Lincoln Park Grill

Yesterday the lovely Robin and I joined our dear friends Jim and Diane for lunch at Lincoln Park Bar and Grill on Route 17 Bypass in Myrtle Beach.


Not only was the company finestkind, but the food and service was, too.


I loved my mixed green salad (with steak). Robin loved her pulled pork sandwich, and Jim and Diane raved about their meals too.

Day at the Beach

Today was a day at the beach--literally. We set out (the lovely Robin, Kevin, Aubrey, Ryder, Calleigh, and me) this morning for Surfside Beach just a few miles from our digs for this lovely week in Myrtle Beach.
We had no trouble parking, and setting up our substantial camp on the beach. It was a beautiful day to spend at the beach--well, a few hours, anyway.
Kevin and Calleigh spent the most time in the surf, and the four youngest members of the family took the water and the sand and fun while a couple of us (no names, of course) mostly sat and read and people-watched. Some people are just lazier than others, I guess. But my supervisory abilities made a success of the whole endeavor.

Fun at Barefoot Landing

Last evening, top off our first full day of family vacation in Myrtle Beach, the six of us (missing the rest of our family--Aaron, Nina, Miles, and Mia) headed out to Barefoot Landing in North Myrtle Beach, a collection of shops, restaurants, and attractions along the intercoastal waterway.

We saw some really big Nerds there (not mentioning any names), and bought and consumed more than our share of sweets (rock candy for the kids, ice cream for the adults, and some fudge to bring home). 

Calleigh couldn't wait to ride the merry-go-round (I couldn't tell if she called it that, or "miracle-round," but either way it's adorable). 

But Ryder couldn't be convinced to ride anything but Daddy's lap on the rapidly rotating (as these things go) merry-go-round. 

It was a truly enjoyable time on a beautiful evening in North Myrtle Beach. 

Smokin' Hot Grill & BBQ

After buying a whole lot of groceries today on our first full day in Myrtle Beach, we all decided to head out for dinner and the evening at Barefoot Landing on the north end of Myrtle Beach. We decided on dinner at Smokin' Hot Grill and BBQ.
It took us a little while to find the place but we did, and settled in for some good barbecue. We weren't disappointed.
I couldn't NOT order the whole rack of Carolina barbecue ribs, which were delicious. Robin thought the "Sweet and Sassy" barbecue sauce was a mite too sassy, but no one else said nay (their sauces are all made in-house or in nearby Conway, SC). We were all too busy eating. Great sweet potato fries (dusted with brown sugar), really good cole slaw, and excellent sweet tea. And leftovers to munch on tomorrow.

Vacation Mornings

Pretty great way to start the day.

Dough Boys Pizzeria

The lovely Robin and I, with Aubrey, Kevin, Calleigh, and Ryder, arrived in Myrtle Beach this evening around 7:30, quickly toured our luxurious vacation digs, and unloaded the cars, after which I set out to find a couple pizzas.
It took a couple tries (stopped at two places indicated on my iPhone map that are shuttered), but I located Dough Boys New York Style Pizzeria just a couple miles away at 2696 Beaver Run Blvd in Myrtle Beach.
I was greeted immediately and my order was taken with great friendliness. Dough Boys offers 20" pies, but I opted for two 16" (a pepperoni and a sausage), and we were pleased with both. The pizzas were still more than we could eat, delicious, and worth serving up again...soon.

I recommend it, for everyone in the Myrtle Beach area--for dine-in or delivery.
