I remember those annual camping trips that we made to Myrtle Beach when the kids were young. In those days, cars weren't always airconditioned, so we drove with the windows down.
About 20 miles west of MB we would get a whiff of that ocean smell. That's salt, seaweed, wet sand, and a little fishy smell all together. Sometimes we hadn't smelled it for a year. So we just followed or nose all the way to the campground on the beach, and breathed deeply for a week. The good old days.
