Vacation Was Wonderful and Much Needed!!

We did not realize how badly we needed a vacation.. This past week was absolutely wonderful and we thank God for allowing us to be able to go on a vacation. Six days of nothing but relaxation on the beach was a dream. We stayed at Garden City Beach about 20 min south of Myrtle Beach. We stayed in a beach house with my parents, my brother, my brothers girlfriend and her little girl Summer. It was a wonderful trip. This was the view from our beach house...

There really is not much more that I can write about due to the week just being full of relaxation. Josh did get his fishing license and fished with my dad. He attempted his Kyack but it was really more work than it was worth. Josh did get a lot of time to train for his upcoming triathlon in VA Beach. Ooooh! Wednesday we were all sitting out on the beach and around 4:30pm a guy came out and started fishing. Within a few minutes he had from what we could tell something rather large on his line. Long story short 10 min later he pulls in a 3ft baby hammer head. Needless to say I did not swim the rest of the evening.

An impromptu evening out led to one of the best restaurants I have ever eaten at in my life!! We decided to go to Rioz Brazilian Grill. It is an all you can eat type place, a little pricy but well worth it. You have a salad and sides bar you can go to and then when you get back to your table you have servers coming left and right offering you different cuts of meat that have been cooked on these huge skewers. This meat oh my gosh was cooked to perfection. Filet Mignon, Flank Steak, Top Sirloin, Sausages, Pork Loin, Chicken legs, Chicken breast wrapped in bacon, Filet wrapped in bacon, Lamb, Ribs and the choices went on and on. It is well worth what we paid and the experience was wonderful. If you are going to MB, SC anytime soon I definitely say hit it up. Supposedly there is one in the Fairfax, VA area. It is called Texas de Brazil. Not sure if it will be as good, but possibly worth a try...
