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).
