The Adventures of Richard & Bronte.: greensboro and myrtle beach

Friday 2nd August 2013

Today we drove from Asheville to Greensboro to meet up with our friends Jade and Lance. It was only about 3 hours and we were going to meet Jade at work to spend some time with her at lunch. We met Jade and walked over to the mall where we ended up spending a couple of hours. We then went to Lance and Jade's house where we got ready to go out for dinner. We ended up going into the city and found a nice place to eat named Tavo. A couple of drinks later and then it was time to go. We needed to get up early on Saturday as we were driving to Myrtle Beach. We grabbed some cheesecake from downtown and took it back to Jades and ate it. Yummo!!

Saturday 3rd August 2013

Out of bed by 7.00 am and in the car by 8.00 am. It was going to be around a 4 hour drive to the resort and we wanted to make the most of the day. The trip was good and we stopped off for lunch just a few miles from Myrtle Beach. Once back on the road we got stuck in traffic for over and hour with less than 10 miles to go. It was frustrating as the traffic was hardly moving. Once at the hotel we checked in and then walked to the beach. It was about a 2 kilometre walk and it was probably not the wisest decision. We hit the beach and went for a swim and the water was awesome. The beach was packed out due to it being summer vacation here and hot. We then walked south along the main street near the resorts and we popped into a couple of bars and had some cheeky margaritas along the way. After a few hours we walked back to the hotel when we decided to have a dip in the pool. That evening we went to the Broadway area where we found a nice place for dinner. This area was only a couple of minutes walk from our hotel. We had a great night which was even better as Jade's birthday was on Sunday. So as soon as it hit midnight it was party time. That said we didn't stay out too late as we had a long day and were all tired.

Sunday 4th August 2013

Bit of a slow start today but an early morning swim for me. The others stayed in bed for a bit longer. Once checked out we went back across to the Broadway as we had not looked at the entire thing. Managed to find an awesome place for lunch (Carolina's) and then it was time to leave. We had to be back at Greensboro by 7.00 pm as we were going out for dinner with Jade, Lance and some family. We got back in time and then went to Green Valley Grill for dinner. The dinner was very nice and we got to meet Lance's sister in law Nandi. Tomorrow we head for Washington DC as we now make our way back to Detroit.
