Beach Rental Vacation Hot Spots

I live in West Virginia and want to suggest some vacation places to my family. I want to go someplace with a good beach nice hotels and maybe a little shopping!
Thanx!
We usually go to Myrtle Beach and I love it but I want something a bit differant this year.

I want to plan a small vacation to a family friendly beach this summer but due to the outrageous gas prices I need to know the closest one to get to. Please help me. Thanks!!

THIS is what happens when you’re at the beach for the week, get sunburnt to a crisp no matter how much sunscreen you slather on and drink nothing but salt water and soft drinks!

We had a heck of a time stopping everyone from seeing what we were doing, but only a few family members have seen the entiiire thing.

Anywho, i do realise that there are not many fancy transition effects, but that would have wrecked the timing, and fixing it would have wreaked havoc on our already delicate mental state (thankyou windows movie maker!)

well, enjoy. and feel free to leave a comment. no pressure. *smiles*
