Growing up my Dad played golf every weekend. EVERY weekend. Even in the rain. It drove my Mom totally crazy. When he wasn’t on the course he was reading Golf Digest. Or browsing sites like http://www.myrtlebeachgolf.net
All of our vacations even revolved around golf. He would check out things like different Myrtle Beach golf packages . Don’t get me wrong, there are some beautiful resorts that have TONS to offer families but occasionally we would have liked to have planned a normal vacation that didn’t revolve around finding the best Myrtle Beach golf courses you have ever seen.
We always took vacations with other families…and the Dads in those families were always golfers too. So, the guys would plan out their day of golfing while the rest of us would go about our day as we pleased. Then at night, we all joined back up and ate supper together. That was a “family” vacation for us. One good thing about growing up with a Dad who lived on the golf course…I always got to drive the golf cart when I tagged along. Till I drove it into the lake. Yep. I did. You wanna know what he was the maddest about? His clubs getting wet. That is a golfer for ya.

Wow, it got above freezing today! Actually it got into the mid to upper 40’s today. It felt like we were at some ritzy Myrtle Beach Hotel laying on the beach! The sun was out, birds were singing, there was even a woodpecker hammering away somewhere in the woods. I never did see him but I could definitely heat him. AND….
…I left my house. I haven’t been off the hill in a week. I have holed up and hibernated through this unusually frigid weather and let everyone else go where ever needed going. Now, if they had said lets go grab some Myrtle Beach Accommodations, I might have left the house but I doubt it because from what I hear it was just as cold there as it was here.
I wonder if it snowed on the beach. Hmmm, I might have to look into that. Snow covered sand. That would be an interesting concept I suppose.
“Hey Suzy, how was your Myrtle Beach Accommodation? What did you wear while on vacation?”
“Oh, it was beautiful and I wore my snowsuit while on the beach”
Yep, interesting indeed.
I need a vacation!

First, let me tell you who the winner of the Nestle Giveaway was: #351 Betty Curran! Congrats. Check your e-mail for verification.
We got snow Thursday evening. It was so pretty and it shut our whole county down on Friday. I am still not sure if I will be able to get out of my driveway today or not but Susan is supposed to come over so I will let her be the tester outter. She has a big old 4-wheel drive so if she slides and gets stuck she will have better luck at getting out…and I can take pictures and tell you all about it all the while taunting her on the internet as well as in person. I am such a good friend. SO good that maybe she will want to take me to stay in a Myrtle Beach Hotel. Oh wait, it is cold there now too!
With the snow came some very cold weather. Cold weather that has stayed. Normally, we get MILD cold weather. It will occasionally get below freezing but not often and certainly not for weeks on end. It was 9 degrees on my porch last night. NINE. It isn’t even going to get ABOVE freezing for a few more days…something that we normally don’t go BELOW. I know that this is petty to you people that live up North and are used to the really cold temperatures and the snow but see, there is something that you are missing here. In the South, the stores don’t sell really big, really heavy coats that will keep you warm. Nooo, instead they sell stuff like bikinis. Stuff you would wear when going to an Oceanfront Myrtle Beach Hotel in the middle of the winter where it would normally still be around 60 degrees…but this isn’t normal!
So, I am dreaming of visiting Oceanfront Myrtle Beach Hotels. I can’t help it. I usually love the cold weather, it is typically a welcome break from the smoltering heat that we face in the summer but this year it has been a little extreme. Ok, not a little…A LOT. I want to feel just a little sunshine on my face and to be able to get up my driveway. Till then, I will share my favorite picture I have taken in the snow:
I have no idea why this is my favorite, but it is. Normally I am not a good photographer at all, but this one I thought turned out perfect and it was all a mistake. Guess that is what makes it so good!
