Indy and I had some meetings in the Myrtle Beach area and so we took Gwangi with us for some special one-on-one time and then kept going south to visit our friends down in Bluffton, by Hilton Head. The beach was amazing, and I fell in love with it all over again. I am so torn, my first love is truly the mountains, but sometimes the beach and the waves and the peace and the quiet of a walk on the sand brings calm to my soul.
Dinner out...so, so good! Thankful for Trip Advisor and reading some reviews on our drive down.
Dinner came with homemade hushpuppies and cinnamon rolls. Can't beat that.
The restaurant we went to...it was the 2nd place I called from the Top 10 Seafood Restaurants in Myrtle Beach Google Search I did...the first one was totally booked. Thankful we got in here.
Definitely worth it when you eat locally.
There was a neat area behind the restaurant with turtles and alligators.
And they seemed to live well together...
in fact the turtles were hitching rides on the back of the alligator.
Yep, that is the alligator peeking at me from the water. We were pretty close, but there was a fence between us.
Beach at sunset in Myrtle Beach.
Time with hubby and our #2.
So gorgeous and quiet, just not a lot of people out at all.
Another picture of the three of us.
I loved the sunset and water tonight. It was amazing.
What a cool house.
Then, we transitioned to the south side of the state and this is the pier down in Bluffton, by Hilton Head.
Lovely flowers.
And, we went to a bird sanctuary on Pinckney Island.
With my friend, Sarah.
Sarah and I...
And Indy, taking the picture, while Luke is taking the picture of Indy, taking our picture.
Walking along Hilton Head beach before heading back up to North Carolina.
It was sunrise today and I loved it just as much. Not a lot of people and so quiet.
We brought Gwangi and Krypto's two friends back up with us for a few days of boys and game time.
We took all the kids and visited Krypto at his job at Sonic Drive-In.
And, the games...all week they played ALL the games!
Boys and their board games (and there were RPGs and computer based games played, also)
And, then the parents and two younger brothers showed up and we enjoyed S'mores!
