We have found the Atlantic Ocean! From the Appalachians we moved on to Myrtle Beach. Bethany and Ed were our awesome hosts. We ate some amazing home-cooked food, played mini-golf, and visited the famous beach and boardwalk. Myrtle Beach was definitely one of our favorite stops so far!
From there we ventured to Charleston, SC where we visited Fort Sumter. We continued down the coast to Savannah, Georgia, where we walked around the historic district and Chippewa Square, where
Forest Gump was filmed. We spent the night at Jekyll Island State Park in Georgia.
The next day we drove to St. Augustine, Florida and visited Castillo de San Marcos, the oldest fort in the United States. St. Augustine is a very cool place to visit with a lot of interesting history!
We drove down the Florida Coast to Fort Lauderdale, where we took a boat tour on one of the city's famous canals. Today we explored the everglades. While the area is incredibly beautiful it was almost unbearable to visit this time of year due to the heat and bugs. We did get to visit the Everglades Alligator Farm where we took an awesome air boat tour--video coming shortly.
It's crazy to think this will be one of our last blog posts... We'll try to make the most of the 12 days we have left! We hope you all get a chance to do something awesome before the summer ends too!

What great adventures (and pictures)! A friend we were hiking with today said the beaches at Sarasota are better than Myrtle Beach--hope you get a chance to check those out. Love to all three of you!
