shamrockToday was our best weather yet. We awoke to warm sun and clear breezes today. Our hotel has been filled to capacity by cheerleaders from across the country that are attending some national championship event. Add to that: Can-Am Days, assorted St Patrick’s Day revelry, and about 300 hotrodders attending the Run To the Sun Car Show and Myrtle Beach was rocking all day today. Martha and Laura spent the morning basting on the beach while I enjoyed watching the girls practice their cheerleading stunts near the pool area. Continue reading →

martha & lauraWith 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.

Early Morning

It’s 7am and the girls are just starting to stir awake. They must have heard me come back up with a breakfast plate and coffee. Laura joined Martha and they are cuddled up in the big bed with the patio doors slid wide open so they can watch the early morning joggers on the beach and hear the waves crashing on the shore. I hope they don’t always expect to awaken to views like this while on holidays. Jackie I’m missing you already and wish you could have joined us.

We hopped on the bus around 4pm so we could catch all the happy hour specials up and down the strip. We ended up at a place on 21st called Dirty Don’s Oyster Bar and proceeded to consume a pitcher of lime Margaritas, 1½ dozen raw oysters, 1½ dozen hot wings, ½ dozen jumbo shrimp, and an order of chicken planks. They even gave me a free t-shirt! By the time I got out of there my lips were burning and my speech was slightly slurred. We had a great time and then decided to cross the street and try our hand at mini-golf. I think Tom and I played our best game ever and Laura was ticked she couldn’t beat her inebriated parents.
