Myrtle Beach

This was my current husband and I's first vacation together. He had never been to Myrtle Beach! I used to live in South Carolina and it had been a while since I was here at Myrtle Beach, so it was an easy decision. We wanted something cheap, fun, and easy to drive to. I personally like Ocean City, Maryland so much better than here, but our time off was for early June, and the weather and temperatures in OC are unpredictable at that time of year.
The trip started out with us in my car, which was a convertible. We had the top down from Pennsylvania until North Carolina I believe. We didn't think anything of it. Yeah, we were so fried by the time we got to NC. I had even gotten burnt on my scalp. His forehead was fried. What a great way to start out a beach vacation, burnt before you get there.
We pretty much hung out on the beach during the day. In the evening we did other fun stuff. We did the bungee jumping the first day. I know, it's not even that high, but it's still fun. We played miniature golf a couple of times, he is the "golfer" out of the two of us, but I guess his short game isn't very good, I kicked his ass every game. We went to the Ripley's Haunted House. That was an experience. They take you in and have you walk through yourself, with no guide, in complete darkness. I guess those flash lights they were selling where you buy tickets would have come in handy. We actually had taken a wrong turn at one point since we couldn't see where we were going, I don't have a clue where we ended up, but it wasn't part of the "tour". We went to a couple of the night clubs while we were down there, but most of them are 18 and over, and that to me isn't very fun.
The biggest mistake of the trip, I actually paid and got my hair braided. It was too short for me to wear up, and it was in my face constantly because of the wind, so I opted for the braids. I should of just bought a hat. Not only did they hurt like hell, but she did them at an angle, and they were pulled so tight that one of my eyes was higher than the other. And, I got sun burnt between every braid. The worst part of the braid ordeal, occurred a couple of days later, when I woke up and my eyes were swelling shut, and it looked like my forehead was growing a mountain. You could literally push on my forehead and the indent from your finger would stay there. Apparently my braids were too tight, and my scalp was bleeding from underneath, and I was developing a hematoma, which is a collection of the blood under my skin. I immediately took those stupid braids out. I should of taken them out the first day she did them, I didn't really like the way they looked. I will NEVER do that again.
It was a fun vacation though.
