Brookgreen Gardens

During our Myrtle Beach camping trip, we took a day and drove to nearby Brookgreen Gardens. It is an enormous outdoor sculpture and botanical garden on a former rice plantation. I loved the trees (live oaks with Spanish moss) the most.

Myrtle Beach State Park - Beach

 I hate the beach. It's very boring and there's way too much wind and sun. But the kids love it. So we go.

I like trees so much better than the beach!

Myrtle Beach State Park - Camping

For part of spring break, Jess and Rosa invited us to join them camping at Myrtle Beach State Park in South Carolina. I'm not that fond of beaches, but the kids are, and I do love to go new places, so we were in. Jess and Rosa love this campground, but it wasn't really my style. There were way too many RVs and it was very crowded in our section. But camping is camping and we still had fun. You could walk to the beach from the campground and there were some gorgeous live oaks between the campground and the beach.

One night, the girls thought they'd try to sleep in the hammocks. It went about as well as you would imagine. Lots of set up and prep, and they lasted a couple of hours.
