5.18.09 Monday

Today at the beach was frigid. This morning it was 49 degrees!! I have never been at the beach at this time of the year and it been sooooo cold. We had to wear coats to walk on the beach.....and we were nearly alone (just met a few people) even the lifeguards were freezing in warm ups and jackets

from the few pics we took you can tell how cold and windy it was.... brrrrr. Mr S spent a lot of time working on his fishy puzzle and i read a lot.

on the road again-- today we drove right at 7 1/2 hrs and arrived at Myrtle Beach at 4:15 pm. at the South Beach Resort (http://www.southbeachresortmyrtlebeach.com/Index.cfm). Mr S took this picture on the way down here. He says it is a cloud pig

We have always tent camped at Myrtle Beach so this was a different kind of vacation for us. We drove in and out of rain the whole way here. The villa is nice and roomy and comfy. The surrounding area is nice as well. We are on the fourth floor and have a screened in porch.

while we were "moving in" for the week, Mr S took this picture of me

and this is us on the beach--taken by a nice lady in a purple dress--- it was starting to get cold

this is the view from the front door
