4th of July

Yesterday we were going to stay home but as our plans are most of the times it didn't happen.  Nancy wanted to go down to Murrells Inlet to see the boardwalk and all the restaurants. So I got on the laptop to see what they had going on for the 4th.  They were having a boat parade and then a C-17 cargo carrier from the military was having a fly-over down the coast,that sounded good.  
As we were going past the air base in Myrtle Beach as luck would have it the C-17 cargo carrier was landing because it was still early for the fly-over. I got a real close look at it,because it didn't land on this round it did a circle then had another approach. As we went in front of the strip I looked to my right and there it was coming straight at us. I don't know why but I get excited watching airplanes flying close off the ground. 
We got to Murrells Inlet and was lucky enough to find a close parking place to walk over to the boardwalk.  There were 1000's of people there enjoying the day.
Boats of all sizes.
All decorated up with flags and red,white and blue.
Then came the fly-over that was for a short time as the big jet flew over.
We came home and watched several 4th of July programs.  This was a feel good day and a day to be proud to be an American.
