August in Myrtle Beach!

I love August. It starts to cool down, and transition to fall. Right now Karen and I are in Myrtle Beach South Carolina celebrating our 35th anniversary. We traveled on July 31st to Laurinburg, SC where we had a free night at a Days Inn.We found a Bojangles and downed a 2 piece chicken dinner at midnight. We were so tired and slept very well. We ate breakfast and left for our condo in Myrtle Beach. The resort is called Sea Watch Plantation and is tucked away from the businesses. We checked in and began to laugh over and over again. We are on vacation. We are on the 16th floor and can see for miles all around. Walmart is 2 minutes away so we went to get a few things. Tuesday we went to the beach. The water temp was over 80, and I just floated over the breakers. So nice to relax. The temp has been in high 90's all week. Karen and I had to decide between the pool or the beach. Every night at 9:35 pm the fireworks went off right outside our window. They are so loud, and beautiful. Coffee and newspaper every morning were fine for me while Karen slept in. Thursday at lunch we rode to North Myrtle Beach to Hoskins restaurant where we ate seafood platters. Karen had shrimp and scallops and I had crab cake,shrimp,scallops,flounder,and oysters. We had to take home over half the lunch. For dessert we took home a fresh piece of coconut cream pie. Next came a nap. Every night we laughed at the children shining their green lazer lights all over the place. The Wyndham night guards had their hands full as many of the young people were abusing the lights. Later we found that the lasers can hurt an apple ipad by hitting the screen. Today is August 5th and we have checked into Ocean Blvd. The rains have opened up, and we are relaxing on the 2nd floor close to the ocean. This weekend we are going to the Melting Pot near 48th street in Myrtle Beach. I am tempted to try the 4 course meal. We love Myrtle Beach. Sunday is our 35th anniversary. We met in Pennsylvania, moved all over the East Coast, and now live in the mountains of West Virginia. Our three boys are all married now and are living for Jesus. Karen and I are now enjoying a new phase in our lives. This trip has been a very peaceful restful time for us. See you all when we get back North.
