    Wow. That is not what I expected. Hope you enjoy it and also get air conditioner fixed.

    Enjoy the celebration and we wish you many more!

    I would suggest a party boat (Headboat)...Most likely would not be too busy on a weekday and a lot cheaper!

    Brookgreen Gardens is a nice place to visit for a stroll around the grounds and they have a short, relaxing boat ride where the captain talks about local history. It's just a bit south of Myrtle if you're looking for something to do. Enjoy your stay!

    Crabby Mike's is the best buffet on that end of the Strand in my opinion but all the buffets have really jumped in price.

    I think I have been to Brookgreen once or twice, didn't know they had a boat ride!

    The gardens and statues were coo!

    Congratulations on 35 years Jeff and Carol. Here's to 35 more happy fun filled firewood years. Looks like a ton of fun, but guessing it's best when you stay away from the touristy places. My SO has been there but that was before we got together. Maybe we will visit there sometime.
