Spring Break in Myrtle Beach

We spent a week long vacation at Myrtle Beach and Sunset Beach over Spring Break. Thanks to some generous friends, we had access to a great beach house within walking distance of the sand and surf. We spent many hours enjoying the warm sun, playing in the sand and wading in the ocean. Here are some pictures that document the second half of our adventure.

This sign was posted next to a golf course about 5 miles from where we stayed. We spotted alligators along the lake banks several days in a row. Here are a few that we saw.



We also took advantage of a foggy morning and took pictures of the girls on the beach.













We spent one afternoon at "Broadway on the Beach", a retail and entertainment area.




Later that day, Faye, a long-time family friend invited us over to her home in Myrtle Beach and prepared a delicious salmon meal for us. The girls also loved making lava cake with her.

We played mini-golf at "Tribal Island" the last full day we were there.


Faye offered to watch Alyson, Kourtney and Ellary for Kris and me so we could have a date night. Kris and I spent an hour and half walking along the beach reminiscing the last time we walked alone on a beach-nearly 10 years ago while we were on our honeymoon in Cancun! Then we went out for dinner.

Honeys,
Dad and I have looked at these beautiful pictures several times before and didn't post a comment but we are learning now.
Looking at your happiness makes our hearts sing. Nice to see Faye there with you too.
Always & Ever Our Love,
