DAY TWENTY EIGHT .. OUR LAST DAY AT MYRTLE BEACH!!!


   I had good intentions of catching a beautiful sunrise this morning but alack and alas .. I didn't make it .. LOL!!!  However, I did just barely catch the tail end of it .. there's a little pink in there .. whitecaps are rolling in .. and the wind is blowing!!!



Today is packing day .. we will be leaving early in the morning!!! 

 

 

The first load goes down to the car .. 




 We've cleaned our grocery items out of the cabinets .. cleaned out the fridge .. emptied drawers .. packed everything we could pack .. loaded what we can load for now in the car .. time for a last walk on the beach!!!  The rusty milk can is for Krysti .. she's like me .. she loves  the old stuff .. I sure hope she loves it .. it needs to be loved!!!! 


And here we are ..

LAST MORNING WALK ON MYRTLE BEACH 2017!!!




After our walk on the beach we got together with Jerry and Edna and did some sightseeing .. ended up at the Murrel's Inlet Marshland ...
















The white looking blob on the land not far from the Pelican in the water is a Jellyfish!!!  It was actually much larger than it looks here and yellowish!!! 







Of course we had to visit the K & W Cafeteria one more time for Pie and Coffee before going back to the hotel ..


Funny ... I got the Strawberry Cheesecake .. asked if I could have a little more Reddi Wip on it .. they gave me a whole big thing of Whipped Cream .. LOL LOL LOL!!!  I shared it!!!



Across the parking lot was a Beachwear store .. got a couple of neat pictures in there while looking around .. 




We later met George and Vivian on the beach and walked down the beach  to "River City Cafe" where Ken had his last 1/2 pound sandwich of Fried Bologna and the rest of us had Cheeseburgers and Fries!!!! 





Of course we ended our last day here  playing cards at George and Vivians with the whole gang!!!  Jerry and Edna are leaving for home tomorrow morning ... George and Vivian areleaving for home Wednesday morning!!!   What a busy and fun month this has been with a group of terrific people!!!!

I am packing this thing up tonight as we are leaving as soon as possible after we get up in the morning and will have Breakfast on the road ... the next time I sit down to peck on this keyboard will be in Savannah, Georgia!!!!  See you there .. LOL!!!

DAY TWENTY SEVEN .. LAST NIGHT'S OUTING!!!

It looks like we're in for another cold day today in spite of the fact that it's sunny and bright out there!!!   At this point we don't have anything planned for today except a cocktail party with some of the other "Snow Birds" tonight so I decided to post the pics from last night on today's page!!!  First let me tell you ... the Midtown Men were not the stars of the original Jersey Boys movie .. they were the stars of the original Broadway version of Jersey Boys!!!!  Now that we've got that straight .. let's go to the theater .. 




We were glad we got to the theater when we did .. it seems we just barely beat the crowd!!!! 
 

 


The theater is filling up ..


And the show begins ..  I was greatly surprised when they announced that you could not video tape or audio tape the performance but Photos were allowed!!!  However, we are in the balcony so the pictures leave a lot to be desired .. LOL!!!





During one of the last songs they had the audience stand up and "dance" to the music .. sad to say I can't remember the name of the song but the beat had you swaying back and forth from foot to foot .. my Fitbit liked it .. LOL!!!  



 Of course I went to You Tube to find a video of the Midtown Men to post .. click on the link below ..

A very good performance .. Applause .. Applause!!!  I had thought it was going to be a Jersey Boys evening and was disappointed when they said they would be singing songs from the Sixties but they did sing several Jersey Boys songs and I ended up enjoying the whole thing!!!   

When we got back to Caravelle Towers we decided to take a walk on the beach .. there was no moon up there to light things up so you couldn't see the waves very well but you could still hear them!!!  


Hmmmmm .. pretty dark out there!!! 

 






Last shot .. time to head in for the night!!! 


TODAY'S STORY ..  

Now that I have yesterday's story told and the show Ken was watching on TV is over we're heading out for a walk on the beach  .. see ya' later .. LOL!!!  



We had another bag of Popcorn left over from our bag of goodies from the Luau and Ken could hardly wait to get to the beach to feed it to the Sea Gulls .. LOL!!!  Click on the link below for all the excitement .. LOL!!!


Now we have Sea Gulls everywhere .. 



These are some really BIG birds flying over .. 




Ken too timeout on a bench while I continued walking to my destination .. the blue roofed building .. before turning around and walking back .. looks like he had been thinking I was never coming back .. LOL LOL LOL!!!


Now back to our place for a Salad for Lunch .. then off to do a little shopping!!!

Shopping has been done ... filled the car up with gas getting ready for hitting the road again .. we've even done a bit of the packing in preparation for Tuesday!!!!  And then it was time for the Cocktail Party at the Sea Mark.  We walked over to keep the Fitbit happy .. LOL!!!   

The party was in a 3 bedroom / 3 bathroom on the 10th floor of the Sea Mark.  Ken and I didn't really know Ken and Sheila, the people who were having the party,   but Jerry worked with Ken many years ago so the rest of our gang is friends with them.   We met them the night of the Farewell Luau but never really got to know them.  Their apartment / condo / whatever you call it is beautiful .. but not knowing them I didn't feel free to go around taking pictures of everything!!!  I did however take some pictures from their balcony .. they have a beautiful view since they are 10 floors up!!!  




They not only have a great view of the ocean but also of the sunsets ... 
 

Besides Ken and I and the host and hostess, Ken n Sheila,  the others there were Jerry n Edna, George n Vivian, Carol n Don, Nancy n John, and another couple we weren't acquainted with and I never did catch their names!!! Ken n Sheila own their place and live there full time.  Nancy and John own the one they stay in also but they only stay there through the Winter months in New York and rent it out weekly or monthly the rest of the year!!!

That's it for tonight folks ... one of our last few days at Myrtle Beach!!!
