Boardwalk and Good Vibrations

We are really enjoying relaxing here in Myrtle Beach!  The weather is perfect and the beach is beautiful.  We haven't spent a lot of time on the beach, though we have walked on it.  We have walked the entire boardwalk, it's only about 5 blocks long.  We ate a Beachside Bar and Grill and enjoyed the view.  We walked the boardwalk and stopped at the oldest gift and curio shop called The Gay Dolphin.  It is crammed full of stuff.  Hard to describe, but you can find everything from shells to pirate decor to fairies to beach decor, and on and on.  Jewelry, too and an entire section of dollar store imports.  We didn't bother to look at that, we just wanted to enjoy the ambiance anyway.  There was a back scratcher made from a dowel with a real alligator paw attached and preserved.  Can we say gross?  It was.  Steve Irwin would roll over in his grave.

I got Jerry to don his bathing suit after he rested a little and go to the pool.  I sprayed his lily-white body well and we warmed ourselves up a little and then I got him to go into the Lazy River.  He was just going along because I wanted to.  He is a 12-year-old at heart.  He enjoyed it and spent a lot of time making me go faster, or holding me back and finding the best way to "engineer" the inner-tube.  If it weren't for the fact we had to limit our sun exposure to one hour, we would have stayed longer.  We are on the way to finding out how to have fun and relax.
