Spring Break at Myrtle Beach



Rick and I went to visit Papa in Myrtle Beach SC for Spring Break. On the drive down, we stopped at the Wild Turkey Distillery.

And spent some more time on the beach.
 


For our last morning, we walked the beach at sunrise before packing up to head back to Iowa.

Dingle and Mount Brandon

We spent our last week in Ireland in Dingle. An amazing little coastal town on the southwest side of the island. We had SO MUCH FUN here!
