Myrtle Beach!

Thanks to Dave & Nita, part of the Farkle clan had a fabulous family vacation at the beach last week. We had 3 condos right across the street from the beach for 22 Farkles, and we had a blast! Thanks to the Matthews-Morgans for making this possible! Here are some pictures from the trip...
