Today we spent the day with the Myrtle Manor Cast...LOL!
Jim and my dad went golfing, so Ed, Pam, Nana, Reagan and I drove down to check out Myrtle Manor. We all started watching it mostly because, it was filmed in Myrtle Beach. We all got hooked and watched every episode.
We arrived and immediately spotted Cecil, the trailer park owner, in the souvenir trailer. He was the nicest guy! He made you feel like you have been best friends forever. He just loved Reagan, too. He scooped her right up and didn't want to put her back down. We asked him what he thought of his new found fame and he replied, "well, I still take out the garbage." LOL!
Next, we headed to the back where the rest of the cast lives. We parked the car, hopped out and realized Taylor was washing his car in the driveway. His bulldog, Gus, was just walking around. He was pretty nice, but really only spoke when spoken to. Reagan got a kick out of playing with Gus! Although, Taylor was nervous he would knock her down. It was cute.
After we talked with him, we spent some time walking around the set and taking pictures. There was an old playground set in the yard that Reagan enjoyed. She got a kick out of going down the slide, even though it had two holes in it...LOL!
Cecil had said that most of the people work nights, so you have a better chance to see them between 1-3 in the afternoon. We had a few things we wanted to do at the mall, that's less than 2 miles from there, so we went to the mall.
Pam wanted to go in Belk, and Nana and I wanted to go to Gymboree. After the mall, we went over to Five Guys Burgers and Fries to have a snack before we headed back over to the Manor.
When we got back, we headed straight for the back. We noticed that Tangulls was now open, so we went in and Gina was in there cutting a girls hair. We chatted with her and asked if she would be willing to give Reagan a trim. She said sure, so we just plopped down an waited. We talked with her and she was super nice!
Gina doesn't live in the trailer park, but has known Becky's family forever. She had a SEVEN carat diamond on her hand! It was stunning! She was telling us all about how they film. She even pointed out things around the shop that were from the crew. It was really interesting!
Next up was Reagan! She had a kids chair she wheeled over and threw a peach towel down on the seat. She was telling us how the crew ruined the seat with some of their hot camera equipment. She has had the seat forever and was so bummed they ruined it. She puts the towel down so it doesn't pinch the kids legs.
Then, just as Reagan was getting in the chair, Miss Peggy walked in. It was a HOOT! There we are, sitting in Tangulls, hanging out with Gina and Miss Peggy all by ourselves. It was so fun!
Gina was so good with Reagan and talked with her the whole time! Her hair looks great and she even took the time to give Reagan a cute braid at the end! It looked adorable! Reagan sat perfectly, too!
After we were done, we headed back up to the souvenir trailer to get some goodies. It turns out Becky, Alyson and Jeana were there working. They were all super nice, as was the rest! Every single person, made you feel like you knew them forever! It was such a weird, but fun day!
After we got back, we got cleaned up for dinner and hit one of our favorites, Carolina Roadhouse!
The photo of the day is Reagan sitting in the chair for her haircut....
