July 2008

We will be staying at Running Cedar all month. Hope to see you there.

Myrtle Beach 2008

We arrived on Saturday June 14 and got checked in around 3 pm. I loved our sites, the best we have ever had at the beach. 2 spaces from the lake and 6 spaces from the ocean. Getting set up went smooth as the site was level and big. After set up it was off to get our golf cart for the week. We love riding around the park all week in the golf cart. Saturday we just chilled and went to the beach. Sunday it rained late in the afternoon so we went to Broadway at the Beach and let the kids play Magiquest. Monday was a beach and pool day. Tuesday was the hottest of all so we headed to the water park at Surfside Beach and the whole family had a blast. The kids started fishing on Wed. and we fished in the lakes durign the day and in the surf at night. We caught 3 sharks about 8" long all week, but it was cool to catch a shark!
Thursday night we did seafood and the Magic Kingdom Amusment Park till around midnight. Then Friday we went back to Broadway and did Magiquest and IMax and some shopping. The weather was great all week and we had a blast. The trip home was un-eventful but we were tired by the time we got back Saturday evening.
Now its time to get ready for July 4th at Running Cedar, hope to see you there!

Pre-Beach Trip 2008

We headed out to Myrtle Beach last Friday and stopped over in Asheboro NC for an overnight at Holly Bluff campground. Its been around for 40 years. It was nice and clean, but did not have chairs by the pool. After dinner at the K&W and the obilgatory trip to Wal Mart, we rode our bikes around the park before dark to see if we could get any ideas for our park. The kids played putt putt and rode bikes. I think we have decided that we do not need a mini golf at Running Cedar. It was a quick stay and we were up and gone by around 10 am headed to MB. The traffic from Marion in was aweful stop and go for 10-15 miles it added at least 1.5 hours to our drive time. We did stop over in an old grocery store parkign lot for lunch. Pulled out the Honda generator for our fans and microwaves. I think we can stop, put the slides out and hook the generator. Then fix lunch and put everything back quicker than a stop at fast food. I love that about RV'ing. We arrived at Pirateland around 3pm and the check in was really quick and then off to our site.

Beach Week for Us!

We will be leaving Running Cedar this week for a week at Pirateland at Myrtle Beach. I am ready for some rest and relaxation. Our site is near the lake and only 8 spaces from the beach. Running Cedar is booked solid this week and July 4th weekend. I hope we will be full for all of July and August. If all goes well we will have our new sites open sometime in July. They will all be large 50 amp sites, and it will bring our total number to 23 sites. The lake is now a balmy 84 degrees and the pool is even warmer than that. If you have not made a reservation for this summer at Running Cedar please give us a call soon.

I will report back from sunny MB next week. We are staying one night at Holly Bluff near Asheboro and 7 nights at MB. I hope to bring back more ideas on how to continue to develop RC into a first class camping experience.

So next week will be: No Shoes, No Shirt , No Problem!
