Quick Thanksgiving Getaway in South Carolina

This is an impromptu trip with my friends. I love this mini vacay because it’s just chill and spontaneous. Having a quality time with friends is important. ❤️ Getting There - We drove from Jacksonville, Florida to Savannah, Georgia to Downtown of South Carolina to Myrtle Beach. Attractions - Broadway at the beach where you can find some rides like ferris wheel; Wonder Works, You can feed the fish too and ride a water boat Hotels - There are many ocean front hotels to choose from and we stayed at Northshore Oceanfront Hotel. Food & Restaurants - There many restaurants and bars to choose from but we had dinner at the Hard Rock Cafe. Shopping - Inside Wonder Works, you can but souvenirs such as t-shirts, accessories, etc. There are lots of shops near Hard Rock Cafe— candy store and ice cream shop. P.S.

Downtown Charleston in South Carolina

This is our first stop before heading to Myrtle Beach. Charleston is not only one of the oldest cities in America, but it’s also an exceptionally beautiful city. Charleston Historic District is a beautiful and colorful area of town to explore, it’s not the only reason to visit this charming southern town. The town is filled with southern charm, delicious food, great shops, stunning coastal beaches, and plenty of opportunities to enjoy some relaxing time. If you love arts then you would love Charleston more. Go check this place!

A Pandemonium of Pre-Beach Thoughts 🏖️

The beach trip countdown is on, and my suitcase sits in untouched splendor. My grand plans of a summer-ready body seem to have been lost at sea. In the face of imminent vacation, I'm left with the scramble of downloading series, making last-minute arrangements, and scrambling to pamper myself. My patronus, were it to exist, would be a relaxed panda, munching bamboo with a ""do not disturb"" aura. So, don't anticipate picture-perfect bikini shots, but embrace the chaotic adventure that vacation preparation truly is.

Yummy 😋
