As I mentioned the other day, my sister and I went to Myrtle Beach for her spring break. Wow! What an interesting week! We’d never been so we didn’t know what to expect. We knew our time-share was on the beach but we had an inclination it was going to be an older crowd due to the activities they offered…crafting, shuffleboard and bingo. Now, I must admit I do find bingo kind of fun. Other than playing in Spanish class in high school I hadn’t ever really played until I was in England in January, where I went to a bingo hall and played with family and friends. I didn’t win but it sure was fun – it really gets going and you have to pay close attention! Cheeky Bingo looks like a cute, fun, young, girly way to play online bingo in case you’re interested in giving it a try yourself. Maybe it’s just not for cute old ladies anymore!
Anyway, we were very surprised to find that Myrtle Beach was most definitely not a retirement community – but an almost “Jersey Shore-ish” type of place. Very entertaining people watching! There were lots of junky gift shops and loads of junk food. I did luckily find a place with a great falafel sandwich on the boardwalk. Abraham’s Gyros is a cute little family run spot. The grandpa did the cooking and the little granddaughter was delivering food to the tables – she was adorable and so eager to help. There was also a place with vegan Italian ice on the boardwalk! I can’t remember the name of the place but they carry Via Veneto Italian Ice. I had the pina colada and it was delicious!!
The beach was great but with so many jelly fish we didn’t venture into the water – we kept safe on the sand and by the pool. There was a big outdoor mall not far from the shore – just a 5 minute drive. We managed to find another mall not far away either where we saw the Hunger Games one evening. If you’re 17 or in your early 30s and pregnant there isn’t much of a nightlife – well I’m not sure what it would be like if we were able to go out drinking but my point is, the beach was lovely but beyond that there wasn’t much to interest us.
