4/14 Update From Myrtle Beach, SC

Hey Ya'll! (still in the South :o} )


Historic downtown Charleston

Charleston was a great town!  On the last half of our stay there, we toured Ft. Sumter and took in a historic carriage ride along the Battery and Rainbow Row.  Randy and I found a new ale that is pretty tasty.  It is called 'Son of a Peach' and it is yumo!  Perfect spring/summer ale.

 Barefoot'n is now at the Osprey Marina in Myrtle Beach, SC.  It is tucked in off of the Waccamaw River.  Very quiet and lots of tall cedars and pines.  We have seen lots of ospreys and turtles along this river.  We again decided to rent a car to see the sites of Myrtle Beach, Murrell's Inlet and Socastee.  It just so happened that fellow Unsinkables, Bud and Patrece aboard Almost Perfect, were already at Osprey Marina.  It was so nice to spend some time with them, having dinner at Ruth Chris' Steakhouse and getting some valuable tips and recommendations on what to see and do on our trip north.

As for Heidi, she celebrated her 9th birthday on the 12th, with some vanilla ice cream and singing.  And!  It just so happens that there is a goat farm adjacent to the marina.  Needless to say, she was super excited to go for a walk here!  :o)

Tomorrow morning, we will leave the great state of South Carolina and head for North Carolina.  And the adventure continues.....
