Myrtle Beach

We pulled into Myrtle Beach State campground on Thursday around 1:30, got settled in and started to explore the park with our bikes; checked out the beach and then relaxed and had a nice tenderloin BBQ :)
Friday I had booked a tee time at one of John Daly's creations; every single hole had water on it!! The wind was up first thing and the temperature was only around 60 when I teed off. BTW Caroline wasn't going to chance throwing her back out on this leg of the trip. It warmed up where I could take my coat off, shorts and golf shirt rest of the way! ended up with an 80.
After my round we drove to the centre of Myrtle Beach and walked the famous boardwalk. We decided to take the Myrtle Beach version of The Eye (Londons big ferris wheel which we took a couple years ago), got some very nice views of the stretch of beach North and South. We did some shopping and also checked out a new shopping area which reminded us of High Street in South Surrey.
This morning (Saturday) I had booked a tee off time but the pitter patter of rain has put a damper on that today; the forecast is for heavy thundershowers :(
We have found a PCA Church which we hope to attend tomorrow.
