Last weekend, for the Memorial Day holiday, my best friend Jess and I went to Myrtle Beach! It’s located over in South Carolina, took about 9 hours to drive there from Kentucky. We stayed at the very secluded and lovely Springmaid Resort (highly recommended) and totally loved our room, which had a great view!
Overall it was a great trip! We spent the entire time just laying on the beach, reading books, talking about random things and people watching. We made Seabreezes (vodka, cranberry juice, grapefruit juice and limes) with umbrella straws, stuck our feet in the sand and collected sea shells.
People watching was one of the most fun things to do. Fortunately there were no flabby men wearing speedos or women in thong bikinis (those were actually illegal on the beach, according to the hotel manual, haha)! There were lots of surfers to watch when the tide came in during the evenings! We even witnessed a lifeguard pulling a little girl out of the strong current and the multitude of paperwork that followed. O_o
We definitely needed that mini-holiday. Sometimes it’s worth it to just do nothing for a few days… nothing but chill out in a relaxing environment and read a good book. We did no sightseeing, except for a walk on the pier, so we weren’t stressed to go anywhere. It was awesome, I hope to go back someday. :D
Yay!!! That sounds so fun. :D
Wow! That’s cool! I am actually going to be going there for the 4th of July! Good thing they were able to save that girl. ^_^
I’ll have to check out that hotel. Looks nice!
I found something you may be interested in: Fan-Free Laptop Cooling! Sounds really cool, but i don’t know much about that ozone thing they mention in the last few paragraphs.
Very nice! You’re right it is great to get away from everything once in awhile. Glad to hear you had fun at DA BEACH! :dance:
The beach looks absolutely wonderful! I’m glad you had a great trip <3
It looks like it was so much fun. I was jealous of your Tweets saying you were at Myrtle Beach. I also love the photos you took.
Beautiful beach. If the weather is sunning, we goes also to the beach :D
I love Springmaid! I love Myrtle Beach! I’m going in late June! :)
Sounds really awesome! With all the hot weather we’re having right now I could do with a few days at the beach. =]
Yay! Your home. I can stop crying, lol. I am so glad you had fun. I even have a crafty idea for those shells of yours. As soon as I get it scanned into the computer I send it to you. Or if you read Woman’s World you have probably already seen it.
i just moved to south carolina (from north carolina) and i am so glad i’m closer to myrtle beach. :) granted, i live 10 minutes from the beach in charleston, but myrtle is so much fun. house of blues = one of the best places in the world! glad you guys had fun. :)
I was at Virginia Beach of Memorial Day Weekend, but I’ve always wanted to go visit Myrtle Beach. Sounds like you guys had a great time!
