On Wednesday, we went to the Mrytle Beach State Park where we enjoyed the weather and had a nice picnic. After that, we all went shopping. [What's a trip without shopping!]

In the afternoon we went out on the pier of the Atlantic Ocean to watch the shark fishing. We followed it up with dinner at Ultimate California Pizza. YUM.

The people here are super nice. They all remak this is a wonderful thng that we are doing with our clients. Mike said that he would like to come back. When staff told Ilene we are leaving Thursday, she said no, that she wants to stay and is not ready to come home yet!

Beverly Hills and Greenbriar Clients: Reporting from South Carolina!

As told to Angie Folkwein

Program Coordinator

Clients and staff from our Beverly Hills Community Residence (clients Laura, "Mr. Benny", and Dennis and staff Michelle-APL, Mary-RST, and Kim-RPM) and from the Greenbriar Community Residence (clients Stanley, Ilene, Joanna, and Mike and staff Pat- RST, Conswaylo-RST, and Tequella-RPM) hit the road this week for a trip to South Carolina. Here is the update on their trip!

We are staying staying in a huge 1457 square foot condo in Myrtle Beach. The balcony alone is 178 square feet. We are here until September 2. The condo is within walking distance of the beach; it includes 2 indoor pools, 1 outdoor pool, a lazy river, and is absolutely beautiful. We all went to the beach Monday. Laura asked to take her shoes off to be able to feel the sand in between her toes, something she has not done in many, many years. Mike loved spending some time in the water and lying on the beach. Dennis and Ilene asked to lay in the sand and enjoyed every minute of it.

We also cruised the strip yesterday and enjoyed the little souvenir shops and the beautiful sights. Monday night our whole group had a nice dinner at the Sticky Finger Smoke House. The workers there were so nice and catered to our every need. After dinner, we watched a beautiful fireworks show, it was amazing! Tuesday we enjoyed a late lunch at the River CafĂ© and were heading to Ripley’s Believe It or Not for some evening entertainment.

We are really missing Linda who is spending time at the Trevino Residence while we are gone. We hear that all of the clients and staff have really enjoyed her company and don’t ever want her to leave! Shout out to Linda, we can't wait to tell you all about our travels when we get back. We heard you went shopping and had a super time.
