During Columbus weekend, Mrs. Holloway planned a trip for all of the residential students to go down to Myrtle Beach to spend the four-day weekend. It was so nice of her to organize such a great trip for us.
However, a lot of seniors needed to take SAT on Saturday in HRA. As a result, we could only go there after the SAT, meaning we lost almost two days of the break.
When we finally arrived in Myrtle Beach, it was already Saturday evening. The six-hour driving had made me very tired. But it felt so good that everyone in the residence stayed in a big apartment together without curfew. We were playing board games in the living room. To be honest, it was really crowded, but I loved the feeling of home here.
On the next day, I went to the beach with a few others. The beach was only thirty feet away from our apartment. It was beautiful. However, since no one was able to guard our phones, we did not bring our phones. So I do not have photos of the sea.
We played in the sea. The huge waves were pretty fun. The seawater was as salty as I expected.
In the afternoon, we went to the Broadway in Myrtle Beach. It is an entertainment center with restaurants, stores, and a lot of attractions.
We went to ride the sky wheel, and the view from above was pretty cool.
Later in the afternoon, we went to play go cart nearby.
Once again, we did not take pictures while driving. But it was really fun to drive with high speed and hit each other sometimes.
Besides the go cart place, there was a wax museum. Some of the wax were pretty cool and real.
Before I even realized, the Columbus weekend almost came to the end. To be honest, I only had Sunday to have fun because of SAT and time driving on the road. But Myrtle Beach was a pretty cool coastal city. But more importantly, I would never forget the feeling that every residential student lives together in a big apartment and creates a sense of home.
