Hey everyone! I'm back from SC, South Carolina! It was a fun, crazy, and slightly dangerous trip!

First of all, we were supposed to go as a family, but my brother bailed at the last minute. My parents WILL NOT let him stay home alone for a week EVER AGAIN! So, my mom had to stay behind. Anyway, it's about a 6 hour drive. We to our beach house at about 2:00 in the morning. Well, I immediatly know something's wrong b/c my dad was cursing under his breath. It turns out that we got the wrong key. Ouch! I'm pretty cool about it but my dad is furious! He drives all the way to this hotel were he gets a room for a pricey $120.

Well, everything turned out okay, b/c our neighbors had a spare key. Well, moving on, we went to hang out the beach for a while. Later that night, we went to the big pier. There were jellyfish everywhere! But then we saw the sharks. They were HUGE, really close to the shore. I think there were 8 in total. This guy threw a fish in the water and the sharks went crazy! The started tearing at each other in stuff. Well, time to go swimming!

Next, my sister and I were body boarding, when my sister screams and rides out of the ocean. I look at my dad and he's giving me the "come here NOW" look. Confused, I turn around and I see this THING in the water. It's cutting through really fast and all I can see is a fin sticking up...
So, naturally, I got out of the water. Then we built a super strong sand castle with a mote. It was so pretty b/c we drizzle the sand and gave it an old volcano sort of look. It was so strong that the mote was still there the next day! WOHOO!

On to tomarrow! I was swimming when my sister screams, "AH! Stingray!" *insert dance of fear* Now I know they're supposed to be harmless but after Steve Irwin, I'm not taking any chances!

Then it was my birthday! YAY! (ha, 14 now Maloni!) We saw Prince Caspian, which was really good! Then we went to the Hard Rock Cafe, which is like this restruant with a rock and Egyptian theme. It had alot of cool guitars from famous bands and you got to watch music videos while you ate. Then, we went and played mini golf, which is like golf, except minier!

Oh yeah! And we got a free pizza at Taco Bell!

Yeah, it was alot of fun.
