Once we arrived to Ocracoke, we found out that the ferry to South Carolina (a 2 1/2 hour ride) fills up VERY quickly and usually requires reservations. We hadn't made reservations, but got in line to see if we'd be able to make the ride. The ferry only makes two trips a day and we wanted to make sure we kept making ground on the trip. While waiting for the ferry we had some time to kill. We walked down to a boat launch into the ocean and I wanted to stick my feet in the water to see how warm it was. There was a sign that read "Caution: SLIPPERY" and Amy told me to be careful. Needless to say, I slipped and fell in the ocean, fully clothed and got bruised up. Not only was I soaking wet, but my clutch also went in the water with me... along with my camera!!! I freaked out and was really bummed about my camera, but it was working just fine after a few hours. A few good laughs were had looking back, but that really sucked when it happened.
We made the cut on the ferry and were off to South Carolina! We drove for quite some time in SC and looked for a campsite late in the evening. As we were headed to one site (but couldn't really find it) we saw a gas station with bars over the windows and decided it was in our best interest to stay in a hotel. We found a place and made our way to dinner. The next morning we went to Myrtle Beach. The weather was nice, but partly cloudy and a bit overcast. Here are a few shots from MB.
From there we started to head towards Tennessee... we were on our way to the Smokey Mountains the next day.
