Saturday August 5th
We woke up this morning and had a laugh at our kids expense which then woke them up and then they had us get ready for breakfast. The hotel had a continental breakfast and I think half of the incoming vacationers were here waiting to make waffles. We ended up having breakfast on the couch and that was not an easy task with two kids who sometimes have a dificult time at a table. We took Mandy over to the outlets 
and were going to head back to the pool after finding some shoes for back to school but had some trouble locating just the right pair. So we hung around and wandered through the outlets and every now and then we would meet up with Mandy and take the next round of bags to the car to lighten her load. We tried to run up to a flea market just up 501 behind Dick’s pawn shop but found out that they had moved the vendors down to the Myrtle Beach flea market on 17. We fought the incoming beach traffic and made it back to the outlets for another load of bags. We convinced Mandy that it was time to head to the beach house because everyone else in our group was going to be there and we had had a 12 hour head start. It turns out that we made it down to the house and no one was there except a cleaning crew, not just an ordinary cleaning crew but a carpet cleaning crew. It turns out the people that had the house last week had a tendency to spill things, its not that they were destructive just sloppy. We headed back to get our keys and they said go through the house and make a note of anything broken. When we made it back to the house everyone had arrived and were in the pool, the cleaning crew was still there but they were almost done.
Then we got the news that the carpet was going to be damp for at least 24 hours and we needed to were shoe covers when walking on the carpets. We unloaded the cars and filled up the house. We had to drag the starving kids out of the pool and got them ready for dinner. Tonight’s choice was River City Café next to the Surfside pier.
We were there just after 6pm and had a 20 minute wait for a table. We started off with the largest onion rings in Myrtle Beach, the kids had chicken fingers(the usual) Mandy had a grilled onion cheeseburger and I had a California burger with onion rings. 
The bill with tip was only $38 and Courtney our server was very nice. After dinner we made the mistake of joining the masses at Kroger and 1and half hours later we made it home to unload our groceries for the week. The kids wanted to get back into the pool but there was some lightning back inland and we didn’t want to risk the chance of a strike. The kids played some video games and the adults sat around and talked until it was time to put the kids to bed. Soon it was bed for everyone and the first day was done.
