Beating the Winter Blues at the Beach


While the snow, sleet and ice are falling in Charlotte, we are hiding out at the beach :)

Today we took the girls to MagiQuest.  MagiQuest is an interactive attraction where by "using a magic wand that knows you by name and remembers everything you accomplish, you explore a world filled with amazing creatures and characters where you gain skill and knowledge and rise to untold levels of bravery."  In essence, you choose a "quest" which has clues for 4 or 5 items that you have to find throughout the kingdom in order to complete the task.  There are 12 or so quests at the first level.


The girls had a blast and Michael and I had a great time too.  Ramsey completed 9 quests and Bradey completed 6.   


You also have the opportunity to "duel" against someone.  Bradey and Ramsey went against each other (of course).  It was the one time when the parents encouraged you to duel with your sister.  Bradey won the first time and Ramsey won the second time.



Now we're back warm and cozy at the condo.  We're waiting for Papa Johns to deliver dinner and then we're settling down for a movie.  Tomorrow, we hope to take a stroll along the beach and see what shells we can find before heading home, back to reality...and probably snow :)
