February 2021

For my birthday we headed to Myrtle Beach for a long weekend and it was awesome! Carl had been looking into places within driving distance that we could use some of our timeshare points and Myrtle ended up being the best option by the time we were ready to commit. It was so nice to get a change of scenery. The weather forecast originally didn’t look very nice as it was supposed to be rainy and colder (especially on Friday when we’d scheduled an outdoor tour), but we ended up being blessed with an entire weekend of sunshine and awesome temperatures! We toured Hobcaw Barony in Georgetown, SC, on Friday before getting some lunch and meandering around downtown Georgetown for the afternoon. Hobcaw’s property is beautiful, we had a really knowledgable tour guide, and our fellow tourists were pleasant so the tour was wonderful! Downtown Georgetown is so cute and right along the water so it was a great place to spend a sunny afternoon. We got ice cream and a whole bunch of chocolate treats. For dinner we went to this Italian restaurant called Ciao since we rarely eat pasta and it was tasty. I slept for like 11 hours after a full day of outdoor adventure and it was glorious! Day 2 included pedicures then wine tasting at Dublin Winery which was really cool despite being along busy Route 17. We also hung out at Grand Strand Brewing for the evening and got in some good people watching in the bustling part of Myrtle Beach. Once we were back in IOP the bday weekend was capped off with watching a whole bunch of dolphins swimming around in Breach Inlet. Such a fantastic getaway and birthday celebration! I loved being reminded of what fun our adventures are and look forward to getting to do this more and more soon hopefully!
