Myrtle Beach

After a cancellation of our trip because of Dorian, Mike and I finally got to visit one of the places we both enjoy - Myrtle Beach.
The airlines and the hotel both changed our plans without any trouble. The only thing that messed up was the car rental. We get there and no has any cars available, except Enterprise, who took advantage of the supply and demand adage and charged us double.
Oh well, we made it to our vacation.
Now for rest and relaxation.
Our first stop was at our favorite beachside bar downtown to have some wings (Mike) and a draft (me) while we waited for our room.

Most of our vacations are decided on where we go, by both of us and the planning of the trip is all me. Well Mike did this vacation - all of it. The air travel - the hotel - the car rental and he even picked the golf courses we played.
The place we stayed was just a few blocks  north on downtown.
The first day we spent lounging by the ocean, just enjoying the sound of the waves and the sand under our feet.
We rented an umbrella. I told Mike that the life guards play attention to 2 kinds of people. The hot chicks and the old people like us, cause we got a prime spot.

Day 2 was golf. Mike picked a course that we played with the Dupplers one time we were down there years ago. It is the oldest course in MB - Pine Lakes. It was downtown and close to our hotel. We partnered up with a couple from Maine who was there celebrating her 70th. She was also a twin.
It was a good day.
Mike has always wanted to play the TPC (It's in Florida). Me - I always loved Augusta. So it was a given that we would play the World Tour golf course on our 3rd day. This course is duplicates of famous hole from around the world.
The 17th from the TPC.

Mike made it on the island green -Birdied

Mine made the island, just not the green

We played the 18th at St. Andrews. Posing on the famous bridge.

The back side had Amen corner from Augusta. If the azaleas were in bloom I would swear that we were there. It was spooky.

This course was too long for me (Mike loved it) and playing 2 days in a row. MB golf is much easier at 37 then 67.
The weather was getting hotter as the week went by so we decided to visit "Broadway at the Beach" for a day. We took advantage of the 2 for 1 coupons that came with the condo and visited the aquarium  where I touched a large horned crab, a jelly fish, and a shark. I took a pass on the stingrays.

 Then on to this strange looking place. It wasn't there our last visit. It's called Wonder Works. A place where wonders are experienced and explained. I still sometimes did not get it.

Mike and I both decided that our little grandkids would Love this place.

We had a great week. It seemed to me that MB is getting more commercial and larger.
Either that or I am getting older and slower. Nah.....
