Myrtle Beach - Cherry Grove
11:16 Posted In Family , Travel Edit This 0 Comments »
Our SUV pulled in from a long drive from Myrtle Beach, SC on Saturday. We had a good time. You can't beat the Beachwalk Villas in Cherry Grove. They are on he second row from the beach, and if you walk across the street the building in front of it gave us access to an outdoor and indoor pool and a hot tub. The second floor of that building also had a game room and workout room. The second floor porch had rocking chairs where you could enjoy a nice view of the beach.
Cherry Grove is a great place for families. The best thing we found this year was The Black Pearl Mini Golf center. The one night we took the kids ( 2 2yr. old boys ) to get ice cream, we sat outside on the deck to eat it. We found an area to buy fish food and feed the fish and little turtle in the water tank surrounding the mini golf area. Remember, you can't play mini golf with a 2 yr. old. We walked up the stairs to leave and found a large arcade. It looked like Dave & Buster's in there! The boys had fun on the little kiddie rides. Our husbands were all into Wack-a-mole and football throws. I'd really recommend this for those rainy days.
For a night-time cool place, we stopped at McDonald's indoor play place. Jared had to have a place to get all that energy out. Our 3 bedroom condo with a small livingroom wasn't doing the trick. I'm hoping to find more indoor play areas for little ones in the future.
The best money we spent was on the Huriccane Fleet Dolphin cruise. The boat takes off north of Cherry Grove in Little River, NC. I've never been that far from the coast in such a small boat. The 3 foot waves rocked us heavily with water spraying into the front of the boat. The little guys really liked finding out the it was actually hard to walk from the rail to the seating area along the sides of the boat. Jared kept laughing while he tried to come over and sit next to me. After we got out to the shrimp boats the dolphins swam by our boat over and over. They were coming out to get any scraps left over from the shrimp nets. I'll bet I saw 20 dolphins. It was really great! We got some extras from the shrimp boats: a baby shark, a canonball jellyfish, ribbonfish, sand dollar, a baby squid, and a stingray, and a starfish.
