Beach November 2013

We went to the beach over the long weekend (kids were out of school on Friday). The weather was not the best but not the worst. It could have been colder and it could have been raining instead of over cast.  That is why we always stay at the Captain's Quarters at Myrtle Beach, SC. A family resort with indoor pools and lazy river, a bowling ally and restaurant.

Early on Saturday morning (11-2-13) we started seeing horses on the beach. Turns out this was some sort of charity ride and the organizers were expecting up to 1,100 riders and their horses.

Sea Gulls in the surf,  loving my new camera.

Jacob and his Lindsey, she was at the beach with her family just a few miles away. She got there first and began to send him  photos of the ocean. So he made this and sent to her.

 I made it up before the sun and got to the beach just in time to get some photos. Of course the end of daylight savings time probably helped me to get up early enough!

Arrrrrgh Mate! Me thinks we have hit the doldrums! All weekend long.

Then I had company and we went for a walk on the beach.

I found a beautiful big lettered olive shell, it had a tiny piece of another stuck in it. My husband had to work on it to get it out.

The other treasures I found on the beach.

 

My special treasures. We decided to make this trip because Ben is a senior this year in high school so we wondered if this might be his last year to go with us.   Time will tell.
