I made it through the weekend at "Dirty" Myrtle, as a friend of mine calls it!
And yes Beth, we live just 35 minutes from Isle of Palms, but according to daughter it just isn't the same!
It really wasn't that bad. The place that we rented was clean and comfortable, it wasn't fancy, but that was okay.
We went to one of the all-you-can-eat seafood restaurants after we checked in on Friday night. Daughter's favorite is clams and they had plenty, so she was in heaven!
Saturday she and her friend hit the beach around 8:30 and they stayed out there ALL day.
Husband's father came and picked him up and they went to play golf and I headed down to Surfside Beach to visit with my MIL.
After husband and FIL finished golf, the four of us had an early dinner, along with all the other 70 and over crowd! It was really good at a place called Gulfstream.
Got back to the condo and took the teens to get something to eat down on the boardwalk. The girls got Henna tattoos and then we headed over to Broadway at the Beach. We walked around, watched the fireworks display and then headed back to the condo around 10. Husband had stayed at the condo so he could watch the Clemson game. Unfortunately they didn't win.
Sunday husband met his dad to play golf, again! The girls headed to the beach for awhile and then we checked out at 11 and headed to my inlaws house.
We ate lunch with them and then left around 1:00 to head home.
I think daughter had a great time, as she now has asked if I will take her back for spring break!
We were at Surfside Beach all last week (kids are tracked out of year-round school). Do you ever go to Myrtle Commons or Market Commons? I like going to those shoppes. We met friends at PF Chang's there, too. It's a little quieter than Broadway, but we took the kids there one night to ride rides. I'm actually surprised how MB seems to have cleaned up their act a bit. Not Dirty Myrtle any more. Ha!
ReplyDeleteI love GULFSTREAM.. I grew up in Murrells Inlet and went to HS in Georgetown.. Myrtle Beach is fun for kids!!
ReplyDeleteDid I mention that we lived in SC for 9 years & my boys have never been to MB? Too many other pretty places to go!
ReplyDeleteI have an Uncle in South Carolina and my son has played golf in Myrtle Beach. His H.S. Golf team took a trip there, he had a great time.
