Day 24 - Myrtle Beach

Yesterday, we unfortunately started our day at the urgent care clinic... too much swimming for G who ended up with an ear infection.  Luckily the clinic took our insurance and he was seen by the doctor quickly.  Then we headed to CVS to pick up his prescription.  Done deal and he is fine so nobody needs to worry:)

Oh, I forgot to mention, we are in the land of Dunkin Donuts so Jim is on cloud 9.  We stopped in yesterday morning so he could get a chocolate donut... of course, the boys and I had to partake as well!

After that, we headed back to the campground for an early lunch.  We wanted to explore more of Myrtle Beach but not do too extensive of a bike ride, so Jim put the bikes in the back of his truck so we could drive part of the way in.  We ended up in the area where the big sky wheel is (adjacent to Jimmy Buffett's LandShark Bar and Grill....).  Tons of people watching in this area and again, zillions of stores advertising discount beachwear.  Oh, don't let me forget... several Ripley's Believe it or Not establishments.  Tourist mecca for sure!

Connor and I rode the sky wheel and loved it.  Jim and G hung out and had a snack at LandShark while C and I rode the wheel. We strolled down the boardwalk and checked out all of the junk stores before hopping on the bikes and heading back to the truck.

Once back at the campground, we put on our suits and headed for the beach.  It was late afternoon at this point, which is our favorite time to be on the beach.  Faithy loved it too:)  Jim and the boys built a sand castle so we could watch the tide come in and destroy it.  Fun times!

This first picture is Connor in the sky wheel.  The second shot is Jim and the boys engineering their sand structure and the third photo is Greg with the finished product:)
