Last evening, SWMBO, Dave, his wife, James, their mom and her husband, and I had a magnificent meal and a large schooner of some fine micro brew at the Liberty Steakhouse and Brewery, which is in the Broadway at the Beach section (I guess that’s the right term) of Myrtle Beach.

After dinner we walked around the boardwalk, fed the fish from a bridge over the water, stopped for a cone at Ben & Jerry’s, and generally enjoyed all the touristy splashiness. I had a ball; it was a cross between the midway at a state fair and the souvenir trailers at a NASCAR event. Being amongst good people you haven’t seen in a while was the best part, though.

Today, we have a portion of the day to do more touristy stuff, before the birthday celebration begins later this afternoon. Right now, I’m torn between visiting the historic section of Conway, which I’ve seen and read about on Dave’s blog, or heading to a ginormous outlet mall just down the road a piece. I suppose one could say there are outlet malls everywhere, but man this one is a monster.

Whatever we do, we’re gonna have a bunch of fun.
