Day 125 - Shells from Myrtle Beach (Throw)

Last summer we used our time share to spend a week in Myrtle Beach.  It was a fantastic experience and the most relaxing vacation we'd had for a long time.  Our kids are finally getting old enough to make a vacation enjoyable ... instead of work in an exotic location.

We spent quite a few hours on the beach, of course.  And each time we hit the coast, the kids collected shells.  And more shells.  And more.  Until we had an entire bucketful of shells that just HAD to go back to Indiana with us.  Why?  Because we're going to make necklaces out of them and keep them all as souvenirs.  The kids insisted that, because each one was so incredibly beautiful and unique, none could be left behind.  I even accidentally spilled the bucket a couple of times during the week.  Still, we carted hundreds of shells back home.

Where they sat on the back deck.

For months.

Until i moved them down by the garage.

For a few more months.

Where they got spilled the other day.

And that's where I found them last night around 10 PM.  I scooped them up on a snowsled and took them on a short trip from the garage to the trash cans ... and none of the kids will even notice.  Although I feel bad about depriving them of neckware.
