We moved to the SC upstate in '96. It took us until 2007 to visit Myrtle Beach, or, as it's known here..."the beach." That was kind of a milestone considering "the beach" to us was in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
I'm kind of liking this whole "goin' to the beach" thing. We just took a quick 3-day getaway last week and it was a lot of fun. We did stay a bit more in the North Myrtle Beach and Cherry Grove Beach area but still spent time in Myrtle Beach proper.
Typical tourists, we took in a show, ate at a local ice-cream shop, played miniature golf and had breakfast at a biscuit shack and a pancake house. We even shopped at the neon-rich souvenir stores. We did, however, refrain from bringing home a hermit crab (much to Christopher's disappointment). Abbey brought home shells and Ken and Christopher "got freaked out" at Ripley's Believe It Or Not Odditorium. I'm pleased to say we did avoid sunburn. That's one thing that can ruin a vacation in a hurry.
We get a longer beach break in August when we head to Florida. No, not Fort Lauderdale, but a bit north of there in Jensen Beach. That's the vacation I look forward to all year!
While summer is still officially a few days away, we got an early start. Here's hoping this summer will be warm and breezy and sunburn-free!
