Myrtle Beach in the Fall

We decided to weekend in Myrtle Beach, one of our favorite places. Jacob was going to be busy with Scaremare at Liberty on Friday night and OBX with his buddies for the weekend, so I met Steve after his tournament Friday in Clarksville, and we put it in the wind!! The drive down wasn't too bad and before we knew it ~ We were at The BEACH!!

 Saturday was beautiful. We decided to visit all of our favorite "haunts."

 It's almost Halloween after all ;)    

 

 First stop ~ Lunch at River City Café. 

We love this little place. Steve always, always, always gets the Pimento Cheeseburger. So glad that Horseshoe at home now carries that, too! It's just one of those cute laid back places that you can write on the tables, walls, anywhere you wanna make your mark! The staff is always friendly, the food is always good and it won't break the pocket book!

They always serve your drink in these plastic cups that you can take home, so I only have like a million of them hanging out in my kitchen at any given time. When I get enough, I think I will open my own River City Café !!

 

  

When we left there ~ we both had places that we wanted to go to while in town. As it was nearby, we hit the PGA Super Store first. It is HUGE, and we love it. One of us loves it more than the other.

 He is pictured HERE!

I have to admit, I did enjoy it too. Soooo many cute golf clothes! And, with racks of summer clothes at 50% and 75% off, well, I had to check them out!!

I ended up not buying any clothes but what I did buy is a Swing & Grip Trainer. It is suppose to do a couple of things: Train you to have a proper grip and feel a full motion swing. Since it was on sale for just $16.00, I thought it was worth a try. It's weighted so it should build up the muscles that I need. Worst case scenario, I don't use it. If that happens, its perfect to leave near the front door in case I need a weapon!

 

Confession ~ One of the places that I wanted to go to while down here was Old Navy. This is my first purchase influenced by something I saw on another blog. It was just as cute in person and on sale for just $12.00.  You will probably see me wear this a lot this Fall and Winter.

After making this and just a couple of more purchases, wink wink ;) , we made our way on to another one of Steve's faves ~ named after one of his clothing idols ~ The John Daly store.

We have found that this store doesn't have a ton of stuff, but every now and then we have found some unusual items. And, they usually have some shirts that John Daly has worn on Tour. Steve is about the same size as J.D. so he always checks this section out.

On the other hand, I always quickly check the small women's section and then I'm on to investigate the rest of the store and amuse myself. For example, I found Freddie Couples at the back of the store. I think he looks happy to see me too ;)

I have seen Freddie in person playing in Raleigh on the Senior Tour. He's one of my faves.
 Cute and a great golfer. This is him in real life.

But, what I think is super cool in this store and I would love to give Steve are the awesome golf bags that were used by John Daly on Tour. But, they are just a weeee bit expensive.
 But, aren't they shweeet???

 

 

Next Stop ~ Broadway at the Beach 

 

 

 

 

 

There is so much to do here. We just walked and talked and looked mostly. And, then I saw this!!!! And, in honor of this blog and everybody who has taken two seconds to read my little blog, I bought it. The perfect addition to my Pandora bracelet!

 

A Piece to the Puzzle !!

 

It doesn't take much to excite me, and when I saw this cute little thing, well, I had to bring it home!

 I am just so tickled with this puzzle piece charm.

 

And, I don't know about you guys ~ but I love trying new places to eat when I'm out of town. My favorite place to eat while in Myrtle Beach is Chestnut Hill, and we had decided that we would go there after hitting Broadway, but then I saw Sweet Carolina's and thought.... MMMMMM :)

 

 

The sign on the outside boasted "Falling off the bone ribs" and "Cornbread with Honey Butter." I was sold! It didn't take much convincing to get Steve to agree. We were there, it smelled good even outside, and the Virginia Tech game was on inside.  So, we went in, and I swear Adam Levine's younger brother waited on us. LOL. It was a win win for everybody!

 

My plate (makes me hungry all over again)

Cute sign on the way to the restrooms ;)

 

On Sunday ~ we got up and went down to the beach ~ just to snap a couple of pics and look around. I couldn't believe that there were people in the pool! I was wearing boots for goodness sake!

 

 

But, it was a gorgeous day and if we hadn't been leaving, I would have loved to lay out by the pool or on the beach and watch people for awhile.

 

We were heading out of town, when we decided to hit Chestnut Hill for brunch. Yayyyyyyy!! I was so happy. I really had my mouth all set for their "to die for" crabcakes but the Brunch did not disappoint at all! I have decided that I would love to be a food critic and blog about it.

 (New career choice to consider.)

 

 

 

 

 

 

We didn't have a lot of time in Myrtle Beach this weekend, but we made the most of every single minute. As a couple, these little pockets of time are key. I had places that I wanted to go and things I wanted to see, but the main thing I wanted to do this weekend was to be with Steve. I guess we are lucky because we are both so easy going. There is never a time that one of us says, "why do you want to go there?" Instead, we just always seem to work it out. "You're going in Old Navy, okay, I'm gonna hit Dick's Sporting Goods. Text me when you're done!"

 

Great weekend. Hope you liked hearing about it ;)
