Our-Road-Trips

After a long time of staying home, we decided to see Myrtle Beach in 2020. With it being our 40th anniversary, we decided to GO. The place we went to was where we went 40 years ago, Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.

We were surprised how few people were on the beach. Whereas in years past people were so numerous that it was hard to walk between the umbrellas. I know the first of November is far different from summer but we had temperatures in the high seventy’s. it was a great time to sit on the beach and enjoy the sun.

We really enjoyed have the beach almost to our selves. Myrtle Beach in 2020 gave us time to sit back in the sun and catch up on our reading.

Eating at some of the great restaurants was also much easier than the other times that we have been here. We called to make reservations but I don’t think we needed to other than for seating location. You can see a couple below. I will be posting more on the restaurants. We went to some great places at Murrell’s Inlet and at Calabash.

We could not believe how nice everything was at Myrtle Beach in 2020. When first making our plans we thought that we would have to eat in most nights, but you can see this was not the case.

My third post in the series is the Ringling House or Ca’d’Zan. In other post I have written about the Ringling Art Museum and the Grounds around the Ringling House and Museums. But the house of John and Mable Ringling is the center piece of the Ringling’s and is open for tours. Because the price of the house tours is as different as the tours, you may wish to give it some thought before deciding which tours to take.

If you are getting a museum tour you can add on a self guided tour of the house for ten dollars. For twenty dollars plus museum admission you can take the Mable Tour, which is a forty minute guided tour of the first and second floor. Another option is John’s Tour. This forty-five minute tour takes you to the game room, fourth floor and the tower. The price for John’s tour is thirty dollars. Finally the last option is the John and Mable tour which combines the two. The price of this tour is forty dollars.
