Myrtle Beach Vacation Part 2

The second beach day was quite an adventure! The plan was to go to the south side of Myrtle Beach where a boardwalk connected two fishing piers. I thought Justin could fish and the rest of us would go to the beach or the shops on the boardwalk. Justin put in the 2nd Avenue pier into the GPS and we ended up 8 miles south of our destination, and not even at a pier! Talking to a police officer on the beach, it's a common mistake with GPS systems. Even though we left 30 minutes ahead of our friends they ended up beating us to the beach and set up right in the middle of the boardwalk. This made the fishing piers way to far to walk to so Justin didn't get to fish on this vacation at all! The south side of Myrtle Beach was VERY touristy and crowded. We had some beach time and then took the kids to a giant ferris wheel. The seats were enclosed and air conditioned so it was almost worth the money it cost just to be chilled for 5 minutes!
