Trip North - Myrtle Beach - Out and about

 We spent a lot of time at the Campground just relaxing, but here for one week so I get Gary out to see what Myrtle Beach is about as I had spent 2 months here when I first started out and just before we met.

 

 

 We stopped at Broadway at the Beach, a shopping center and entertainment complex.  Free to just walk around but you pay for the attractions

 

Gary seems to be holding up well today

 There is a boardwalk through the complex

and sea creatures below

 

Off in the distance is King Kong at the Hollywood Wax Museum

 

We try a bike ride to a nearby Art Museum

 

 We lost the bike path the main road so turned around and got the truck.  This was one of my favorite places when I was here in 2014

 

 A cool Octopus sculpture out front filled with litter from the beach

 

Maritime art on display

Upstairs was work by local students

We also ventured to Market Commons - close to the State Park.  The Market Common is a 114-acre lifestyle shopping center with a Downtown feel

There is even the Grand Park across the street.  With playgrounds, Ball fields and walking trails

 

 

 One of the more popular places to live in Myrtle Beach and it has gotten much bigger since I was here in 2014.  Housing starts in the 300's

Across the street from the State Park behind the Food Lion is a huge dog park.  There is a dry play area

 and another huge area with a pond

 

 Gary thought the Truck deserved a little TLC too, so it got a hand wash

 

 

 

 I unfortunately when pushing the door closed, my thumb slipped and got caught - Ouch

 

 Hope that doesn't affect my golf game!
