Friday March 6, 2026 It was sunny fog again today for our last Myrtle Beach day. Keith has been wanting to eat at Johnny D’s since we got here (it was right by the entrance to our last hotel) so today was the day. Julie won with her order of a shrimp and crab omelet

Thursday, March 5, 2026 It’s Nancy’s birthday! Happy birthday!! I went down to the beach mid-morning to call the birthday girl. The forecast called for fog today, which seemed weird because fog goes away when the sun shines on it. Except apparently not in Myrtle Beach, because it was foggy all day. I really like

Wednesday, March 4, 2026 We took another trolley tour today – instead of music and movies and Myrtle Beach, this was history and the WWII years. A lot of U-boats were off the east coast after Pearl Harbor, and although that attack was widely reported, the submarines were kept quiet so as not to tip

Tuesday, March 3, 2026 Stepping out of our room’s door to the railing gives you the POTD view. It’s cool. And scary. We enjoyed the Blueberry restaurant for brunch today. Gary tried chicken and waffles for the first time (two thumbs up). It was at an area called Barefoot Landing and Keith brought this picture

Monday, March 2, 2026 Gary and Julie had lunch at the hotel restaurant, then called to tell us to pose on the balcony. We are on floor 16. They had struck up a conversation with the friendly bartender and ended up with buckets of drinks. Julie offered me a taste of her Voodoo drink. I

Sunday, March 1, 2026 The weather said it was going to be 69° and sunny today, so I was planning to sit on the beach. I didn’t. It was sunny, but it topped out in the low 60s, and it was windy. We walked on the beach and enjoyed the shells.

Saturday, February 28, 2026 Keith took Barbara and Jerry to the airport at 4:15 this morning. They were continuing their vacation visiting friends in Mobile. We got a late check out and they texted from Alabama before I got out of bed. We drove around, lunched, shopped and checked into our new hotel. This one

Friday, February 27, 2026 Jerry and Barbara have ice cream for lunch every Friday. Keith and I try to support our friends in all of their beliefs, so we scheduled lunch at Friendly’s restaurant today. Friendly’s is not available to us in MN or WI, so we go whenever we see one on our travels.

Thursday, February 26, 2026 My Uncle Fred died today. Nancy called to let me know and I was standing in the St. Charles church’s cemetery. I was looking toward the church at the time and took the POTD. Fred was 87 years old. He was the youngest in my dad’s family. He was the last

Wednesday, February 25, 2026 We visited Boone Hall Plantation on our way to Charleston today. It’s almost a two-hour drive from Myrtle Beach. We arrived and drove up the Avenue of Oaks. I read that it had such a place, but knowing and seeing are two very different things! WOW! Those trees (roughly 300 years
