The kids have definitely had their fill of old forts. They keep asking if they can bring their scooters along on our walks through these old places. You’d think they would be told no a few times, figure it out and stop asking – they don’t. Maybe the national park service is missing an opportunity here - they could put skate parks in the national parks and monuments, allow the kids to bring their scooters in and everyone would be happy.
We had previously planned to head inland at this point to visit the Biltmore House in Asheville, NC. With lots of historical sites still planned in the days ahead and our move north taking us quickly out of the warmer Atlantic waters we decided to stick to the coast and make a stop in Myrtle Beach. A check of the RV forums led us to a campground called Ocean Lakes. It’s the largest campground on the east coast with 1 mile of beachfront, 900 campsites and another 2500 sites on annual leases. We got a prime spot about 20 yards from the pool complex and 100 yards from the ocean. We really enjoyed our time here. All of us got to spend some time swimming and bodysurfing in the ocean and the kids also enjoyed the pool. The kids collected live starfish, jellyfish and crab that were washing ashore. The highlight for Nancy and I was walking the dogs on the beach at mid-night. This was Buddy’s first opportunity to really cut loose and he took advantage of it.
