The WAY BACK machine

I know many people think South Carolina ahead of only West Virginia and Mississippi when it comes to living in the past, but this is ridiculous.



Actually, it was a fantastic weekend. We got to Myrtle Beach around 8:30 Friday evening, had a late dinner, and checked into the hotel.

Our room had an Oceanfront view and balcony, so when the sun came up around 7am (or whenever it was) we pulled back the curtains and watched it from bed. There is something special about knowing that we were among the very first people in this country to see the sun rise for the day as it rose up over the Atlantic. At around 7:05 we had enough and turned our attention to other things...

We spent the day at Broadway on the Beach, walking the shops, visiting the Aquarium, and getting the above picture taken. From there we went back to the hotel to go swim and hang in the hot tub. We had a late dinner at a really nice Italian place and then went to Crocodile Rocks to sing along with the dueling pianos for the rest of the evening.

Then this morning we slept late, checked out of the hotel, then walked on the beach until it was time to leave. Overall it was an incredible weekend. So much so that I don't want to go to work tomorrow!

There is no place on Earth ahead of Mississippi in anything, we are the worst and the best at the same time, just so you know.
