Road Trip Day 2: South Carolina

If you thought walking around Universal Studios was tiring, you're in for a surprise. On Day 2 of the Road Trip, we start with an early wakeup, and a trip to the United States' largest Marines training facility in South Carolina. Here we will see what it is like for someone to train as a Marine, and we will get down and dirty ourselves going through various obstacle courses. Last summer, the campers even got to shoot rifles! Do not get offended when the scary soldiers scream in your face. After an exhausting morning, it'll be time to wind down and relax at Myrtle Beach's Broadway at the Beach. This outdoor mall hosts a number of interesting stores and shops, as well as a full Aquarium, IMAX theater, and plenty of other interesting attractions. Make sure you check out the FISH (always a highlight of the trip - when we get there, ask me what it means). When we get back to the hotel, you'll want to get some rest, because the next day on our trip was voted as the best day by the campers every summer...but more about that some other time.
