Today we slept in a little bit! We rolled out of the hotel around 9 am this morning and headed to Chik-Fil-A for breakfast. Two yummy sausage, egg, and cheese biscuits later and we were off. Today we drove up to our campsite for the weekend. We are hoping to camp at Huntington Beach State Park. The park is about a two hour drive north of Charleston. Our drive was uneventful, except there were a ton of motorcycles and police cars out and about. The only reason we could think of is that last week was Myrtle Beach Bike Week and maybe the people just stuck around for an extra week!
We got back into the car to drive out. Also, we saw alligators on the side of the road on the drive into and out of the park. Sweet! We thought we would head up to Myrtle Beach to check it out and got to the city limits before we saw the traffic completely stop. A quick left and some meandering later, we got back to our friend Hwy 17. We were getting hungry and decided to go to dinner at my favorite southern restaurant, CiCi's Pizza. So we drove the two hours back to Charleston and headed right for the pizza buffet. It was completely delicious. It totally lived up to the hype for mom.
Anyway, we got the park and talked with the camping people. We can't make a reservation for the group, so we need to either book somewhere else or maybe get to campsite Friday night. I'll have to figure that out later!
We decided to spend an hour or two on the beach. It was lovely and sunny and perfect. We went in the water a little bit, but mainly just relaxed and enjoyed the sunshine. What a treat to be in the ocean in may! Here are some pictures from the beach.
It will be the perfect way to spend the weekend after a long hot week of work.
We drove down to check out the primative camping area. There was only one group there and it looked like there was tons of room. They said it holds up to 300 people. It looks an awful lot like Minnesota.
