North Carolina

Wow, it's been a while. Unfortunately, the RV has been in the shop for warranty work since before Thanksgiving. That's a while. I've got three work weeks of working weekends, and we will hopefully have it back by then for some camping.

When we arrived back from Alaska, we began planning a trip to North Carolina. Jana's father is turning 80 years old, and we're going there for the celebration. So we bought airline tickets ($1300 For six of us roundtrip!), a rental car, and hotel for the first night. Being an outdoorsy type, I looked around and found a BassPro Shop in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina (Think Cabelas). I told Jana that on Monday, I was driving there. She said that was cool, as she'd like to go for the boardwalk. So everybody is happy! But wait, it gets better... On a whim, I checked locations for Captain George's. There's one in Myrtle Beach! Now you have to understand. Captain George's is the gold bar standard of Seafood Buffets. I have never found a place anywhere near as good. Rows and rows of serving tables. For crying out loud, in 2004 they served 1/13th of all the crab legs served in the world! My stomach hurts just thinking about it. And the variety of seafood! Oh man, I'm shakin' like a leaf...
