Home from the beach
Whew, what a week! We left for Myrtle Beach, SC last Saturday at 6:00 in the morning. We met up with my parents and sister at 7:00 in Sevierville. We finally got to MB at 3:00 that afternoon. It took a little longer than planned with the girls. Every time we stopped, it took an hour! Yikes! It's not like we took our time either - we went to the bathroom, changed the girls and fed the girls...it just took that long!
We ate at Lee's Inlet Kitchen Saturday night. We were afraid we were going to be chased out of town by Tropical Storm/Hurricane Ophelia, so we didn't want to miss Lee's Inlet! :) Sunday and Monday were fairly nice. It started getting a little windy on Monday. Mom and I tried to sit out on the beach, but kept getting blown away. Every time mom would move, her chair would mess up.
Mom, Dad and Wendy left on Tuesday morning for fear of what Ophelia was going to do. Phil and I decided to stay. It didn't look like it was going to hit us directly, so we felt safe. We're glad we stayed. We ate lunch out on Tuesday and then stayed in the room Tues afternoon and Wed morning. We were finally able to get out Wed night for supper. It was a little windy and rainy during that time, but we never felt threatened. We didn't lose power. We did lose internet, though.
By Thursday, everything was gorgeous again. The ocean was back to normal and the sun was out hot. We took the girls down to the kiddie pool and let them float around in their little rings. I don't think they were all that impressed. :) Josh, on the other hand, couldn't get enough of the pool. He was okay with the ocean, but he liked the pool much better.
We left Saturday morning around 11:00 and got home around 9:00 or so. Again, the trip took much longer than expected. :)
We stayed at Crescent Shores in North Myrtle Beach and we hope to stay there again for future visits. It was gorgeous! We stayed in a 2 bedroom condo - which was 1450 square feet, so it was very spacious. It had an extra large balcony on it, which was very nice. We stayed on the 5th floor which was just about right, I think. I wouldn't mind staying in that exact same unit the next time!
We have posted pictures from our adventures. We didn't take nearly as many pictures as we usually do - we're falling down on the job!
Places we ate:
Lee's Inlet Kitchen (Murrell's Inlet)
Captain Nance's (Calabash)
Crabby Mike's (buffet - Surfside)
Captain John's (Calabash) - our new place - very good
Berry's Seafood Market (we ate in one night).
We would recommend all the places above...we always have our favorites (Lee's Inlet and Captain Nance's, but we do try to do one new place each time). Captain John's may become a close favorite to Captain Nance's...the menu wasn't as big, but the quality of the food seemed to be a tad better (and Captain Nance's is great!).
