Fun time with the family

My husband and I drove to Myrtle Beach, SC Thursday for a few days with our son, daughter, her husband, and Landon, their 11 year old. The weather was beautiful, just a little cool, but no jacket needed. Friday night we enjoyed a huge seafood buffet, especially the crab legs. Well, the others loved them, but not me! Saturday the guys played golf while our daughter Tammy, Landon and I walked on the boardwalk at Broadway at the Beach. I could tell Tammy was hurting, so after a short while, we waited at a restaurant Dave and Buster's for the guys to meet us for supper. It has a huge arcade which Landon loved, but way too noisy! After, Landon rode some sort of large soft plastic bubble (looked like a hamster wheel!) in the water of Lake Broadway. He had fun tumbling around as the wind blew, tethered of course to the pier. But the best part of our get togethers is getting together. Just talking and laughing, as they say: priceless. Now back to cooking and cleaning...vacations don't last forever. And we probably wouldn't appreciate them as much if they did. Hope myLotters who aren't quite through with winter yet will soon have some warm spring days. We've actually had snow a couple of times in April over the years, but sure hope not this one!

Sounds like tons of fun. Would love some fresh seafood.

I love crab cakes and deviled crab, but not crab legs. The buffet is really huge, but I don't think it's worth the price. Of course, everything's more expensive in Myrtle Beach.

@CarolDM North Myrtle is nice, some places too much of a tourist trap, but others really good. Lots to do, for sure.

@1creekgirl I love it all. You are right about Myrtle Beach. I have heard it is a tourist town. But so pretty.

@m_audrey6788 We still wear masks in public as do many people still, but not in the condo room or when we're eating.

What a wonderful family vacation at the beach! Right, we are appreciative for those vacation days for a reason . We are definitely out of winter . . . and very possible we may already be out of spring!

@1creekgirl It "was" for a bit. Now we're back down to high 60s, just like that. What in the world is going on? It's as if nature cannot make up its mind!!

@much2say It's been a little strange here at times. But pretty much typical for April in NC.

I am so glad you had the family time, I am surprised that the buffet was open, I wasn't aware of any being open around here. But I remember visiting my son when he was station in Virginia beach and the seafood buffet was awesome.

@1creekgirl Thanks. We got 3" which froze on the trees in clumps and took down our ornamental tree near the front door. (see my latest post)

We've had our fair share of warm spring days. We're getting into our daily rains, so it's been cool in comparision. Not that I can complain. I like cool but not cold.

Uh oh, fellow myLotter @Melanie Marie will be jealous that you spent time in Myrtle Beach! That's one of her favorite places. Glad you had a great time. And you couldn't have said it better about the true value of get togethers. It's all about the family being together and enjoying life together.

I think that's something we realize the older we get.
