Sleepy Cypress Trees and the Silvery Ocean: Myrtle Beach State Park
When we pulled into Myrtle Beach State Park, Wesley was fast asleep. His twin brothers, however, were not. So we found a parking spot between the playground and the beach so Wes could rest and the boys could play. Max informed me that I was going to be “the bad pirate” and that he and Theo were going to be “the good pirates.” Then he informed me that I had to go over to the kiddy playset because that was my pirate ship and they were both about to raid it. Things were not looking good for dad. Much to my relief, the boys soon become... Read More

Alligators, Architecture, and the Atlantic Ocean: Huntington Beach State Park
I’m going to go ahead and admit something. I have never once in my life seen an alligator in the wild. I’m a little confused by this myself.

When we pulled into the Myrtle Beach KOA and saw families lounging by the pool and kids romping through the spray ground my son Max asked, “can we always come back here?” Both of the boys were still buckled up in their car seats but they knew that this campground was going to be special–and they were so right. We had just pulled in, but it was quickly becoming apparent that we had discovered one of our new favorite places on planet earth. We had also finally put the long, cold New Jersey winter somewhere far, far behind... Read MoreSeason Opener: Myrtle Beach, South Carolina
It’s pretty bad around here, folks. Our boys are so desperate for the road that they are building ‘campgrounds’ out of their Megablocks and Spinaroos. Jeremy took the camper down to the dealership for a bit of a freshening up this weekend, and something about the act of hitching up and pulling out gets Max and Theo all amped up for our first spring trip. Lucky for them (and us!) we are just weeks away from our season opener. We have always headed south in the spring, but never quite far enough to really shake off the chill... Read More
