Myrtle Date Day - 126/365

Today was Jim and I's, Myrtle Date Day! 
Every year, my mom and Aunt Pam take Reagan for the afternoon, so Jimmy and I can go on a date! We love to go have lunch at Jimmy Buffet's Margaritaville and have a drink at his other restaurant, LandShark. This year, we decided to do the opposite. LandShark was slammed! It took nearly 45 minutes to get our food. There was a football team of 15 or so players that put their orders in right before us. So even though we just ordered pretzel sticks as an appetizer and some sandwiches, it still took forever. When we did get our food, it was delicious! We still like Margaritaville better for food though.
 After lunch, we were only a couple blocks away from Myrtle Manor, so we decided to drive over and check it out. We pulled in and found the "set" all the way in the back of the trailer park. We saw all the "famous" trailers and Tangulls hair salon. My mom, Pam, Ed and I were going to go the next day and really spend some time taking pictures, so we just kinda looked around from the car. As we were leaving the park, we spotted the souvenir trailer. Becky, the head of the trailer park, happened to be there selling shirts! I told Jim, we HAVE to get out and get a picture with her! We parked the car and hopped out. She was SO NICE! I asked, "can I get a picture with you?" She said, "Sure honey! I just got my hair did!" We chatted with her for a few minutes and she mentioned that, Roy and Gina were in the salon and told us to go say hello, so that's what we did. They were also super nice and it was surreal standing in that salon! LOL! Roy was actually in the middle of a hair cut! He came over, shook our hands, and was friendly as can be. He is one of our favorite characters on the show, so it was funny to actually meet him! 
After we left Myrtle Manor, we headed over to Broadway at the Beach to walk around and have our drink at Margaritaville. It was such a beautiful day! We popped in a couple shops and visited our favorite winery. Perfect afternoon with the hubby!
My mom and Aunt Pam had a fun day with Reagan. They took her down to the pools and lazy river. Aunt Pam even gave Reagan a mani/pedi! She was SO EXCITED! It was a glitter polish and when we got back and Reagan said, "mama, Pam gave me farkles!" She is such a little HOOT!
When we got back, we took Reagan down to play in the sand for a little bit and check out the inlet. She loved "digging in the muck" as she kept saying. Who knows where she got that! What a fun day!
