On Sunday we had our second
visitor, the other –ler, Tyler! Earlier that day I (Julie) had so gracefully
spilt a tray with Coors Light and Mr Pibb all down my front while also ordering
a Crab Dip instead of a Spinach Dip…it had been a long weekend to say the least
and I was so excited to have Tyler here!
Tuesday the sweeties and the –ler had a chance
to unwind and stayed at the bar after work and had a few drinks. We ended up
calling Handy Tax,i nicknamed “Happy” Taxi by Caroline, and our taxi driver,
Cookie, had some interesting stories to share, such as her DWI she earned in her
front yard because she was spinning donuts…we felt safe!
After we made it home, our next problem to
solve was how to get Caroline to work in the morning since all 3 of our cars
were at Castaway’s…oops. No worries though, Handy Taxi came to the rescue once
again and scooped Caroline to take her to work in the morning. Fred, the taxi
driver, told her to say hi to Momma who regularly utilizes him to get to work
and Miss Janice whose husband used to be a taxi driver. Momma and Miss Janice work in the Castaway's kitchen....
Tyler and I were also stranded
at the house but being the employee of the month that I am, our manager came
and scooped us for beach day on our mutual day off! After the beach, we hit up
Silver Coast Winery for a wine tasting with two regulars at the restaurant. I loved
trying all the wines and learning how they make them and the process they go
through. We even got to meet the winemaker himself, Dana!
I was loving the Cabernet
Sauvignon a little bit too much, though, but hey #YOLO…even if it means being
the drunkest at the vineyard. Next we headed back to Mainstreet Bar & Grill
for a yummy dinner which consisted of Ribs, Shrimp, and fries. Since Tyler was
visiting, we decided to be tourists and walked across the street to Super Track
Go Carts where I had the time of my life!! The owner is a local who frequents
the restaurant and somehow Tyler and I were the only ones there so we got VIP
treatment and got to ride longer than usual and I killed it leaving Tyler in
the dust. The best part was Tyler yelling out, “Give her a DUI” when I would
hit the wall on a turn.
After go-karts we headed over to
play some putt-putt at Fantasy Isle. It was no Broadway at the Beach with the
dragon, but it was still fun! To keep with being tourists at Holden Beach, we headed
inside for some ice cream after putt-putt. I settled for some delicious
Chocolate Peanut Butter. After our fun-filled day, we called the ever so handy
taxi and headed home.
Tonight the sweeties are taking
it easy and cheering on our Gamecocks! Unfortunately, when we first arrived home we had to kill a
cockroach and if y’all know us, you know that is no easy feat! Stay tuned for more
adventures to come and Go Cocks!
Our new pet:
