We decided to check out Charleston and Myrtle Beach, South Carolina this Thanksgiving break. First we drove to Charleston and stayed two days, and then on to two more days in Myrtle Beach. Here we are in Myrtle Beach on the boardwalk with the Sky Wheel in the background.
And now the photos are in trip order.... Here are Ava and Jenna checking out Fort Sumter in Charleston in the chilly, chilly wind.
Here we are next door at the Aquarium. We saw Monsters of the Sea at the IMAX and toured the aquarium.
Here's their large tank.
Lunch afterwards on the water. We sat in a little chilly outside, covered heated patio. We walked around the markets in Charleston afterwards.
Here's Jenna on the the carousel riding the Chimp at the Holiday Lights Festival that evening.
Here's Ava in front of one of the many, many light displays.
We met Santa! First time this season.
Here's Amelia on our porch outside our second hotel in Charleston. We were above a marina. We played Bingo and Jenna won wine in a portable cup (aka her trophy). It was still cold, but SUNNY!
Andrew loves being in the car on our trips.
Here we are on the beach at Pawleys Island.
Ava at the dune.
We walked a bit, came back to the car to find a family feeding seagulls cheese puffs.
Now... Myrtle Beach.... and the waterpark hotel (The Dunes). The girls had a blast.
Here's Jenna outside our hotel. Our room was on the 11th floor on the side. Apparently, Ava and Dave are on the deck above waving. (We didn't see them).
A beautiful morning to walk the beach.
Dave HAD to bring all three girls to the first haunted house he could find. Ava chickened out. The picture here shows the result afterwards... not much in the way of scary.
Waterslide, waterslide...waterslide. Did you know Jenna met her first boyfriend who was working at the top of this waterslide.
Here are the girls as the huge bucket empties and covers them.
Here's Dave checking out the view from our balcony. Beautiful!
Now.. our traveling children want to know.............Where to next???!!!
