Enjoyed a wonderful trip to Myrtle Beach with my mother and Kristin at the end of March. We stayed at a high rise hotel on the beach which was very nice. Flew into Raleigh-Durham and rented a car to drive to Myrtle Beach. Had a chance to explore the area and enjoy the warm weather. A couple highlights - touring Hopsewee Plantation and having lunch in their tea room and taking a river cruise where we saw wildlife - ospreys, a bald eagle, alligator and turtles and also a few plantations. Found some good places to eat and enjoyed the time away.
A Great Fall Day!
Old Main behind the leaves Tredway Library Enjoyed a great day wandering around Augie's campus and a few other Rock Island places. The weather was cool, the sun was bright and there was a fall feeling in the air. We walked down by the slough path - there was a lull in the regatta slough races so we wandered up the other side of the slough. Walked to the top of the path and discovered new residence halls - Parkander North and Parkander South. Walked back down the path, wandered into Old Main and Denkmann Library - both buildings we spent lots of time in while we were students at Augie. Had lunch at Brew by the Slough - the coffee bar located in the library building. Continued our walk on the other side of slough - from down campus to up campus - wandered past Westerlin Hall and walked by Ryden House which was Ruthven House when I lived there my senior year of college. Drove around Rock Island a little bit afterwards - by Sunset ...
