Amusement parks

Anybody here ever traveled to Myrtle Beach, SC and visited the Pavillion? Believe it or not, it is closing this year.

THE MYRTLE BEACH PAVILION has been entertaining generations of families for more than fifty years. An 11-acre playground by the sea, The Myrtle Beach Pavilion features more than 40 spectacular rides ranging from a large variety of kiddie rides to the Hurricane Category 5, the biggest, baddest roller coaster in South Carolina

MB Pavillion

I think it is just the trend. The older parks are going out & replaced by large "theme" parks. Is that the case in other states too?

The signature attraction of MB Pavilion is the "Hurricane" roller coaster.

Posted by: carolinagal, 3:26 PM GMT on July 04, 2006

I have enjoyed seeing the different festivals. (See previous blog.) Please continue to include those in this blog also. THANKS!

I came across this recipe. I haven't tried it - but with two kids (and a few borrowed ones most of the time), it would be a hit. recipe from BrightIdeas.com

What do you think? I love Snickers.

Happy Fourth to everyone.

Everyone will love this slice of Americana at your Fourth of July picnic. It's a tasty way to celebrate Independence Day!

2 16-oz. family size frozen pound cakes, thawed
1 cup blueberries
1 ceramic dish (8-1/2 x 11-inch)
