 * __ I. History __**

South Carolina is a state full of history. South Carolina's state nickname is the "Palmetto State" refering to their state tree. The states motto is " While I breath I hope". This state applied for statehood on May 23, 1788. It was the 8th state to join the Union. South Carolina's state flower is the Yellow Jessamine. Its state bird is the Great Carolina Wren. Here is some of South Carolina's history. In 1861, during the Civil War, Georgia joined South Carolina, Florida, Mississippi and Alabama in seperating from the US and becoming part of the Union. In 1869, after the Civil War, the University of South Carolina opens to all races. In 1953, the American 13-47 accidentally drops a nuclear bomb on South Carolina. Luckily, the bomb doesn't go off because of 6 saftety catches. In 1980, the 46th Heisman trophy was awarded to South Carolina's Runningback George Rogers. In 1995, the Northwestern part of South Carolina started using the new area code 864.

I would be staying in South Carolina from July 3rd to July 8th. While on my vacation I would watch the 4th of July fireworks on Myrtle beach. Next, would play a lot of Mini-Golf because they have tons of differnet Mini-Golf courses. Eating wouldn't be a problom because there is a veriaty of foods served at many resturants. Lastly, I would also spend a day or two visiting my relatives, such as my Grandpa, cousin, and other cousins.

__ **II. Itinerary** __

Saturday, July 3, 2010-Myrtle Beach I will be flying into Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. After I am checked in to my hotel my family and I will visit my Grandpa in Sunset Beach, North Carolina. We will probably go to the beach in Sunset Beach and relax after a long day of traveling.

Sunday, July 4, 2010-Myrtle Beach I will probably be tired from all the traveling I did yesterday, so my family and I will be relaxing on the beach and playing in the sand and water. After the sun goes down (because it is the 4th of July) we will watch the fireworks on the beach. Monday, July 5, 2010-Myrtle Beach After a nice, relaxing day on the beach, my family and I will go to the Freestyle Music Park. It will be the second time being there in the last 2 years. Last time we were there it was called Hard Rock Park though.

Tuesday, July 6, 2010-Myrtle Beach My family and I will be going to the Ripley's Aquarium in Myrtle Beach. I have read that they have a lot of different kinds of fish and animals.

Wednesday, July 7, 2010-Myrtle Beach Today, my family and I will go back to the beach and relax. The water on my feet will feel great after 2 straight days of none stop walking. My sisters usually bury me in the sand, so I'm looking forward to that.

Thursday, July 7, 2010-Myrtle Beach On our last day in South Carolina my family and I will go to Myrtle Waves Water Park. After spending most of the day at the water park, we will fly home and sleep as long as possible.
