Monday, Jan 29, 2018. Day 5 of our snowbird vacation.

Melba spent the night with us. The next morning we went downstairs for breakfast. 

Melba wanted to see "old Myrtle Beach" so later that morning we took a ride. We showed her the Market Common (where the airfield used to be). We also checked out the Myrtle Beach Culinary Institute, where Angie & I have reservations for late February.

We stopped at Steak & Shake for lunch (there's one at the southern end of Myrtle Beach), Melba insisted on paying the bill.

We drove through old Myrtle Beach, and then visited with Melba at our hotel room, and she shoved off around 3:00 PM. I even had time for a nap!

That night we went to the hotel next door (Long Bay) for a "Snow Bird" dinner at Martin's restaurant. It was great, and we saw some friends we made last year. We'll be doing some stuff with them. 

It seems like all we did yesterday was eat!. (Not that there's anything wrong with that) Ang & I hope to get back to our regular exercise routines tomorrow.

PS We also stopped by the Myrtle Beach senior center and discovered that there won't be any shag lessons this year. So if we want lessons, they'll have to be at Fat Harold's. I'm still unsure how my back will hold up for the shag - I guess we just need to try it.
