All I See is Beach!

Florence, South Carolina

Well, it has finally come for a few days off and it was time to hit the beach.  The sun was shining, the weather was warm, and the time was right for a little vacation while we were on tour.  We have not had a chance to do anything like this for a very long time; even the crew was able to take advantage of having a few days off as well.

We could hardly wait!  Literally the last show couldn’t end soon enough.  We were all ready for a break and a chance to get away since in reality we would have been home right now if these last couple of weeks hadn’t been added. 

Even though they were, we are making the most of our time that we have left to spend together before we part and some go on different paths. 

Checking into our beachfront resort hotel, the view from the balcony was nothing, but beach and ocean-view from as far out as you could see extending in both directions.  For me, it brought back many memories from my college days when we were in Myrtle Beach for spring break and track meets. 

Taking a moment to reflect…

And then it was off to the beach and go-carting for the two days that we had to spend there.  Not to mention…all the fresh seafood too!

Sometimes it’s a little crazy, but all we need is to get away and relax and we will all feel so much better.  That mini vacation will always be in the memory books.

Unfortunately, as all good times do, it went way too fast and reality hit; it was time to get back to business. 

Even though this was one of our shorter weeks, it did not feel that way at all.  We had numerous visitors in to watch the show and we also had in-shows!  While some were professional, others were just for fun, and still others were humorous. 

It was amazing to see all the work that fellow cast members put into their performances even after having well over 400 shows.  We are literally a family here, spending as much time together as what we do so it makes sense that when one reaches for the stars, we all do and when one falls, we all do.  It is hard to come by, but when it does; don’t let that feeling get away. 

We are all getting anxious to get home as tour winds down, but we have to finish strong with only two weeks left.

Back to Alabama we head on another long bus ride.
