EVENTS WHILE ON VACATION IN MYRTLE BEACH,SC

Our first walk in the ocean.

A stingray caught off the Springmaid Pier. We walked from our resort to the Pier which was about a mile. The boys made it there and back.

A sand alligator we made (just kidding--I am not that talented)


Kevin and Carson relaxing by the pool


After all, we were in Myrtle Beach for biker week, so the boys had to have their picture taken by their favorite bike. (Spiderman)


A picture taken at Medival Times Dinner Theater. We took my cousin Tiffney's son Chandler with us, and the boys thoroughly enjoyed the show. We had a great meal, too. Mommy wasn't too excited about the boys wanting to sword fight after the show, but hey they are just boys, right?




The first night we had without children, my mom who was also in Myrtle Beach watched them, and we headed into Murrels Inlet to Restaurant Row. We ate at a place called Drunken Jacks and walked all around the marsh. The restaurant had a great history/story about its name, which was came from a pirate that had been aboandoned in Murrels Inlet after the ship sailed off without him. The ship came to the Islands in Murrels Inlet to burry barrels of rum (I don't remember how many, but it was a lot). Some years later when the ship returned all they found was Jacks skeletal remains and all the barrels of rum empty--hense Drunken Jack. We had a great meal there and then listened to Music at a neighboring resaurant called The Dead Dog Saloon after dinner.

A picture of the boys and I waiting for another show to start called La Grande Cirque. This was an acrobatic performance and the boys were fascinated (we were as well).


Broadway at The Beach
We went to Broadway several different times. There are shops, restaurants, fish feeding, paddle boat rides, rides for the kids, and even fireworks on Tuesday nights all summer long. Definately a place to visit if you go to Myrtle Beach, SC.

Ripley's Aquarium
We took lots of pictures at Ripley's Aquarium which turned out to be one of the boys' favorite attractions. They were able to walk through old pirate memorabila, look at different fish, sharks, rays, and horseshoe crabs.





one of the many different types of sharks we were able to see at Ripley's.(this was the fav. of the boys).

Thanks to my aunt Tammy we had an adult evening out to dinner with my cousin Tonya and her husband David. I am sure she had her hands full, my two and Tonya's two :).
