We left Myrtle Beach at 7:15am. After a full day of driving, only stopping a few times for coffee, bathroom breaks, and a picnic lunch at the Virginia Welcome Center at Lambsburg, we arrived at Comfort Suites Bridgeport-Clarksburg, WV around 5pm. We checked in and then walked across the parking lot from our hotel to the IHOP for supper.
Maggie got macaroni and cheese with applesauce and Poppy & I shared some chicken and waffles (and sampled other people’s plates… hehe).
We went looking for shells and brought shovels this time. Harry pretended to dig for treasure, which morphed into a game of him drawing a line in the sand for his sisters to follow to the imaginary treasure.
Harry & John tried two courses. First was Spyglass Adventure Golf, where we dropped them off on our way to the park. Then they took a short Uber ride to Treasure Island Mini Golf, where we picked them up afterward.
It was still too cold to go to the beach so we went to the playground while Harry & John went mini-golfing.
Maggie was actually the one who asked if we could go to the indoor pool, while the wind was howling outside!
The rain started as we drove back to the condo, as predicted.
Only Harry was brave enough to go in the water. High of 23C today with rain starting around 1pm.
The rain stopped but it was still cloudy and windy outside so we swam in the indoor pool.
For dinner we got take-out—delicious fried chicken, biscuits, fries, “botato” rounds, Cajun pinto beans, coleslaw, and “legendary” unsweetened iced tea. It came in two giant “Happy Meal boxes” as Daisy called them.
As we were leaving the beach this morning Poppy exclaimed, “I love a beach! Bye bye beach!”
Harry was without his glasses for about four hours. Leanne took him to get not one new pair but two new pairs for 160 USD. (Edit: It would have been 199 USD for a single pair but with the back-to-school special it was actually cheaper to buy two pairs! LC)
Harry and Leanne had a nice time drinking expensive coffee and sharing a muffin while they waited for the new glasses, which were ready in 52 minutes. (Edit: We went to Panera Bread, which was right next to the Eyemart Express, and both the cranberry muffin and the dark roast coffee were delicious! LC)
I got to work and Daisy and Magnolia got to watch Poppy
We spent the morning at the beach. The ocean was so warm that Harry and I spent quite a while, bobbing up and down on the waves. Then a slightly large wave crashed over our heads and stole Harry’s glasses.
