Myrtle Beach a Sandy Respite

 

An oceanfront room at a first-class hotel in Myrtle Beach! In my book, there is no better way to celebrate the end of a busy and challenging school year. 

We made the reservations a while ago so when Friday, May 16 finally arrived I couldn’t wait to hit Highway 17 north to this popular coastal attraction.

We returned to the Residence Inn Myrtle Beach Oceanfront. We must be moving up in the world! In May of 2022 our room was on the 15th floor (1508). This visit we had room 1606. 

Sunday morning I woke up at 6 a.m. in time to see this glorious sunrise. 

After snapping several photographs from our hotel room balcony I hustled down to the beach. A handful of other early birds had the same idea. 

Soon enough the yellow orb that is the sun emerged over the Atlantic Ocean. 

Memorable Memorial Day Weekend at Myrtle Beach

June 12 Update- My Myrtle Beach photo that begins this post was a winner in today’s Post and Courier photography contest. The topic is “Summertime.”

It was fun to return to Myrtle Beach for the first time in many years. For the Memorial Day weekend, it made a nice getaway that was not too far away. 

We had an oceanfront room on the 15th floor at Marriott’s Residence Inn. We were there two nights…

…and Three days. Alesia and I spent most of the time on the beach. The weather was perfect! 

That's the hotel behind me. It has 18 floors. We were on the 15th, Room 1508 to be exact.

This is a really nice hotel! I would definitely recommend it. 

The water temperature was very comfortable for taking a dip. We brought our favorite beach chairs and I had a good book to read (Harlan Coben's "The Final Detail" to be exact). So life is good!
