Type: Travel
Cost: $$$$$$$$
Planned By: Adam's Parents
Adam's parents frequently travel to Myrtle Beach and this time we joined them for the long Thanksgiving weekend. They arrived on Wednesday. We left around 4AM on Friday morning and got there around 2:45PM. The drive was long but the weather was nice so it wasn't too bad.
Friday after we settled in we went over to Broadway at the Beach. First stop was Margaritaville for a margarita! Then we checked out some of the shops. We had dinner at Liberty Brewery and Grill. Adam and I like to try local breweries while in other cities and it was so convenient. I got the Raspberry Wheat and Adam and his dad got Santa's Little Helper. Mine was very good - lots of raspberry flavor. After dinner we walked over to the hard rock to get our shot glass - we collect them and this was our third new one for the year! Then we were exhausted and went back and watched Trainwreck which we both thought was hilarious.
Saturday we started off at a beach in North Myrtle Beach called Cherry Grove. It was a beautiful beach. Adam and I had fun walking in the water and collecting shells. The water was a little cold. Debbie & Richard took us on a ride down Ocean Blvd and we made a stop at Molly Darcy's to see the public beach over there. We went back to the condo and took a walk around the old golf course. It was very peaceful and hot - and we saw a frog!
For dinner we went to Boardwalk Billy's a casual restaurant on the Intracoastal Waterway dock area. I found it interesting that most restaurants in Myrtle Beach have regular American food and also sushi. Convenient if you like both I guess! We got burgers and beer and they were very good.
After dinner we walked down to get a better view of the Intracoastal Waterway where there was going to be a Christmas Regatta! We had to wait a bit longer than we expected but it was really fun to see the boats all lit up for Christmas. I took some fun long exposure shots, too. Then we went back relaxed, had some drinks and watched more movies.
On Sunday we went over to the Myrtle Beach boardwalk. We did not ride the Ferris Wheel which by the way is $20 per person - that's outrageous. We did take a picture with it though. We walked along the boardwalk and checked out some shops. There is a lot to do and eat and drink there! We had lunch at Art, a nice burger and (again) sushi establishment. The burger was huge - I would recommended sharing in the future. Then we went back over to Broadway at the Beach to get an alcoholic slushie at Fat Tuesday. Adam kept getting brain freezes and it was funny. We went back to the beach for a little while. Adam had fun wave jumping as I watched from the shore. We took a nice long walk on the beach together. The closest we got to golf on this trip was going to the golf store and playing in the putting station - which was lots of fun. We had homemade stromboli for dinner thanks to Debbie and went to bed early.
On Monday we got up around 5 and were on the road by 5:30AM. We got home around 4PM. The drive is a little over 10 hours. If you are in the mindset and have sour patch kids and left over stromboli the 10 hours goes by fairly quickly. We had a great time in Myrtle Beach and spending the weekend with Debbie & Richard. It was so nice to relax on vacation as opposed to our last few where we walked for miles and miles (still fun just more tiring). I can't wait for our next trip down there!
