Mike and I took a quick trip to Myrtle Beach this weekend. Even though it's only 2 hours away, we had never been there. The main reason that we went was to finally visit Medieval Times (Mike's idea). So on Friday we drove to MB and checked in to our hotel, which was across the street from Broadway at the Beach, a wierd touristy complex that is basically like Downtown Disney, except not Disney. It has a Hard Rock Cafe, Planet Hollywood, Ripley's Aquarium, IMAX 3-D theater, amusement park rides, etc... So we went and walked around there for a while and then rested up to get ready for the exciting evening ahead.
We found our way to the Medieval Times castle, which was right next to the not-yet-completed Hard Rock Park (which looks pretty cool, by the way). When we got inside we were seated in the Black-and-White Knight's section. Mike really enjoyed getting to eat his entire dinner without silverware, while I particularly enjoyed wearing a crown. Our knight was totally awesome and won pretty much all of the games. We cheered and cheered, and at the end we were able to get a photo with our knight (see above).
After all that fun, we went to the Margaritaville at Broadway at the Beach and enjoyed some cold ones while listening to a band of middle-aged men who played mostly Van Morrison covers. The next morning we went outlet shopping and then checked out Ocean Boulevard. We had a fun time, and will probably go back again this summer.

I'm glad you figured out how to wear that wraap shirt. I was afraid that it would be too challenging. I was a bit puzzled at the store, but figured a Northwestern alumni could figure out anything. :) Oh by the way, who the heck is Ron Paul? When we were in Chicago, a parade of loud men with Ron Paul banners were shouting that he would start a revolution.
