April 14-16th, Myrtle Beach

April 14 - 16

Traveling 55 miles to North Myrtle Beach and we fought the river current part of the way.
The run reminded us of the Tom Bigbee River with towering trees and an abundance of wilderness.  John and Rita spotted a bobcat swimming the river! Our highlight was the Grand Dunes Bridge with a river boat turning around to take its passengers back home. We are now temporarily in fresh water and it is refreshing to listen to the frogs croaking.

We docked at Barefoot Landing with a 120 shops and 20 restaurants and we shopped and ate at every one...(just kidding)!  First night there we were walking by the Alabama Theater and the manager came out and gave us free tickets to Oakridge Boy's concert.  We had a foot stomping good time. 
Next morning we went to House of Blues and had a luscious brunch and listened to some good ol'
gospel singing. Rita and I had a great afternoon shopping until we dropped. That evening John hustled Ken at the pool table.

Monday was a day of cleaning the boat and then off to the beach which was a little over a mile away. We had John and Rita over for spaghetti dinner.  

North Myrtle Beach is part of The Grand Strand which is a 60 mile swath of white sand beaches along the northern coast of South Carolina.  This area is one of the premier vacation destinations, attracting 13.8 million visitors annually. We had a wonderful time!
