He stayed in a condo right on the ocean and it was equipped with a pool and a hot tub. HELLO! The hot tub was amazing and if he had toes they would have wrinkled up he was in there so long.
The condo was also equipped with plenty of beach decor inside. Flip flip flop to the flippity flip flap.
Mr. P's first big adventure was to the coolest miniature golf place ever. It was called Mount Atlanticus Minotaur Goff and was 18 holes of pure magic and fun. Mr. P even got a few holes in one.
Mount Atlanticus Minotaur Goff was not only great because of the fun course but also because of fun things like this wall mural. We have no idea what is going on.
His first big meal was at an Italian place that one of his hosts has been visiting for years. He got a bottle of chianti and was serenaded by an accordion player who when not knowing any Beyonce songs played the theme song from Game of Thrones. I then suggested the Indiana Jones theme, which he played but changed the lyrics so it was about polenta! So fun. Mr. P was in stitches.
No trip to Myrtle Beach and the Grand Strand is complete without visiting one of the 576 beachwear shops. Talk about sensory overload! He laughed as myself and two friends bought the COOLEST beach towels ever.
Red Monkey was not impressed with Mr. Pickle having a rest on his back.
The next day Mr. Pickle joined us for a ride to Charleston, where we stopped at Johns Island to visit the Angel Oak Tree. Rumor is that it is 300-500 years old. The tree was GIANT, with beautiful limbs crawling onto the ground. It was majestic to say the least.
All that tree huggin' worked up an appetite. We headed to Black Bean Co., a Charleston chain that offered a ton of vegan options. Check out the size of that chocolate chip cookie! Vegan!
Mr. P headed to downtown Charleston to see the sights. The Charleston City Market featured sellers and crafts. He found some dill flavored lip balm. He was not impressed.
The city featured some fabulous architecture, from historic homes to beautiful churches like the Huguenot Church.
After walking in the hot sun and along the water Mr. P decided to wet his whistle with a Dragoon Punch at the Husk bar. I loved this place! So did Mr. P.
Next up was some snacks. We headed to Craftsmen Kitchen & Tap House, which we randomly found on our way to Husk. I loved this place! They had 48 taps going, and Mr. P enjoyed tasting the fruity ones with me. They had amazing snacks and the bartender was good company.
Feeling refreshed Mr. Pickle walked around town a bit to check out some of the shops. At Savannah Bee Company he tasted the sweet honey and enjoyed the atmosphere.
PEOPLE MATTER! Mr. P knows this, which is why he hangs out with them so much. Pickles matter, too!
After a bustling day in Charleston, Mr. P was beach bound back in Myrtle Beach, where he spent the good part of two days soaking in the sun on the breezy beach.
He even encountered several jellyfish that washed up on the shore in the mornings!
Dinner that night at Nance's Creekfront Restaurant involved this large statue and a lot of oysters.
After dinner Mr. P enjoyed a walk along the boardwalk in Murrells Inlet -- with a beautiful sunset on the water as a bonus.
The last day there Mr. P had to get a few more ocean hours in. The skies were too blue.
After such a relaxing and warm vacation it was hard to pack up and head home to chillier air!
~~
Mr. P still has room in his summer schedule! Check it out and see if he can join you on a trip. He hasn't visited all 50 states yet -- help him reach his goal!
