  Thanks, I see some cool options there. I’ll check it out some more. Only other problem is myrtle beach is about the extent of driving south with 2 kids. Its a little over 10 hours. Flying may work, but it does cost more.

    Sometimes flying is honestly cheaper, but with a family it does mean you can’t bring as much stuff, which can end up costing more. Myrtle Beach is where my family went when I was a kid and it made me think I just hated the beach.

      Total gas cost for round trip was 2 fills each way, so just under $200. There’s also tolls that are pretty expensive these days, but I would say they still bring the total under $300 for 4 people to travel. Of course, I should double this cost since im going twice as far if I do decide to take the plunge.

      Just curious what was so bad that you hated the beach? When I grew up the only place my parents took me was Williamsburg VA like 6 years in a row. It got old but looking back i appreciate it. I also hate the beach, I never really enjoyed it and would rather do just about anything else, but the wife loves it, and the kids seem to as well, so I hold my breath, lol. It also seems like the easiest solution for smaller kids.

        My main memories are just that everything was super crowded. The kids there were super aggressive types and there was a large amount of over drinking with the adults. Maybe it has changed, but I am more of a relax at the beach sorta person, not the 10,000 things at once type.
