south carolina

that's where i went on vacation. first, me and my grandma (hereafter known as bee) drove up to charleston. sitting in a car all day? not fun. but, that's mostly what the trip consisted of, so there you go.

charleston was BEAUTIFUL. we stayed at the indigo inn, which had a courtyard with fountains and whatnot. we did a horse drawn carriage ride tour around the battery. the guide was funny. couldn't hear a word she was saying. i was trying so hard not to laugh, because everyone was nodding at her like they knew what she was talking about, when i couldn't understand a single thing. next day, we hit the market. took us forever just to get through half of it. shopping wonderment, seriously. if only i had more money.....

we then drove up to myrtle beach. found it swarming with teenage derelicts, 100 beachware stores (mostly by the name of waves or pacific or eagles), 500 putt putt places (again, most of them were the same with themes like treasure island or hawaiin vacation.) what i want to know is, why would you do the hawaiin vacation one if you really wanted to completely experience myrtle beach?

anyway, night came around, and we went to the pavillion, a cross between six flags and a fair. it had roller coasters ( i rode SC's biggest one...my first roller coaster ride ever had to be a good one, right?) and short lines, so i loved it. we also hit a gift shop called the gay dolphin. biggest frikkin gift shop i've ever been in. went on for what seemed like miles and miles.

next day, we hit broadway on the beach, also filled with shopping places. i tell you something; if i had money, myrtle beach would be the first place i would go. they have THE BEST stuff i've ever seen. we were shopping for at least 4 or 5 hours before we got hungry and went to eat some barbecue. that night, we went to the carolina opry to see...what else? the carolina opry. and it was pretty good. much better than i thought it'd be. i even wore a *gasp* sleeveless, purple shirt and a *big, big gasp* pretty, colored skirt. i caught myself in the mirror somewhere and didn't even recognize me, i swear. really weird.....

then, thursday came, and we headed home after hitting the beach. we were in that car all day long. we left the beach at 10 and didn't get home till 8. and bee didn't want to listen to the radio, and i don't like listening to music that other people can't hear. it seems rude. plus, if you want to start singing to it, you can't, because the other person gets annoyed. so i sat in that car almost all day staring out the window. we did stop for an hour to eat. i had the best crab legs in the world (well, since they were my first, i can't be sure of that....)

let me tell you, crab legs are really tasty, but they're a pain in the arse to eat. i spilled iced tea all over the table, just trying to get the shell off. not pretty.

agh, so i'm tired, and i'm gonna go. glad to be back!!!
