Hey guys!
As you all may know, I spent my vacation in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina at the Ocean Reef Resort. I am not the type of person who normally enjoys spending time at the beach, but this time... I definitely did! Why? Because the word "Getaways" had ABSOLUTELY no meaning to me. My boyfriend always said it was a result of me being a workaholic. Me? A workaholic? Stop being ridiculous! Okay maybe a little. No, let's be honest... I am a workaholic! Work always came first, then everything else. There were no exceptions, not even when I was sick. I fought against going on vacation because I always had something to do. Fortunately, I am truly beginning to realize the importance of getting away from your everyday routine to just breathe! To me, New York City is constantly on fast forward. Or maybe my life in New York City is constantly on fast forward! Yikes! This may not be such a bad thing..right? At least, I would always have something to do. HOWEVER...there are times that I definitely need a break and this getaway was truly appreciated and of course well deserved!
In the beginning, I just took in the scenery. But over time, I started developing spur of the movement impulses. (Honestly, I think I was just happy that I was on vacation.) Even though it was still technically winter, I had a strong urge to get my feet wet. However, when that water hit me. Literally it hit me. I RAN! It was so COLD! I had a misconstrued notion that during the winter, the water was warmer. In the summer, the water was colder. Yeah, right! I was absolutely wrong! Where'd I get that idea from? That story is for another day. Either way, I was having fun!
Spending most of my day at the beach wasn't as bad as I imagined. My boyfriend and I did go out for dinner later that night and caught a movie. I'm sorry but I'm a New Yorker, I was not dressed only to go to the beach. So we had to do something else besides "soaking up the sun!" After dinner, I requested that we go back to the beach to catch the sunset. It was beautiful, relaxing, and a great way to spend my first day at Myrtle beach!
Thanks for reading and supporting me always!
XOXO,
Monique
