My wife and I used to take our two girls to Myrtle beach for years! We haven’t been there over 2 years! We’ve never went to there boardwalk! Where heading back to Myrtle beach in August! Thank you for sharing your trip!
Myrtle beach is one of our favorite vacations and you all are my favorite youtube family! So it was sooo fun watching you guys enjoy MB. I’m glad you guys got to experience it and you even had fireworks to send you home. God bless you all!
I go to both Gatlinburg and Myrtle Beach on vacations so this is like a crossover episode for me. Love that you all hit up the same spots I like to go. Looking forward to your more in-depth videos, and also just wanted to say I love your channel!
Coffee does make everything better! We love the aquarium! There have been so many updates in the past 2 years! Wow! We had a blast at Myrtle Beach this past weekend as well! Great video! Very thorough! ❤️
Seems like theres no bad weather Going on right now in the other side of the world. Its so amazing places and just enjoying it all Wish everybody can just do the same fun! Fun! Fun!
Cool video. I have never been to Myrtle Beach. It reminds me a lot of the old classic Panama City Beach that we used to go to. Gotta check it out someday.
Great video.....I have never been to Myrtle Beach....but may try to go in the near future. The different mini golfs looked fun along with the Pirate show.
We are a little slow to comment as Hannah started school this week. We really enjoyed this overview video. It has a great combination of our favorite things and new things we haven’t done. Did you know that the Pirate’s Voyage in Myrtle Beach was originally Dolly’s Stampede years ago and was converted to the Pirate’s show. That’s probably why it’s shaped differently than Pigeon Forge. We attended Dolly’s Stampede in Myrtle Beach many years ago. Love that you had a chance to play Mt Atlanticus mini golf! That is such an awesome course! The other courses looked really cool too and we haven’t played the other 2 yet. There are sooo many courses! 🤪 We are looking forward to your future detailed videos! God Bless!
Our Hannah started school this last week too! Thanks for the suggestion of Mt Atlanticus! I didn't film that one in detail, but did get some vertical shots for a short to put together. I didn't know it was a stampede. We are actually doing the Pirates show here with some family coming into town next week. It will be interesting to see if we can find any differences in the show. Hope you guys have a great week!
Now I’m home sick. TY for going on this adventure. Makes me miss home even though I do live in the smokies now. Looking forward to the rest of your trip. 😊
Micah throwing sand! 😂 looks y’all had an amazing time other than the first night room issue. We need to get down there. Gotta check out the Florence bucees!
Enjoyed your video. I have been traveling to Myrtle Beach for the last 20 years and fell in love with the area. Golf, the beach and many attractions. If your family returns to Myrtle, I would highly recommend the restaurant call Flying Fish located at Barefoot Landing adjacent to the Alabama Theatre. Excellent food and a nice view of the Intercoastal Waterway. Enjoy your travels.
It looks like you had a great family adventure together. Like you all, Kim B and I love to play mini golf. They all looked very fun but the Ripleys one really looked fun. The Pirate show really looked like a great show. The Pirate show is the only show in Pigeon forge that we have not seen. Is the one in Myrtle Beach the same? Would you recommend it? It looked like you had a wonderful family adventure together. Good food Good fun Good times and great memories. Thank you for sharing your adventure with us. It is a blessing to see families enjoying being together. God's love is seen through how you enjoy life and how you love one another.. I am anxious to hear what Hannah thinks of crab. I love it!! I hope that she likes it alot better than pork rinds. 😂 keep pushing the plow brother. God bless you all.
I would say the stage is different but everything else is pretty much the same. We are actually going to the Pirates Show in Pigeon Forge next week with some family coming in town so I will be able to be able to see any differences after going to both shows within a few weeks of each other. Thanks for all your encouragement & support SMM!
Love Myrtle Beach. It’s funny, I was just in Pigeon Forge and I told my wife it’s Myrtle Beach, without the beach. But the Smokies are more beautiful honestly
Coffee is our favorite! Our favorite place is always Starbucks! We stop at our local Starbucks before we head out for vacation!! We even look for Starbucks in vacation! We love it that Disney has Starbucks!
Have a good time trip to Myrtle Beach 🏖️ Yes I remember that saw RUclips channel Brooks Bolt with girlfriend playing mini golf last hole to hard skinny course in hole. Hannah is beautiful painting on face so cute.❤
Ok if it’s a toss up for us going back to the smokies or going here what would you suggest? We were considering doing a trip on the blue ridge parkway.
I can relate about the Coffee except I love Carmel Cappuccino and I haven't been to the new Buckee's Sevierville location yet and I live in Sevierville. This Beach is on my to visit list though. I really miss seeing a Beach I used to live in Naples, Florida. It makes me home sick 😎🌴🏖️💖
I've always wanted to try Wahlburgers (90's Donnie fan here!) I had heard we are getting one here in PF, but haven't heard on where or when. Great video as always. - C
@@SmokyMtFaithFoodFun they put bible verses on the bottom of their cups. They established a new HQ in Nashville so I would guess we will eventually get one here in the Smokies.
Great video! We’ve been wanting to go to Myrtle Beach, but some feedback we received that has been either they like it or don’t like it! Lol! I guess we need to check it out like y’all did! Looks like the kids had a great time on the beach! How did you like it compare to Florida beaches? Sometimes it’s hard to beat that beautiful gulf coast! Thanks for sharing! 😊
We grew up on FL beaches and felt like the dirty myrtle wasn't the case for us. The north side of Myrtle was nice and the sand was pretty clean. There are some FL beaches that would rank higher for us, but this was not bad at all!
@@AdventureIsOutThere oh yes! I’ve never stayed there b’cuz they have live music till pretty late at Ocean Annie’s beach bar beside of it and I’m sure that resort isn’t peaceful, also the rooms looked small online and I’m sure that resort is used frequently by party goers and has a lot of wear and tear
What a great family adventure you guys had! I'm looking forward to all of the detailed videos soon. This was a great overview and preview of what to expect. So, what happened with the first place? Did they falsely advertise? Did you not fully research the place? We've done that before and ended up in a horrible place. Lesson learned and now we read tons of reviews, use Google street view to look at the surrounding area, etc. We're no longer fooled by the name "Executive Inn & Suites."
A family member shared points that we could use for a stay that when Brie looked it up seemed to be 50/50 on reviews and sounded like it would be "ok". The place wasn't like the pictures and our room was pretty rough. Thankfully we were able to snag the Airbnb we did last minute. It reminded us a lot of Disney's Old Key West. I think DVC has spoiled us...lol!
@AdventureIsOutThere "Ok" might be passable for a one night stay, like just to sleep before a flight the next morning. But, for a week? We're going to splurge on a nicer room and work it into our budget. Yeah, DVC spoils you, doesn't it?!
The pirate in the middle of the two guys lives right around the corner from me! I always see him at the gas station and wondered what he did because he always has nautical themed jewelry on. I have my answer now.
We are 2 Germans going on holiday to the east coast in September. Is Myrtle Beach the best choice or maybe Virginia Beach? What would you recommend. Greetings Guido
We haven't been to Virginia Beach yet but we really enjoyed Myrtle. The sand was soft and the water was nice and clear. We've heard that September is a nice time to go there as the crowds are a bit slower. Enjoy your holiday!
@@AdventureIsOutThere Thank you so much, let's go to Myrtle Beach then. we have crowds of people here in Germany on every corner. Small country but crammed with people. That's why I actually enjoy the country, the nature and the vastness in the USA. NY, LA, Chicago, SFO okay, but I prefer the small places.
Awesome trip, was that an optical illusion but when you all were at the beach at the beginning eating on the beach, we’re both of the sisters there it looks like Hannah was wearing the same clothes as maybe the other sister, I knew the older sister did not join you all much ?
She was always with us on this trip. I just do my best to not point the camera in her direction per her request. They did have some matching outfits and often have been asked if they are twins.
The reason why I ask is we come from California. And my wife loves Nashville Tennessee because it looks the same a lot of the same shops. Is it the same in South Carolina?
Oh, I see. I was wondering where she always is in the videos. Looks like ya'll had a great time. Can't wait for the other videos. I've never been to Myrtle Beach so it''s going to be great to watch the videos.

I love staying away from Myrtle beach!
I save time and money, stay out of trouble for starters; Never been shark bit or drowned, or shot.
NORTH BEACH IS SO MUCH QUIETER...and The Hotels are SO MUCH BETTER 😍
We have heard that from many others...thanks Gitr done!
Loved how you summarized your vacation week. Looking forward to more vlogs. Great coverage and thanks for sharing.

Awesome! I am going to Myrtle Beach in October for my son's Fall Break. I love Myrtle Beach!
Hope you have a great time in OCT!

Great video. Now I want to go to Myrtle Beach. Looks like you had a great time and the kids got lots of beach time.
Having been to many FL beaches, it was fun to visit Myrtle Beach for the first time! The kids really enjoyed bodyboarding!
Myrtle beach is one of our favorite vacations and you all are my favorite youtube family! So it was sooo fun watching you guys enjoy MB. I’m glad you guys got to experience it and you even had fireworks to send you home. God bless you all!
Thanks Synnixty....that means a lot and we appreciate your support!
Looks like everyone had a great time while visiting Myrtle Beach! Hope you all come back soon for another trip!
It's the closest beach from where we live in TN, so I am sure we will be back someday!
@@AdventureIsOutThere Makes sense. I went to high school and college in TN, good times!
We just came from Dollywood and now we are going to myrtle beach
Enjoy!
Dollywood is definitely really beautiful and worth every dollar 💵

That zip line mini golf place looks so fun!!
It was a very unique and fun mini golf course!

Cool video. I have never been to Myrtle Beach. It reminds me a lot of the old classic Panama City Beach that we used to go to. Gotta check it out someday.
It has a nickname of dirty myrtle. Where we were was nice & clean. We hope to go back more often!
