More from Myrtle Beach

For those who may have been waiting, sorry for the delay in getting this entry off to you.  Our WiFi access has been very limited at best and we have now actually departed Myrtle Beach and are on our way back to PA.  Fortunately, the traffic situation while leaving the area was not quite as bad as the trip in, but we will think twice before visiting this spot again.  It was nice that the girls seemed to have a good time, particularly with the golfcart parades (say what?).  Ok just a bit more on that another day.  For now, we'll just share these photos.

Off to Myrtle Beach

Do NOT, under any circumstances, travel to Myrtle Beach on a Saturday in June.  The last 40 miles took well over two hours and this includes a hour to travel the last 1.3 miles.  That said, finally found ourselves in Pirate Land, a sprawling complex that is not exactly easily explored on foot when the temperature is 95+ degrees.

We find ourselves in this unlikely location as a vacation treat for granddaughter Jessica and a friend Brooke.  The first day of the trip, following many hours in DC and points South traffic, the girls were positively extatic about spending the night in a Walmart parking lot, since there was nothing else available within the range that we were willing to travel.  One attempted location was closed and the next was filled.

More about the experience to date will follow when we can get some better WiFi connection, but I cannot fail to mention that the biggest hit so far with the girls is a golfcart (go figure).
