Well, we made it!!! We had a great trip down. Ben is such a great little traveler. It rained the whole way down due to Fay but we survived. When we got here it was actually nice and sunny but really windy. It has been very very windy the whole time. Fay really didn't end up being too bad other than the wind (and when I say wind I mean wind - it is constantly blowing 15-25 mph with gusts up to 35 mph). Today it was rainy most of the day but not too bad. We made it down to the beach once but due to the wind we can't enjoy it very much. We are still having lots of fun...
This is what a tropical storm looks like blowing in. It was really interesting to watch because the clouds are really swirling. We sat out on the balcony and watched the storm. 
Due to the rain and wind, we have been doing a lot of relaxing. It has been wonderful!!! We have played lots of Wii, read lots of books and watched lots of movies. Ben is loving all the relaxing (and so are we!!)
We found a great playground yesterday and had lots of fun playing!
Today we went shopping at the outlet mall since it was raining. We got lots of good deals. We ate lunch at Lambert's (Home of the Throwed Rolls). Ben loved all the excitement and ate his weight in fried okra.
I think we have a future Michael Phelps on our hands!!! Ben has always been afraid of the water but not this trip. He is loving the pool. He wants to swim, swim, swim. We think he has great potential.
Our swimmer!
Ben has no fear! He has started jumping off the side of the pool like a big boy!
My guys at the beach. Aren't they so cute!
Ben does not know what to think of the ocean at all. He is not a big fan of the beach. And right now I don't blame him. With the wind, the sand is blowing very hard! But he did check out the ocean. 
The ocean right after Fay came through - it was a double red flag day so the surf was really up. 
This is the trip so far. More to come later....
