Thursday - Spas, Blues, and Wonderworks

Thursday was one of those days where the beach was looking good but you could sense our time at the beach was growing short.  I try take it hour by hour and remind everyone there is still plenty of time.  Not easy to do.  In any case, Jen, Jordan and Michelle got a treat to head out to the spa to enjoy some quiet time. Meanwhile we started to get ready to head to the beach.  Today we put a different spin on burying someone.  Steve sculpted a great turtle in the sand and we buried Jake and shaped his body into a mer-man.  It was quite an effort.  We took up quite a bit of beach real estate as we also built another ball ramp into the surf.

As the dinner hour approached we got ourselves all cleaned up and headed to the House of Blues where we arrived to a small crowd and enjoyed a great meal of ribs, chicken tenders, salads, and wings.  There is a massive courtyard area there where we played around with the kids and let them chase each other.  It was one of those times where you realize next time we might be back in Myrtle will be when they are all two years older. Kinda makes you pause and enjoy.

That night Steve took his gang to the rides area of Barefoot Landing where Kayla and Matty returned to the rock wall and this time made it to the top!!  My gang headed to Broadway at the Beach to enter Wonderworks.  This three story adventure really has everything....experiments, simulators, rope bridge.  Jillian, Jake and I continued on to do battle in the Lazer Tag arena which was alot of fun and Jen and Jordan went around to the shops.  When we were done with the Lazer Tag we noticed some Palmetto Bugs (aka cockroaches) making an appearance on the bridge!

Once back to the room we headed over to Steve and Michelle's room to exchange some stories and laughed at various comments made by everyone!.  Steve told me that Jack thought I was eaten by a shark when we sent him the picture!!  (seen here)
