Myrtle Beach

Myrtle Beach

We hurried home from our trip to Michigan to pick up our trailer because we had booked a week in Myrtle Beach for Eric's birthday at the end of September.  We parked the trailer, loaded up the bikes and headed for Myrtle Beach.  This was our first visit to Myrtle Beach and we felt at home right away.  It reminded us of Branson next to the beach.  

Myrtle Beach had great bike lanes and biking along their beach sidewalk and boardwalk.  Earlier this summer, we got new (new to us) bikes.  We had been considering buying new bike since ours were so old, mine was 20 years old and Eric's was about 10.  We had test ridden several and had decided on the ones we liked but were having trouble parting with the money.  Eric found the exact bikes we both wanted on Craig's list that were 1 year old and had only been used for a couple of weeks.   Here we are riding along the boardwalk.  

We spent three days exploring Myrtle Beach, then Elissa and Sydney joined us for the last three days.  We relaxed by the pool during the afternoons and then played miniature golf in the evenings.  

Sydney at the pool.

Sydney had a great time golfing. 

The last day we were there, we got up to watch the sun rise over the ocean.

On our way home to Summerville, we stopped at the hammock village were they make the Pawley Island hammocks.  It is a cute village of lots of old lowcountry homes turned into shops.
