Myrtle Beach

I have been going to Myrtle Beach my entire life...and I must admit it is not my favorite place....however, I took a trip to the beach for only one night....It was the BEST beach trip I have had in a long long time!!!! Took me forever to get out of Rock Hill (nothing new)-nice ride down-so nice it seem to only take a short amount of time to actually arrive at the beach...

I went to Murrell's Inlet for dinner-I don't eat at Murrel's Inlet much anymore because Cindy's condo is in the complete opposite end of the beach. I went to Flo's--this use to be a favorite of mine and one of my ex-boyfriends...When I walked in the entire restaurant had changed-it had been added on to and was much nicer than I remember. **I loved the way it use to look-it looked more like a locals hangout than anything else...I ordered crab cakes (not the best crab cakes I have ever had-Ruby Tuesday's are actually better and I hate restaurant chains). While I am sitting there my waitress comes up and says the nicest thing(s) to me...**Can't include in my blog at this time*** 

As I was sitting on the balcony looking out at the beautiful black ocean I saw this orange light in the distance...My eyes are not in the best shape anymore...so I kept staring at it. I thought is that a boat-maybe a shrimp boat, maybe a gambling boat...what could it possibly be??? -it was calm evening-few waves and only waves breaking at the shore....so I could see (in a blurry haze-because of my poor eyesight) where the ocean met the sky...As I sat staring at this orange light it began to get closer to me..I soon realized it was the MOON!! Beautiful and I could not capture its beauty with my iPhone...It was amazing...a sign? 

I went to bed and I was worried about being able to sleep....I drifted off pretty quickly and when I awoke it was morning...

I went for a short walk on the beach-looking for shells, for solitude,  and for peace...I found all three!! It was before 10:00am and there were not a lot of people...there were beautiful shells that had washed up along the shore-so I picked up a few and kept them....I then found a quiet place-  I put my towel down and just sat there looking at this huge body of water in front of me...The sun was shining down making it look like diamonds sparkling on the water....with my mind racing as it typically does-I found it difficult to just chill....I kept refocusing my attention and it worked...I was able to just sit....

Once showered I went the old pavilion and walked around finally ending up on the sling shot! Fun fun
