Our Trip

Well sorry for the delay.

Well our trip kinda got off to a rough start, first Lisa did not want to get out of bed:


After I said I would make breakfast she finally got out and started to get ready. Then I decided that maybe we should have directions for where we are going, so I went online and that is when I noticed that the hotel I booked wasn't on Myrtle Beach, it wasn't even in South Carolina. It was on Ocean Isle Beach in North Carolina, about an hour North of North Myrtle Beach which is where Tim and Stephanie were staying at. But the Hotel's cancellation policy was that there are no cancellations, so what ever, we started our journey.

Then the second bad thing that happened that day, we paid extra for an ocean view room with a balcony, well what we paid for was not what we got, we had what I considered basically a landing for a balcony and our "Ocean View" was a stair case:
Other than these few hickups things were nice. We had a nice relaxing weekend together.







Here is a picture of Lisa on the Beach holding her Sea Shells:




Well we spent a lot of time on the beach, the waves were very powerful they did not seem to be that big but the had a big punch, tossing us both around. After about 10 minutes we had enough of the waves so into the pool. It wasn't very big but it was nice and close to our room. One one trip to the pool Lisa and I were just kinda hanging out by the edge and a little girl maybe 9 or so jumped in making a splash, I didn't make too much of it but her mom just kept on apologizing to me and telling her daughter to be careful, then I said "It's ok I'll get her back", we all had a good laugh. Well we were about to leave the pool and I hadn't returned the favor yet, because I thought it may be a little traumatizing for me to splash her in the deep end where she has no where to go. But as we were leaving I saw her get out of the pool, that was my window of opportunity. So I cannon balled her perfect, we all had a good laugh again and I wish them fairly well.

Our day in Myrtle Beach with Tim and Stephanie was nice, it got off to a rocky start seeing they were waiting at our meeting spot a Kroger, and we were at a different Kroger about 15 - 20 minutes up the street, took us about 2 minutes to realize what was going on. Then we decided to go to Cheeseburger in Paradise but we could not find it so we settled for HRC. It was pricey, food wasn't that great, but we got to the front of the 45 - 60 minute wait for a table because Tim and Stephanie had a VIP card. After dinner we went to Cold Stone Creamery in the heat of the moment Lisa claimed this to be better than Ben and Jerry's but she woke up the next morning (or was it afternoon) and retracted her statement.

Overall I'd give the overall weekend a 3 out of 5 snaps, with a bonus snap for being able to hang out with some friends from home for a total of 4 out of 5 snaps.
