We then packed up and headed for Myrtle Beach. This was a relatively short travel day so we decided to take a peek at Charleston along the way. I quickly made up bingo cards for the boys so that helped again to get us around their sightseeing objections:)
Charleston is a beautiful city, we especially loved seeing the old buildings. We walked along the waterfront as well as through some of the residential streets.. very charming, for sure!
The first picture is the boys in front of what we called the Pineapple Fountain:). The second picture is of a seating area in one of the city parks... I particularly liked the beauty and serenity of that area.
We hopped back in the truck and continued our journey to Myrtle Beach... which was another 2 or so hours. Myrtle Beach is a very interesting area. It's all about the beach action. We must have seen dozens of stores advertising beach stuff "Everything in the store is $5.99 or less" (yeah, right...).
Our campground was right on the beach and it was surrounded by highrise hotels. The area we were located in was the cheaper accommodation options as far as the hotels were concerned. I would use the term "resort" loosely... lol! I would need a whole other post to try and describe this campground. Soup to nuts as far as RVs, Park Models, permanent residences that used to be 5th wheel trailers, etc. We could not imagine what this place was like for the 4th of July... crazy I'm sure:)
After we got settled in, the boys and I took a walk on the pier, which is adjacent to the campground, while Jim took Faithy to the beach. The last picture below is actually of Faith headed into the surf!
Last but not least, Jim and I spent a couple of hours doing laundry. Fun times!
