NORTH MYRTLE BEACH, SC

I'm back from a week at Myrtle Beach, SC.

This picture is a view of the beach from our 12th floor condo. The condo was courtesy of hubby's cousin and husband.

They and his sister and husband spent the week with us.

The weather was good. Temps in high 70's and low 80's, ocean water temp was in high 60's.

We took a side trip to Charleston one day. I took many pictures and will post some of them soon.

We had been in Myrtle Beach years ago. It was very busy then, now even more so.

North Myrtle Beach back then was much quieter, but now is quite busy.

It was very restful watching and listening to the roaring surf from our balcony.

We did a lot of eating. Seafood buffets are very popular there. Practically one on every corner.

The architecture of the houses and buildings, along with the gardens in Charleston are magnificent.

We took a guided bus tour and a horse and buggy ride through the city and learned much of the history.

On the way back from Charleston to North Myrtle Beach we took a ride around the grounds of the Citadel and Patriot's Point where the Yorktown Aircraft carrier is docked. Much more on these later.

Now it's time to catch up on unpacking, reading mail, cutting grass, etc.

I sometimes wonder if it's worth going on vacation. Before you go there is much to do, when you come back there is much to do.

I think I need a vacation to rest up from my vacation. Whew!
