Saturday Shenanigans

Well I simply could not sleep a wink last night, so I kept waking the Bunny 

up asking if we could go to the beach to see the sun rise over the ocean.

So this is a picture of my Grumpy Butt Bunny cause I poked him awake

to drive me to the beach.

Grumpy Bunny

We drove down to Huntington Beach State Park because it is 

simply one of my favorite places to go.

One that I've never shared with anyone else, FYI, my very own special

beach place. I've gone camping down here several times,

but always alone.

Funky Tree

Found an alligator!

And a heron!

The colors are simply amazing over the marshland.

I would make this my home if I could, sun allergy be damned!

Well after a long walk on the beach and around the campground,

I got very sleepy, so the Bunny took me back to the condo

and headed out for some shelling.

When he got back from the beach, he napped while I

watched Disney shows.

Then after his nap, we went out to

SOHO

for dinner!

Now I love me some sushi, but the Bunny doesn't eat it.

After driving back to the condo, we chilled for awhile,

then decided to do a full moon walk on the beach!

For about an hour, Bunny let me just sit and soak up the energy of the

Full Moon and the waves crashing on the beach. 

Then he decided it was best if we go back to the condo and get some sleep.

Festive Friday

Okay, so for those of you in the know skip this intro:

Yes I love coming to the beach, but the reason you don't see many

WitchBaby on the beach pics is that I have a SEVERE sun allergy.

Simply walking outdoors for any length of time causes severe burns,

some of that is due to my body not processing Vitamin D correctly and the rest

is because of meds that I'm taking specifically for the deficiency.

So while we go to the beach ALOT,

and you hear about Bunny's beach ventures ALOT,

I'm not really able to do those types of trips

especially in the summer because hello it's fucking hot out there.

In the winter it's better, because I can wear long sleeves and long pants.

So while Bunny took off to the beach for some therapy of his own,

I pulled out the art supplies I brought and proceeded to have

12 thousand kinds of fun in my art journals.

Yes plural - I painted in my Woman's Retreat journal,

and my every day journal,

and a new dylusion journal,

and 2 other journals.

 (mostly backgrounds for next year cause I don't wanna buy a planner - I'm making my own)

More on that later!!!!!!!!!!!!

So after a very most perfectly pleasant day of getting painty!

I stopped for awhile and got

all dolled up for dinner out!

Birthday DINNER at RIOZ!

If you haven't been to Rioz what the hell are you waiting for!

This place is abso AMAZING!

It's been one of my top 5 restaurants since we "discovered" it

several years ago, it's just too far to drive for a normal date night!

Surprise Birthday Trip!!!

Well I took the week of my birthday off work because well to be honest I don't wanna EVEN think work on my birthday. I had totally planned to stay home and just piddle around, maybe do some art, maybe bug my mom into shopping. 

Then out of no where a trip to the beach became possible. Well since the beach is Bunny's happy place we didn't take long to say HELL YEAH!

So Thursday morning we loaded up the car and headed to the beach for a long weekend. 

NightShade controlling the tunes!

I napped most of the way down to the beach because riding makes me 

sleepy - it has ever since I was a little baby. 

(if I'm driving no big deal, but in the passenger seat FORGET IT)

So the drive down was very uneventful - Bunny doing what Bunny does best.

So we get to the Condo and were blown away!

It's like we hit GOLD in them there beaches!

I can't believe we get to stay in this lovely little apartment for the weekend!

So the next stop on my list of things to do today, was drive to 

ROCKY MOUNTAIN CHOCOLATE FACTORY!

If you have not tried their candies yet - you simply have to give them a try. 

They are amazing!!!!

Next up on our list of places to visit:

Scrapbooks by the Sea

If you are in the area and an papercraft fan of any type, you really really really 

should check this store out.

Sorry no pictures from here - I was a little overwhelmed by the selection

this wonderful little shop has.

And was extremely busy picking up bits and pieces of art supplies to bring home.

Hopefully I'll get a haul pic up soon, but if not oops. 

Thursday Night Dinner was a Bunny Pick:

Bumstead's Pub

See back in June (when Bunny's birthday is) we went to Washington DC with the fam

and then had a hot dog dinner on his Birthday, but WE never

celebrated it, cause he is a meanie head and won't let me pay for DINNER eber!

Well tonight I turned the tables on him - 

forced him to pick a place and then fought him for the check

cause even though this is my birthday trip, he is wif me and I lurves him so.

Bumstead's has some wonderful food and truly epic staff

just don't been thrown by SMOKING in the building

(evidently it's not illegal in South Carolina)

This sign cause much giggles.

Very yummy drink!

Pirate's Voyage

The only thing little man wanted to do was go to Pirates Voyage for his birthday dinner.

So since it was a really big treat, I decided to get both of the boys made up as PIRATES!

We were rooting for the Sapphire Crew - and OMG there are some amazing acrobats in this show.

You totally need to go see the show if you haven't!

We were sitting all the way at the top of the auditorium. 

Waving flags & swords to support the crew!

Myrtle Beach State Park

We are definitely going to be coming back to this beach - so relaxing.

Myrtle Beach Fun Day

Okay, so we got off work this morning and then jumped in the car. Gonna spend the weekend at the beach for the Nephew's birthday. His family been on vacation this whole week but they are wrapping up the weekend at Myrtle Beach, close enough for us make it for the final portion of his trip.

Saw some wondermous sights on the way down - enjoying a beautiful drive with an excellent playlist and my favorite Bunny.

When we first got down to Myrtle Beach, we headed to Broadway at the Beach to do some fun stuff.

First up, Soar & Explore - Bunny Style.

In Line and Waiting for his turn.

While he was in line, they told him he had to empty his pockets, so I got all his pocket stuff (including his wallet) - this picture was after I told him I was going shopping, since I had all the money. LOL.

Going up

And flying across!

Having fun!

Then it was time for lunch - we decided to try something new and OMG I am so glad that we did. This place has the most amazing burgers EBER! You gotta try this place. Oh yeah, if you are into beer there is a microbrewery on site.

While we were sitting down to lunch, we discovered that since our last trip down here, a Hollywood Wax museum & Outbreak has been added to the adventure filled area! So we changed up our plans and headed here instead. Overall this is a wonderful place to visit (but the haunted house was a bit of a let down) Ticket Price for all 3 areas is $25 and you could totally spend 3-4 hours here.
