This memory was shared by Heather Schmidt, who experienced a beautiful four-generation family moment right here in Surfside Beach.

Captain Sterling Grey:

Some moments don’t just pass through a family…
they weave themselves into the generations that follow.

This is one of those moments.

This past September was a glorious day for four generations of our family.

My daughter and granddaughter came from Boston, and my 91-year-old father flew in from Atlanta to meet his great-granddaughter for the very first time.

It was baby Sloane’s first plane ride… and her first time to the beach.

Yes — Surfside Beach was her very first beach ever.

She grabbed Great-Grandpa’s beard, met her uncle and Pa for the first time, and Memaw (me) couldn’t hold her enough.

We all had the best dinner at the Claw House and a walk on the boardwalk.

What a perfect memory.
