As I was eating I felt something hit the roof of my mouth. I can not get a better photo because of my stupid old camera (hint hint Dr. Hubby). This is a photo of a piece of metal (next to a pack of gum to show the size) that I put into my mouth and ALMOST SWALLOWED! Luckily I was blessed to feel it hit the roof of my mouth and I pulled it out. One end was curved and the other is VERY sharp. I freaked out. They had me fill out a report and actually tried to charge me for our drinks...they took that back REAL quick. I am fine. I just can't help thinking what would have happened had I swallowed it. I am thinking...surgery?! Yikes!
After that terrible experience I needed some retail therapy. I was so excited to look across the street and see Michaels! Ahhhhh...
And right next door was TJMaxx! Heaven! LOL! I bought the cutest Betseyville bag (Yes, another one). 
After our intensive retail therapy we hit Happy Hour at Sonic...I love BOGO!
Now we were off to the beach. It was cloudy, but it felt great! The water was great on my toes. That is as far as I go! LOL! I plopped down on my beach towel with my cell phone, watermelon slush, and Twilight....oooohhhh I was at such a good part!
After the beach we met up with my Mom, Lil Sis, and BIL for some mini golf. Then we picked up dinner to go at Outback. Luckily this meal was metal free, but it did kinda make me nervous. I hope that feeling passes.
On Sunday (Day #4) we (Minus BIL) drove to Myrtle Beach. We stayed at the Hampton Inn by Broadway at the Beach. It was very nice. We shopped at the Tanger outlets first. In the pet store a dog came up to Manga Dork and sniffed her purse's butt! She has one of those purses that looks like a stuffed Pug. It was hilarious! After dinner at Golden Corral (metal free again) we went to Broadway at the Beach. We shopped and played mini golf.
Manga Dork and RubyNan made a new friend in the Dept. 56 shop.
Don't tell BIL, but Lil Sis wouldn't quit hitting on the butler.
We were SO tired by the end of the day. I even got a little "crabby." LOL! We were the kind of tired that makes EVERYTHING....REALLY funny. We stopped for snacks at a Kangaroo gas station. The guy ringing up our goodies started singing about each item. He was in his own little hip hop world. I tried to hold in the giggle (my face turned red) and I laughed out loud. We giggled ourselves to bed at 2AM!
On Day #5 we checked out of our hotel and stopped at TJMaxx. I have been eyeing these collectible dolls for awhile and I finally broke down and bought a few. I bought several thanksgiving mice! Too cute!
We drove back to Lil Sis's for some last minute cardmaking and (unfortunately) packing. I have had a great time, but I miss my family. ALOT! We fly out at 9:35AM. The photo above is my niece, Morgan, in her new sweatsuit.
Happy Monday!

Wow - it's a good thing you were aware there was something metal in your food - I would have had a cow, right there in the middle of the place... seriously.
Glad you guys had so much fun. I'm going to have to check out these Twilight books ... you have me a little intrigued. :)
So you are on a low metal diet? Good idea. Glad you had such a great time. I am missing the beach with all my heart. m
that is my kind of vacation! (except for the metal in the food part!) relaxing, doing whatever you want, shopping, hanging out with family. PERFECT!! thanks for sharing!

That metal thing is scary!! So glad you didnt swallow it! APPLE BOTTOM JEANS!!!! YEAH!!!
A few years ago, we were eating at IHOP, as I was eating my salad I bit down hard on a box metal type staple. Can't even begin to tell you the amount of damage that I have endured over the years with that. They took the bill and we never saw it. They also paid for all my dental work that year.
Sounds as if you are having a great time on your vacation. I miss the beach so much...
Sounds like a fun and exciting day except for the whole metal in the mouth thing, yikes!
Fun pics too!
that metal is crazy. i can't believe it was in your food
