With an overcast morning and showers in the forecast we headed out on the morning shuttle down to an area called Broadway at the Beach. It’s basically a tourist trap shopping area built around a man-made lake (map). The girls had fun teasing the carp and ducks with some food they got from the feeding stations. The water boiled with fish, their mouths reaching up and wide open, all competing for a fish pellet. It all seemed so surreal and disturbing to me.
It started to rain about noon so we slipped into a restaurant called Senor Frogs. The atmosphere was fun but the food was middle of the road at best with a tourist trap price. The girls had the Taco Tray to share and I had the Tampiquena. I know there are better independent restaurant choices to be had along Ocean Blvd.
After lunch the sun came out and the girls enjoyed shopping until 3:30pm and then we returned to the hotel for a swim. The afternoon temps ended up at a balmy high of 85F. Fabulous! Todays pictures start here.
We went to a great seafood place and had breaded catfish and pitchers of beer for cheap-cheap. The boys loved the fish fry style dining. Relaxed but hopping with customers. Small,private owned and it was reccommended to us and I’m passing on the reccommendation. Called “Bubbas”

Thanks for the dining tip Eileen. I’m not sure the shuttle goes to Surfside Beach from here but we’ll check it out. Temps are a little cooler this morning but the sun is shining bright.
Happy Birthday Martha! I’m in beautiful Saskatoon, Sask. Mark has a hockey tournament this weekend. Have a great day!
