Manters in Myrtle
















Went to Myrtle Beach with the family for 6 days. We had great weather and a wonderful time! 14 of us stayed in a 6-bedroom condo. Debra ate a lot of clams and oysters....while Greg chose to stick with land cuisine. Grandpa taught Miss Alexa how to use a boogie board while baby Christopher just ate and slept peacefully in a tent on the beach. We arrived a day later than everyone else and had to leave a day earlier due to the race schedule, but 6 days was plenty! Debra took her new laptop, concerned that she wouldn't be able to work while she was gone. When we arrived, there were three other laptops already hooked up! What on earth did we do before computers? We took one afternoon by ourselves to go to the Ripley's Aquarium. Dad Manter would have said, "It's choice." On the way back, we stopped at The Seafood Shack (shack was appropriately descriptive). The food was amazing and we loved the atmosphere.... shells on the floor...the beach outside...and everyone in flip-flops and beachwear! Fun! We are back to reality now, but looking forward to next year's trip!

  1. I am SO Jealous!!! The Beach calleth! Sadly no water in our summer except for the stuff falling from the sky! I'm so glad you had this time to relax and share with the kids. And Christopher- the-younger is such a cutie! (Alexa's cuteness has been a long established fact)
