Myrtle Beach SC

Andrew and I spent a couple of days in Myrtle Beach South Carolina. Someone from our church gave us two free nights at their resort as a wedding gift. We decided to use the stay for our 1 year anniversary. It was so fun (: Besides enjoying the beautiful palm tree scenery, we were able to do a lot of fun things.

First we went straight to my favorite restaurant, Johnny Rockets. It's located at Broadway at the Beach. The food is great but my favorite part is the old time feel ++ the workers dance to the songs.

After we ate, we walked our HUGE full bellies around to all the fun shops. They have everything from salt water taffy, fudge, icecream, candy store, gift shops, magic shop, rides...must I keep going? lol. 

They also have this really cool upside down house. You can go inside as well but we didn't do it. Definitely want to another time though. (:

We got to spend some time out in the lazy river & pool which was good for Andrew because he had a lot of work to do on his tan lines lol. In addition to soaking up the sun we enjoyed tasty smoothies.

That night we rode the Sky Wheel. It is one of those Ferris wheels that is fully enclosed. It's supposedly the tallest Ferris wheel on the East coast & from where I was sitting, I'm going to have to agree. Am I the only one who every time she rides a Ferris wheel, spends the whole ride talking about ways this thing might break down and what you would do if it started falling to the ground? Anyway, I lived again and it was sooo scary but so fun.

 There were a couple of arcades on the boardwalk so of course we had to stop in and play some games. This arcade was called the Fun Plaza. I loved the look inside there. They had tons of old classic games. 

At the end when we had one quarter left I played my go to game...not even sure what it is called. It's where you have to hit the spinning light on the bonus. Anyway, with one quarter left, I GOT IT! I love getting tons of tickets to spend on useless junk. It's the best.

OKAY NOW THE MOMENT WE'VE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR....red velvet waffles!! We went to a place called Johnny D's Waffles and Bakery for breakfast. Andrew got cinnamon roll waffles and we both agreed that this is the best breakfast we've ever had. So if you're ever in Myrtle beach, GO! 

Ripley's Aquarium was so cool! I hadn't been to an aquarium in so long..I don't even remember the last time. It made me feel like a kid again. We got to see sharking feeding, touch horseshoe crabs, and even touch jelly fish! You may be wondering why on earth I would touch a jelly fish after being stung a week or so ago..but I had to poke him really hard as revenge ;p

We took the shuttle from the resort to the beach. We actually ended up at the wrong one but ended up having a lot of fun. We walked the pier. Such a beautiful view!! When we looked down you could see some fish and tons of jelly fish! It's no wonder I got stung a couple of weeks ago..they're everywhere!

We had time before the next shuttle came back so we ate lunch at River City cafe. It was one of those restaurants you can throw peanuts on the floor, what more could you want? I don't know why but I always have a hard time getting myself to actually throw the shells on the floor...I feel mean. lol. Anyway it was a fun atmosphere, great food for a great price!
