Final Vacation Pictures

So another great vacation has come to an end.  We always have the best times!  Here are a few final photos of our week at Myrtle Beach:

North Myrtle Beach, South Carolina's Crown Jewel.......

The Dawn Comes Up Like Thunder Over the Atlantic Ocean.  Shot From Our Porch at 7:00 AM

Yesterday we were on the road, leaving Knoxville at 7:00 AM and finally arriving on the grand strand of North Myrtle Beach at 5:00 in the afternoon.  We were tired.  We checked into our beach front condo,  ordered some take-out and RELAXED.

View From Our Balcony Looking Toward the Atlantic Ocean and the Beach Bistro

The beach is beautiful and our porch overlooks the pool and ocean.  An ocean driven creek ebbs and flows  with the tide and winds through and around the property.  Pelicans ride the wind currents overhead.  Seagulls squeak their forlorn calls to the depths.  An occasional dolphin rolls in the surf.  The water is a combination of deep blue and steel gray.  The October wind is refreshing in the 70 degree heat.  The beach is almost deserted.  We love it.

We pour a round of toddies and repair to our porch.  Two raccoons amble along the poolside fencing in search of sustenance.  Ducks call out to the poolside guests for bread crumbs.  My binoculars come in handy as we search the adjoining condos for activity.  Life is good.

Sunrise at 6:45 AM

We slept like the dead, but were up early to enjoy the spectacular sunrise.  Today we will explore the strand, prowl through Barefoot Landing, shop for provisions and sink our bare feet into the Atlantic ocean, enjoying the feeling of sand squishing up between our toes. 

There is a God.
