K-L Odyssey #2–Myrtle Beach

Our attempt at a 2-day drive home from Colorado became a 3-day drive when the tire on the camper blew out in Nashville, TN -

It took AAA two hours to arrive and help unwrap the blown tire from the axle and install the spare.   By that time, it was 9pm and we headed to Knoxville for the night (thank you, Uncle Craig, for using your bonus points to get us 2 hotel rooms for free!!!).   We definitely did not want to drive through the Smokey Mountains at night without a spare.

We arrived in Durham about noon.   We dropped off Walter and Nicky, and 5 hours later, Laura, Amy, the girls and Joey were on their way to the beach!  

I haven’t downloaded all the pictures from the beach, but here are the beach bums -

A week at the beach was much too short for us, but the condo rents well and is booked until next spring.  So, we had to leave.   Note the beautiful kids and their new outfits – back to school clothes were purchased with a day at the outlet malls.   A shopping must for young teens!
