go home and the trip home was Horrible. They sleep for 1-2 hours. Then they cried and fussed the whole way home which took 6 1/2 hours. Just a complete nightmare. We had to pull over lots to go potty and one time I stepped in a hill of fire ants and got bit 3 times. Just pure hell. They were so not themselves. All we got out of the trip was to eat at Hamburger Joe's, 2 sea shells and 2 chairs. We got to downtown Conover and the light must have come on b/c they knew they were near home and a calm came over in the car. I guess we just got some homebodies for now. Yes, we will try again but it sure will be a while!! All we can do is look back and laugh.

Is this a hoot or what??

After we got our bellies full of hotdogs.

We got to the Beach around 3 or so and it rained on and off the whole way down. It was a great ride down. No pee or poo accidents. Just a lot of breaks. As in pulling off the side of the road and letting it loose. We went out to the pool and to the beach for a little while. It was drizzling but they seemed to enjoy it. We go in and get ready to eat and look around. We go to Hamburger Joe's and to Barefoot Landing and have a lot of fun.
