Voldemort's a Crab

I loooooove breaks from school! Granted, I have tons of homework over the break, but we aren't talking about that right now. After two days that felt like an eternity, I finally got done with class yesterday and my break officially started. Then it was off to Myrtle Beach. Best plan. After six hours in the car last night I was starting to wonder whether or not this was a good idea....it was worth it though. This place is the best. I made Imari come with us because I couldn't let her stay in BV alone over Thanksgiving. That was also a great plan. We are staying in a super nice hotel on the beach complete with 3 swimming pools, waterslide, basketball court, fitness center, spa, a zillion conference and ballrooms, THE comfiest mattresses in the world, and......HAMMOCKS!!! We are in heaven. This morning we slept in and then worked out in the super high tech fitness center. Then we tried out the hammocks for a minute before going for a stroll on the beach. Myrtle Beach is 60 miles of beach. Sooo great! I love the feeling of sand in between my toes. We could have walked all 60 miles of beach, but we turned around when we got to huge flock of birds who wouldn't fly away when we got close (Imari has a legit fear of birds). Then we showered, got ready, and did homework for a minute. The rest of the day was spent eating and exploring the boardwalk along the beach. So much fun! The weather was almost perfect (it was a little windy at times) and the whole place just looks like it came straight out of a Nicholas Sparks book (which it kind of did). Also, we bought a hermit crab. They have them all over the place and we just couldn't resist. We aren't technically allowed to have pets in our house, but we didn't think he really counted. His name is Voldemort. We love him. Also, he is a little creeper and I am a little terrified of him. But I still love him. So yep, that's mostly my story today. I'm a happy kid.
