Grandma just had to drag Grandpa, kicking and shouting, onto the wheel. It made about six complete circuits as Grandpa hung on for dear life.

A very large observation wheel in the heart of Myrtle Beach drew Grandma's attention.

Your terrified Grandfather on board the Myrtle Beach giant observation wheel. Notice that the gondola is enclosed. They also are air conditioned.

The view from the wheel.

Grandma finally convinced Grandpa to let go of anything he could grab to hold and and take a picture of her in the wheel high above Myrtle Beach.

In this photo two more gondolas are visible in the bottom of the photo.

This nice park, seen from the wheel, had benches for sitting and relaxing. Grandpa took advantage, of course.

The pier was very near the observation wheel. It didn't extend out too far.

The boardwalk at Myrtle Beach is not nearly as long as the one at Ocean City or Rehobeth Beach.

Unlike Ocean City Maryland, there are few shops and restaurants in Myrtle Beach. There are, however, a couple very nice shopping/entertainment malls.
