The Beach House


Now that the kids are married and the tuition bills are behind us, we wandered off to South Carolina and purchased a townhouse.
We landed in Myrtle Beach, and this is a photo of Pier 14 on the Grand Strand. As the crow flies, this is about 3 miles from the house, of course, the streets make it a bit longer.
There are some stark contrasts between Minnesota and South Carolina during the winter months. The grass stays green in Myrtle Beach, back in Minnesota we have to wait until April to see it again. Water remains in a liquid form and sunshine is actually warm. I can run outside in a T-shirt and shorts. Last winter, I bundled up in Under Armor, long sleeve shirts and hoodies (I looked like the Michelin Man).
On the day we returned to Minnesota, the temperature difference was 69 degrees! You figure it out.
Of course, Minnesota has something we can find no where else - kids and grandkids. That makes all the difference.
