This past weekend, we took all the kids and grandkids to the beach for a long weekend. Actually, I guess the long part was the travel. With 5 kids and 5 grandkids (4 under 9 months old), we spent a lot of hours traveling to the beach. Normally a 5 hour drive for most of us, we loaded up enough diapers for a small army and made the trek in 6 different cars (1 addition car made a partial trip).
I calculate we put almost 3000 miles on SC (and some NC) highways on our mission. We had good weather Saturday morning and the girls got in some shopping while the guys kept the kids. Sunday morning was golf for the guys (minus me - not a golfer). While this was intended to be a low cost weekend (and it was relatively low cost), the total impact to SC economy was probably around $2500.
All in all, a great weekend. It's amazing how much noise can be generated by 4 crying babies. It's also wonderful.
P.S. The pic above is a testament to how hard I work at being lazy...

Randy, you look tense! You really need a vacation.
It was a good time. It's fun to be with everyone. Thank you for the weekend!
Neil, I was thinking that after the time with all the babies, I might need a vacation. But it worked out great!
Ashley, I had a good time too. I'm glad it worked out we could all be there.
Randy - Check out more vacation pics on my blog....
Edge - I checked out your vacation pictures and saw a few things that I missed on my trip, the lazy river, the hot tub...
Guess I need to go back..
Vacations are NEVER long enough, especially with family and friends.
