Destress in Myrtle Beach before Christmas



























Marianne and I out on the beach at sunrise....it was fun....and cold.













A basket full of happy shells we saw at one of the tourist shops. Marianne relaxing and watching none other than The Grinch!











When we came home my Christmas Cactus was blooming....yeah!


Marianne and I took off for two nights in Myrtle Beach with Korolla and April. We left Sunday after church and came back Tuesday afternoon. Barry took care of the homestead and animals for us. The cheapie package deal that we got included the hotel, with breakfast buffet, and tickets to the Dixie Stampede. Although it was a bit chilly on the beach, we had a fabulous and relaxing time. Marianne and April even braved the cold weather to go swimming in the hotel's heated pool....It wasn't too cold until you had to get out and make your way back to the hotel room...brrr. We had a great time and it truly was a de-stresser before Christmas.

They told the real Christmas story with camels, sheep, goats,...the whole nine yards!
Lots of excitement and good food. I'm glad we got to go.

Man, that looks like a lot of fun! Do they have the Dixie Stampede thing all year? Do they change up the theme with the seasons?

They do have the Dixie Stampede all year. This theme was Christmas in Dixie so I'm sure they change the theme throughout the year. It was fun. They really put on a great show.
