project 365 entry for Sunday July 5th, 2009
We didn’t leave out as early as planned. Oh, well. Not sure which beach we were going to, just heading east. Didn’t want to go to Myrtle Beach, it’s way to crowded for my liking.
We ended up hitting the coast & crossing into NC. I was not happy to find that everything was pay to park at the beach! I am just not use to that. We drove through several areas. Beaches were either crowded or there was no place to reasonably park. Finally started heading back south along the coast. Found a place to park ( yes, I had to pay..ggrrr). Having to watch the time, while kids are trying to have fun, so the money doesn’t run out of the parking meter is just not my ideal of fun at the beach. Oh well, the kids wanted to get to the beach.
The oldest granddaughter loved it.
My grandson thought he was saving his aunt…LOL He was so proud of himself.
My grandson & my youngest daughter:
My daughter & granddaughters had been collecting shells and putting them on a towel. What they didn’t realize, until this photo, that my grandson had been going behind them & burying the shells in the sand. 
Time was running out on the meter & I still had hundreds of miles to drive home, so headed back to the van. As we were trying to knock sand off of each other, an older gentleman came up calling “There you are! I was afraid that I missed you!” As it turns out, this man & his wife had watched me & the 5 kids on the beach. I guess people were surprised that the kids were so well behaved & that I had been able to keep track of them all by myself & still able to take photos. It was very hot today & he & his wife thought we looked like we needed something cold to drink. He had run back to their house to grab little kool-aid drinks for the kids & a bottle of ice-cold water for me. Bless their hearts. Never know when you will find the kindness of a stranger.
Got the kids loaded. They had been asking what Myrtle Beach was. So, I decided to keep heading south & drive through Myrtle Beach so they can see it. Then the plan is to head west towards , well basically pretty close where we started this morning.
Hope I made you smile. Until next time …
