We arrived here yesterday about 4:30 pm. It is a difficult drive on route 17 through Myrtle Beach and all of the folks complain about the drive. We try to take the by-pass (route 31) around Myrtle Beach; however, we got a phone call at about the time we were to get onto it and we missed it, so had to pick up the next entrance, so was a bit trying. Had a good trip otherwise and did have reservations, so didn't have to worry about that.
Camp Lejeune is a beautiful military site, the majority of the buildings are brick, with the typical southern architecture and it is a huge complex with a lot of new construction going on. We went to church on base this morning and heard a wonderful sermon delivered by Chaplin Stewart. He did the last part of the "fruits of the spirits" Self-Control from Galatians 5:22. He gave us seven points to use to develop our self control. We all made notes to use in the future. Lou and I feel very fortunate, we have heard some wonderful sermons through out the winter in our travels, feel like we have grown spiritually.

We went out for dinner last evening to The Riverside Inn, it was recommended by our neighbors and it was a good meal, but we always compare our seafood meals to the Sanitary near Cherry Point, NC and it came up short. Another interesting point, we have heard that Cherry Point has made a new Fam-Camp, has 50 camp sites, we always enjoyed going there when Travis was stationed there. We need to make reservations for the remainder of our trip and will do that this morning after the offices open. We plan to head for Elizabeth City for several days.
