Anniversary Weekend at the Beach

Well kids one thing I do like to do when we go to Myrtle is go to Ocean Annie's!  Years ago Mr. Robinson and I were at Kingston Plantation for a business trip when a group of guys dragged us down to the bar that they claimed was not only outstanding but outrageous and they were right!!!

The girls joined us on a couple of the trips and it fast became their favorite too.  One quick story when we were there with the Robinson's and Chris Estep many years ago...Chris had to leave very early Sunday morning drive back to Charlotte then catch a flight back to Chicago and it connected in Cincinnati...well while he was waiting for his connection in Cincinnati this woman came up to him and said didn't I see you at Ocean Annie's yesterday!!  The only woman that ever remembers me is your mother...and maybe Carol!!

They have a very limited beer selection (one brand only) and lots of drinks for the ladies.  They also have live music and claim that the same band has been playing there for 30 years...although this time there were 3 bands scheduled throughout the day!




I know that you are not going to believe me but your mother said get a picture of that guy in the red shorts but every time I tried he moved and this woman showed up!
 






 
Anyway we had a great time again this year.  It is about a mile walk down the beach each way but that is part of the fun.  We made it back in time for some AC, Showers and getting ready for dinner.

Great food with this for dessert!
 
The next day we were up early again and we went for a great walk on the beach after breakfast.  
 
 
We had a noon checkout time so we headed to the pool after the walk and then I packed the car so your mother could get some more beach time in.

Home Sweet Home!!!!
 
Another great year and now we have 31 in the books!  Happy Anniversary Barbara!!

  1. I was looking for Barb in the middle of the grind but didn't notice her...you probably cut her out of the picture by accident!

  2. My post didn't go through so I will try again. Love the Kingston and enjoyed staying there. I don't know if we have been to Ocean Annie's but always go to Ella's when in Myrtle Beach. Should be on everyone's bucket list. Thanks Myettes for taking us there. As usual looks like you had a great time but then again, when do you not have a good time.
    Keep going and have fun.
