Monday, October 5, 2026 We had a delightfully slow morning. We had a late breakfast/lunch at Joanna’s. We ordered “smaller” skillet breakfasts, since the “meals” seemed daunting. The skillets were daunting. We actually made pretty good progress but had to surrender. I hope they can compost. (This is the before picture) My brother David recommended

Sunday, October 4, 2026 There was an artist collaboration called The Best of West Virginia very close to our hotel, so before we set out on the road, we wandered around. It was so interesting! So many gorgeous things. Keith asked why we are so cheap, because we didn’t buy anything. I asked if he

Saturday, October 3, 2026 Before I forget, I have to say Keith’s new rule. Driving in the mountains must be done in the day and hopefully in the sunshine. We are really going to have to start planning our trips before we leave. The alarm went off at 7am so we could get packed up
Friday, October 2, 2026 We went a couple blocks to Hoskins family restaurant – highly rated by the locals. (By the way, Michael just read that the median age of the population of North Myrtle beach is about 62. We fit right in) We passed it yesterday and the line went down the block at
Thursday, October 1, 2026 The day started with at least three people up to see the sunrise. I was not one of them. This is Nancy’s version of three nearly identical choices. Today was a pool day instead of a beach day. There was walking around the beach, but we got wet in the pool.

Wednesday, September 30, 2026 My whole goal in coming back to Myrtle Beach was to sit in chairs on the beach with my sisters. Goal achieved! We also played in the waves a lot. Our new umbrellas not stolen, just taken, were FANTASTIC! People close to us built a big sandcastle. I thought these were

Tuesday, September 29, 2026 Donna, Michael, and Nancy have been traveling since Saturday. They enjoyed a visit to Nashville, then Ashville with the Biltmore and the gorgeous Omni hotel. The sisters went for a walk on the beach. I made the boys not go with us, because they are not our sisters. They did a
Monday, September 28, 2026 I am a Buc-ee’s convert. First, we ate the sugar pecans today and they were great. Great. For dinner, we cooked the jambalaya stuffed chicken and might be the best thing I have ever cooked. To be clear, Keith cut open the package, I got out a baking dish, covered it

Sunday, September 27, 2026 Our friend Gary described Buc-ee’s as amazingly weird and I could not have said it better. Buc-ee’s is a chain of travel stores known for many gas pumps and clean bathrooms. Why they are enormous and filled with a gazillion people, I don’t know. Coming South from Charlotte our direction voice
Saturday, September 26, 2026 We slept in after our busy Dollywood days. Nice. We officially entered the Great Smoky Mountains National Park just south of Pigeon Forge. It as a lovely green drive. We thought we would stop in Gatlinburg and look for lunch. That was not a good plan. We crept down the main
