One more year down...

Jake took his first board exam and has officially finished his second year of medical school!! We decided to celebrate by packing as much fun as we could into his one week off.  Friday night we went to DC to watch the Yankee's play the Nationals.  The Yankee's won and we got to cheer for Bryce Harper so it was a very fun night! 

We then drove to Philadelphia to stay with my cousins.  It was so fun to be able to hang out with family and go boating and shopping in the burrough. 

On Tuesday we drove down to Myrtle Beach.  It was a blast to be able to hang out with Kristen and Jason and their family.  We loved swimming in the ocean and the lazy river at the resort.  Every day at the beach the lifeguards called us out of the water because of shark sightings!  There were 4 shark bites in Myrtle Beach the week we were there!!  Luckily we never saw one. 

Kristen's dad took us boating on the waterway it was so pretty I felt like it was straight out of a movie.  But apparently the waterway is where the alligators hang out.  Luckily we only saw this fat one that was too lazy to chase us!!

Just kidding we saw this alligator at Brookgreen Gardens.  It was really neat to see all the native plants and animals of South Carolina at this park.  There were also neat sculptors. 

This is us at the Pirate Dinner show it was a really fun show. 

We had so much fun mini golfing, getting late night treats at PF Changs, shopping, swimming, and hanging out with the Meeker's we never wanted the week to end!!

Jake had  been craving Southern BBQ food all week so one night we asked around to find the best place.  Well everyone kept giving us the same answer... Prossers... a buffet.  So that should have been our first clue that we wouldn't love it because we are NOT buffet people but we decided we needed the true southern experience so we found this hole in the wall place.  It was super crowded and everyone seemed to be enjoying it so we were still hopeful.  Our favorite thing in the buffet turned out to be the iceberg lettuce... not a good food night. 

But luckily for me Jake felt so bad about picking that place he said he would take me to wherever I wanted to go the next night.  I jokingly said The Melting Pot and for some strange reason he agreed.  I was so excited!!  The food was amazing and I had a lot of fun eating most of the dessert plate since Jake filled up on the meat!
