Today we toured the Conway/Myrtle Beach area. Conway is an older, historic town with lots of little shops. Myrtle Beach is the big touristy area with too many good restaurants to count. We had lunch at a place called “Drunken Jack’s”. Joe had excellent Clam Chowder and a salad, Sandy had the Sampler Appetizer Platter as her meal: a taste of bacon wrapped scallops and shrimp, crab cakes and blackened beef tips. We shared an order of French fried sweet potatoes that we think had cinnamon on them. Pretty darn good eating!
We walked the River Walk where the restaurant was located, watching peacocks on a little island in the wild, and had fun feeding some pelicans bait fish that a fisherman was getting ready to throw out. We drove around an older portion of Myrtle Beach that had some of the old big southern houses that you picture when you think of the south. Not the plantations, but the in town homes. We also drove around a new development – one where there are condos over the upscale stores, similar to what we saw in Ohio.
We went back to Colleen and Danny’s for an afternoon nap and some relaxation before it was time to go out to eat our last meal together. We went to the Fishbone Grill, a very popular restaurant and one that us girls had eaten at the last time we visited Myrtle Beach. Delicious! Sandy had grilled Tilapia with a mango salsa and Joe had Sea Bass. A wonderful ending to a wonderful stay. It is always good to get together with old friends. And Sandy, Susan, Colleen and Marilyn have been friends for over 45 years. Sandy knows that when she gets in the car, she will already miss them. Joe says that they are all completely different people, but they each bring something special to their friendship, and it just “clicks”.
Oh – and the cork bowl ended at 19 corks. It’s not whether you win or lose, its how you play the game!
