Sorry for lying when I said I’d blog over the week. I was too busy puttering around the beach, but not anything particularly blogable other than our visit to Fort Sumter. Also sorry for lying when I said I’d never been to SC before. I saw Nickel Creek play in Greenville a lot of years ago, but I’d never been to the coast. Myrtle Beach is nice. I was expecting a touristy beach town, and it is, but our rental house was comfortable and it was a new experience for me to be able to walk out the back door and onto the ocean. It was nice and warm up until the day after Thanksgiving, when it suddenly began to feel like Chicago in December. After a very, very long day of traveling and coming home to a 55-degree house, it’s good to be home.
