We just got back from our trip to Myrtle Beach/ Richmond, and the Minor League All-Star game. Yes, there was baseball, but there was other goodness too. Myrtle Beach is known for its massive amount of top-notch golf courses. What you don't really hear about, however, is the mass amount of miniature golf courses. AMAZING miniature golf courses. This first picture is the course we chose to play over those on the north, east, and south side of the same intersection.
The other spat of coolness was Hard Rock Park, where the All-Star gala was the night before the game. There was the "Whac a Boy Band" game, the whirling taxi cabs in the land called "British Invasion", and the Hard Rock VW Bus (documented here for my sister). I did have to explain to Derrel what "Abbey Road" was, but if there's no fiddle or verses about tractors, D can't be held responsible for his musical knowledge. Then of coures, the Waffle House. I realize this is not just an East Coast phenomena, but we didn't really have anything smothered in gravy all week, so we had to make up for it somewhere.
And lastly, the Richmond Braves. When we popped into Richmond, we took in a minor league game up there. They have this statue climbing out of their concourse.
It only graced my dreams for a few consecutive nights thereafter.
