Myrtle Beach revisited
Nov 17-18
Along with getting to experiencve many new places Chirstopher is also very interested in seeing places he has been to before. Myrtle Beach is one of these key stops along the way. On March Break 2007 we drove here with Grandma and Grandpa to have a fun holiday. When we arrived we were greated by some of the coldest weather in a long time. Our first time below freezing at night!! Here we rented a car and tore up the town! Of course our main stops were the spots we had been to before. The highlight was the great Aquarium here. Huge sharks swim over your head, you get to touch the rays and crabs and all the other displays are amazing.
This was followed by an icy stroll on the beach, a visit to our old hotel, a filling buffet lunch at one of the many restaurants, and then a rousing game of twilight mini-golf with golf mitts on. That kind of made the visit here complete. We returned the car at 8am the next morning, started the boat’s cold engine and were off again.

After the glitz of Myrtle Beach we found ourselves in a spectacular stretch of river. With deep water the navigation was easy and the shoreline ws draped with moss hanging from the branches of cyprus trees. We expected to see aligators at each turn but none were there. After a pretty long day of travel we dropped our anchor in a little spot called Prince Creek. Sitting here as the sun went down we could hear and watch all kinds of birds. There were no other sounds, and we were the only people around. Once the sun went down a variety of owls started their calls. Quite a cool place of solitude, in the company of wildlife.
