Myrtle Beach, SC

We made our way from Blue Ridge Parkway/Mt. Airy, NC to Myrtle Beach, SC. Ate an early dinner at Flo's place...we both had seafood. Found our hotel and made it to the beach to see the sunset. What a treat! As we were watching the sun go down we noticed some dolphins.

The next morning we made coffee and watched the sun come up from our balcony and took another long walk on the beach then off to Hilton Head, SC. On the way we stopped at the little town of Georgetown, SC and found a great seafood place. Sylvia had a scored and fried flounder and I had a bucket of oysters.

Here we were able to get out to the beach to watch another sunset and as luck would have it we were rewarded with more dolphins.
Instead of just passing through, they were feeding and some of them were doing this from only 40 feet away. Sorry no pix....all you would have seen is just water, but it was really a sight to behold. We were able to get up well before dawn, make some coffee and watch the
sunrise on the beach and the dolphins were still there.

On leaving Hilton Head, we stopped at Fort Pulaski National Monument. At the gate the park ranger said that he was going to have to confiscate the Mini, but that he would only use it in the park, you know, for the good of the Park Service and the Nation. We also had our first aligator sighting.
