Forty years ago, Susan and I had our first trip together (with Susan’s parents) to Myrtle Beach, SC.  We were still quite young then (notice the hair, braces, old cars, and shorts):IMG_0004 1975_025 (2)IMG_0018Things have changed a little since then:With GrandsonsBut we still love to spend time here with family:Beach hole Beach with kidsSandy SkeeballDino Mini Golfand as we celebrate our 36th wedding anniversary on August 18th, we’re thankful for the many years we’ve had together — at the beach or on the other side of the world!Mark and Susan on Pier Anniversary Cake

    I love seeing the old pictures of the young Mark and Susan in the late 70’s! Now I finally understand why Myrtle Beach holds a special place in your heart. Hey, that was a neat sand game you made for the boys! Happy 36th Anniversary!

    Congratulations, you two! Great to see you having some fun times together on the beach again. Can you believe it’s been so long? Doesn’t time just fly by even faster these days, it seems? Happy for y’all!
