Myrtle Beach TR

[afrobigfoot]

For the third year in a row we went to Myrtle Beach in late June. Unlike the two previous years we did not have school (summer semesters) to interfere with our trip and were able to stay for more than a few days.



All in all we had a great time though on the 7th and last name it kind of felt like the week had passed by too fast. Spent a lot of time in the pool, barely went out on the beach. Extremely hot, anything over 75 is hot to me, the mid 90's pushing 100 degree heat combined with muggy conditions did not go over so well with me. Nor did it mix well with any of our cameras as any time we stepped out of an air condition motel room, shop, restaurant, car, etc every thing fogged up and stayed condensed 5-20 minutes.



This is what I saw every time I walked out of a building, kind of sucked in a way.







On the first evening we began watching a wedding taking place 11 stories under our balcony, during that time two water spouts formed to the north, and another one to the south.











This is what our view looked like when it wasn't storming.







The view of the swimming pool.







A trip to MB to me isn't complete with out adding to my fat











Spent an hour or so at the Ripleys Aquarium. I like their aquarium though I wish SC had state ran aquariums like NC does which has them at 3 very convenient locations along the coast and cost about a 1/3 of the price.







Aquariums are also neat locations for people watching.











I got up early enough one morning to photograph the sunrise on the beach. I meant to do it again but then decided I didn't want to **** around waiting on my cameras to defrost.











On the way to the beach we avoided hitting falling metal objects from a bed of a pick up truck, but a 100 miles later we were unlucky enough to a "gator" (better known as a truck tire in the middle of the road). Thankfully there was very little damage to the car, a gator can easily tear off the front bumper or worse. SC has piss poor high ways, concrete road with thousands of black lines where they filled in cracks with tar, the tire was camouflaged until it was too late to swerve.

Great TR and pics! I love the jellyfish pic. You're right, Ripley's is expensive! Educators can get in free with an ID and can get a guest in for half price. Big bonus!

Thanks!



Thats pretty cool about the discount, I highly doubt I will ever be a teacher (though I did apply for a position recently that only required an associates degree in the field being taught (since found out that a few people with masters degrees applied for the same position (kind of sad when people with masters are applying to teach one single class at a community college))).

Fun pics. I have spent many a night at Peaches and then for you old timers, gone to Mother Fletchers.

What was Mother Fletchers?





I dont think I need to teach anyone younger than 16 at the youngest if I got that position though I do not need to worry about it anyway.

Been there got the t-shirt. Probably lucky that's all I got.

Mother Fletchers brings back memories of wet t shirts

That footlong dog and onion rings at Peaches looks mighty tasty!



Thanks for sharing the pics, Afro.

I think I still have a Mother Fletchers tank top buried somewhere in my closet.
