Gorgeous Day!

We're in a warming trend. Yippee! This morning, it was especially toasty in the pool area, where I went to read and play WORDS. Like a sauna. A temporary situation, though, till the great outdoors caught up a bit.
River City Oceanside - photo by Joe
We did a bit of sale shopping at Belks, the local anchor department store, and then had a late lunch at the River City Cafe, a restaurant that is actually oceanside at Surfside Beach. They've two locations in this vicinity and we've tried both. Our favorite is this one on the beach, of course.
View From Our Table
Window seats put you almost to the ocean's edge; indoor-outdoor photo ops are fabulous. Al fresco dining is available on warmer days. 
Keep The Lights Down Low :-)
The cafe's theme is a wild one, representative of all who have ever graced its premises. License plates and guests' signatures abound. Actually, I'd be afraid to see the place, without its intentional graffiti. That's another story.
We Were Here
Joe thought to leave our mark, since we've visited both locations with some frequency. Can you find it on the naked skull??
Free At Last
After we indulged in the complimentary peanuts and our menu choices (try the mahi mahi), it was time for a beach hike. The best time of the day. Mambo was thrilled and feelin' his oats, free on the beach.
Yep, a gorgeous day.
