What do you do when you live in the mountains of East Tn. and have a craving for good seafood and a walk on the beach? You take off on the spur of the moment and head for the nearest beach, which, for us is Myrtle Beachhttp://www.cityofmyrtlebeach.com/. One of the biggest draws for this trip is having dinner at "Drunken Jacks"http://www.drunkenjacks.com/, our favorite restaurant in the area. Seems like we always have a 1-2 hr. wait, but it's worth it.
On a side trip one afternoon, we were exploring a new area when we came upon a Segway rental co. We'd always been intrigued with these machines and wondered, how the heck do they work? After watching other people appearing to have fun riding along the sidewalks, we decided to take the plunge and give it a try. As I get older, I've noticed that my balance is not what it use to be, so I did have some reservations about how well I might do on this newer technology, however, once on it after a 5 minute training course, it became natural. We moved around the sidewalks and a small community park with ease. Put another check mark on this challenge.
The next day we decided to go a few miles further inland to the town of Conway http//www.conwaymainstreet.com/membershipInformation.cfm to find a particular riverboat tour along the Waccamaw River called River Memories http://rivermemories.org/. Captain Jim is the operator and you can see his boat, a silent electric riverboat, in the picture. If you're in the mood for a quiet, relaxing river tour filled w/ a lot of Conway history, and a few side jokes tossed in, this is the tour for you. Enjoy the wildlife and the beautiful river scenery.
Next time we look for another beach trip, we'll be looking for another adventure.
