The weather turned out great again today. Plenty of sunshine with temps in the 80's. Can't ask for a better time to be at the beach. Started off 
with a visit from my cousin Deborah Smith and her friends. She brought her boyfriend, Sam, and a co-worker, Kristi. They are all originally from California but have been in Columbia, South Carolina, for a couple of years. Being Californians at heart they really wanted to see the ocean/beach so the first thing we di
d was take a walk on the beach. Afterwards we headed to North Myrtle Beach where the concentration of tourist hotels and restaurants are located. We went to the Second Avenue Pier, since that is the first place we found a parking place. They have a good restaurant there so that is where we wound up eating. Here are Deborah and Sam at lunch.

risti treated us to a stroll on the pier. They charge $1.00 per person to walk out on the pier. There was a display for the fishermen with a fake shark for pictures. There were several people fishing from the pier. One young man had caught a small sand shark and was letting anyone who wanted to hold it befo
re he put it back in the ocean. Sam was the only one who was willing to step up and hold the shark. We really enjoyed seeing Deborah again and visiting with her friends but they had a three hour drive back to Columbia so it was not too long before they had to leave. Joanne and I drove on down the Strand a ways and then made a couple of stops at a local outlet mall. (Funny how we always seem to wind up at one of these outlets.) After returning to the coach to see to the dogs we went down the street aways to a local Bar-B-Que place for dinner. In all it was a really good day.

Hmmmm... Hold a baby shark. I wonder how many people have that on their Bucket List. Can't say it's on mine.
