Myrtle Beach Highlights

Friday…on the trip stopped just south of Greenville and in Lancaster SC.

Saturday…stopped in our usual Wendy’s in Hartsville SC, and the peach orchard. Will drove his grandparents from Jefferson to the peach orchard. Had PaPa John’s for dinner.

Anna left at 7 am with Phil, Victoria, Katherine, and Jordan…
…they went to the Nucor Darlington Family picnic at the Garden City water park.
PM lazy river.

Sunday…stayed in and watched the Espys. Thought Justin Timberlake did a great job. Supper was KFC. At 8:15, just before Ceil and her father arrived back with KFC, Will and I went to Martin’s golf superstore with Zane and Teresa. I was on my week long hunt to find a tag for the front of the van.

Monday…PM bookstore with Ceil, Matthew, Anna, Jordan, Vic, after watching some of the Espy rerun.

Tuesday…Par 3 golf with Will. PM...bookstore & Starbucks, then the lazy river.

Wednesday…noon putt putt for Matthew & Jordan. Very windy at the beach, huge waves.
Ceil went to Bonefish with the adults.

Matthew and I went to…
…Wal-Mart for Anna & Will’s dinner…frozen pizza.
…Burger King.
…the outlet mall (adidas, the Foxworthy Store, a bookstore, Puma, etc.),
…Marshall’s (almost snagged some $15.00 Nike waffle running shoes),
…Bass Pro Shop (Matthew enjoyed the huge fish tank and big boats, he got a minnow net, moon pie, and Myrtle Beach crushed 1964 penny),
…back to Book-A-Million AGAIN…to get M “The Diary of Wimpy Kid”
…a Waves beach store (69 cent shark’s tooth necklace
& looked for a front car tag for the van),
…Golf Dimensions, and another round of putt putt (with slow play but no one behind us we pretty much played every hole twice…both Matthew & I each had two holes in one).

Thursday…driving down the main drag, I passed one of many putt putt courses. Noticed a green golf ball in the gutter of the road…one that got away. Dinner at Five Guys Burgers & Fries…in fact, all 37 people here at the beach in our group ate together at Five Guys. I’m pretty sure that’s a first.

Afterwards “little Will”, a second-grader who’s been a delightful hand-full, was going downstairs to the lazy river with Matthew. I told them to wait on Ceil. Will didn’t want to wait, so I added that Ceil was scared and needed their company. Little Will said, “Scared? She’s in her twenties!”
