We have heard of the famous ‘Myrtle Beach’ for years, but now we can say we have been there! It is also our first time seeing the Atlantic together. Too cold for swimming but it is an awesome site. We are actually staying in an RV resort in North Myrtle Beach so we have a 25 minute ride to the strip in MB. For the off season, it is still quite busy, yet we got there just in time to be first on the Sky Wheel – the big ferris wheel like the one home at Navy Pier. We walked down on the beach, which is loaded with sea shells, and then back on the boardwalk. We visited shops along the way and had lunch at the Land Shark restaurant. This place is just as commercial as Gatlinburg, but it is much more spread out. Worst part here so far was the lousy crab I was served for dinner at some upscale place. Tonight, we are indoors as rains from the storm in the gulf are just making it up here. We had a nice morning walk thru a botanical garden right here on the Intracoastal Waterway at the NC – SC state line. We walked another set of boardwalks thru the swamp along the ICW. Digger loved the sights and smells more than us.
