Myrtle Beach and Blue Crabbing


Tim and I are blessed to have Donna and Dave come through the Carolinas a few times each year. Donna and Dave are retired and they are fortunate enough to have the opportunity to travel frequently--especially in the southeast. Tim and I are fortunate to sometimes get to take part in their trips. For two weeks in October Donna and Dave spent some time in a great condo in Myrtle Beach. Tim and I took the trek down from Charlotte to spend a weekend with them on the Carolina coast. Since we did not get to go during the summer it was a refreshing and fun trip.

Tim and I had fun visiting, beach combing, and just getting away from everyday life. My favorite part of the trip was crabbing. Tim's family had never been crabbing before and I had fond memories from my trip out to Oregon a few years ago. In any case, it wasn't exactly crab season so the pickings were slim. However, we had a Great time. Enjoy the pictures of our family, the crabbing experience and the beauty of the coast!

I bet the natives loved watching us!!!
The whole family joins in...
I can't watch this fun and not try it too!
All of that work paid off with a single Carolina Blue Crab.
I totally felt like we were on the deadliest catch...but this one was not a keeper :)

Love this one...
