Water

Ah, the feel of cool water splashing about your legs and arms in the midst of a hot day always brings a smile to your face.  Recently, the Lee family enjoyed a short break, and trekked down to North Myrtle Beach for some family time.  Most of the time was spent in water.  The pool, lazy river, or ocean, didn’t matter as long as it was wet.  The temps were comfortable (around 86 degrees) and the water was so inviting.  We thoroughly enjoyed spending time playing in the water, and enjoying one another’s company.

We knew we had to take Mary to the beach soon when she spotted a sea shell and asked, “What’s this?”  I guess we took for granted that she would remember, having lived in Beaufort, what a sea shell actually looked like…guess we were wrong.  As you can imagine, we spent many hours on the beach enjoying the pounding waves that knocked a 38 pound toddler around (yet, she smiled each time a wave moved her around), and carefully looking at the countless sea shells that covered the sandy shore.

This trip is destined to be a classic, and hopefully, we’ll repeat it soon.  A great time was had, and we did not even venture out of the hotel to see the many sights.  There will be time for that, just keep the pool water ready to be enjoyed.
