Accidental Vacation Day 9

We left Morehead NC this morning and headed south to Myrtle Beach SC. On the way out of town we saw an add for the mullet festival. Based on the conversation we overheard at dinner last night, we think it’s some sort of fish or food, but we’re not sure what. Does anybody know?

We also saw a number of Wrong Way signs on the freeway. The intention seems to be don’t drive that direction on the other side of the freeway, but you’d think they’d be angled or something so it’d be a little clearer.

So Val has really wanted Coke lately, but we didn’t want to spend $2 on it every day so we bought a 6 pack and she’s been reusing her cup. Unfortunately those cups don’t last forever, but she’s a thinker. :)

We checked into our hotel in Myrtle Beach and then headed down to the beach for a little body surfing. The water was great. Just a bit cold when you first get in, but then it was perfect.

Side note, we passed 6 mini golf places on the 2 mile drive. That’s just ridiculous. They’re really into mini golf over on the east coast it seems. They’re all way more elaborate than the places back home too.

Val doesn’t want to be a brussel sprout.

Dinner at Margaritaville was pretty good. As were the margaritas.

They also played the margaritaville song every 45 minutes or so and had a big elaborate hurricane that had a bottle that came out of it to pour into a glass and everything.
