Well first for those who don't know let me give the explanation of importance to this trip.
My parents started visiting Myrtle Beach, SC for golf/vacations before I was born and then for the majority of my life (before marriage) my immediate family and uncle/aunt & 3 cousins have been going to Myrtle beach every summer for vacation.
My family would get a condo and then my cousins family would do the condo directly above us, for 1 to 2 weeks every July. Kenn has gone twice with us (once before marriage and once after) and with us being out of the house, and James not wanting to go on vacation my parents just started to go other places during the summer.
For the last 2 summers we have taken Brandon to Ocean City to visit with Kenn's aunts/uncle/cousins and we have all enjoyed it so much i just thought "wow i wish my parents could see this" so last July 08 we decided that's what we would do for this year.
So although 2 of my cousins & my brother were not able to go, the rest of the family resumed to the condos again. (although this year we broke tradition and stayed in a different condo 2 buildings over where we could get a 3bedroom one.
While i was packing up at home i came into the room and Brandon had crawled into his clothing hamper...
We left 7am on Sat morning, had 1/2hr stop for lunch/gas and made it there around 3pm, so we did great on time!
Every morning we would get up, have breakfast...
and go to the beach and pool. Then we would come back, have lunch then take naps/read 
(this is the one day kenn took a nap with brandon)
And then go out to dinner and an evening activity...
Brandon LOVED to push the elevator button (we were on the 4th floor)
Brandon go to play his first mini golf game!
GrandRuss & B. (my father is an great golfer, he and my uncle played almost every day)
Daddy teaching b. (kenn and my mom even got to go play golf on their own one morning)
Brandon went through 3 clubs, the plastic, then the reg childs club then my club....
This one he was actually able to roll the ball in the hole!
My mother, Kenn and B and I went to Alligator Adventure one day, which is like a small zoo for alligators/crocodiles and some exotic reptiles. At first brandon was so/so interested. (his new saying is "No Thanks") so he'd walk up, look for a second and say "No Thanks" and walk away. Then after we were finished we got him a bottle of water while were walking out of the place and all of a sudden he was all ready to go back and do it again. (there must have been something in that water) so with a pleasant B we walked around again.
Going into the place...
(this is the view over the fence that brandon was looking through)
B and some baby alligators
This is the first time around so he's giving the look that says "i hate you for making me stand here while you take pictures of me"
The Albino Alligator, taken by Kenn. We purchased a stuffed alligator which Brandon holds at night when watching TV and a plastic squeaking albino one that b now makes "bite" my hand while he's in the bathtub, which i squeal at and he giggles uncontrollably. its pretty darn cute.
The last night we were there Kenn, B and I went to dinner at the Hard Rock Cafe (which I went to the first week it opened back in 1995!)
He liked the guitars on the walls and the music videos playing on TV. He spent most of his time walking around with Kenn looking at everything.
we stop in the gift shop and as we are leaving B starts to cry and so we both look down puzzled and ask "Do you want something?"... (Now B is the complete opposite of me he has zero interest in gift shops and he NEVER wants anything)

DRUMSTICKS!(we didn't even notice them there) so after an $18.00 purchase of sticks we had the happiest b we prob had all week!
Daddy, B and drumsticks outside of HardRock.
"I loooooooooove DRUMSTICKS"- Brandon Chisholm
2hrs later, still hugging them inside of the car on the way home. The first thing he did when we got home to MD was run upstairs and start playing his drum. We are def. getting a full drumkit for him for Christmas this year.
Ok NEXT post will have all the beach and pool pictures :)
