And, we're off!

I realize I haven't written in forever but I figured I would at least write on my trip because I'm not sure what it'll be like...

Right now, I'm in Myrtle Beach, sitting in an "Atlanta Bread Company" that looks and feels just like a Panera; except the food isn't as good and they don't have as big of a selection. Amy and I have been here for two days and three nights and we leave tomorrow to stay with her aunt in Asheville, North Carolina and then from there we go to Nashville.

On the way down, we stopped at South of the Border. Amy has never been there! I can't believe it. She lives here and never went there and we used to stop every time we were driving to Florida. So we went to the tackiest place on Earth; but not for long.

While in Myrtle Beach, we went to the beach (duh) and then went to the Hard Rock theme park preview. It was cool. Got some videos there which are good (WELL, haha sorry, I had to, most won't understand that, but that's alright).

Yesterday we drove down to Charleston which is about and hour and a half to about two hours away. That is a really cool little city. It's so old and the houses have the best architecture. On the way there we stopped at this old plantation that was formed in the 1700's and that was really interesting. We got to take a little tour of the house, which a couple scenes from the Notebook were filmed and we learned a lot about the history of some of the slaves and their culture. There was this lady that put on this play and would tell us all about the Gullah people.

I don't know when I'll check in again, I'm hoping after Nashville.

I'm not coming back home until August 10th, so i'm hoping to have a lot to write in the next few days...
