Medieval Times

One of the many tourist attractions in Myrtle Beach was a place called Medieval Times. It's a dinner and show with horses and lot's of theatrics and sword fighting. Zac and I had been to one similar when we went to Tennessee, except that it was called Dixie Stampede..but it's the same idea. We contemplated taking the boys...but found out it would have been $170 to take the 4 of us!

Anyways, when we were walking around the shopping center the previous night, we stopped in to talk to a lady selling discount tickets to local attractions. She told us we could all get into the Medieval Times show for $40..and all we had to do was give them 90 minutes of our time to do a tour of their facility. Well, we knew it wasn't really that simple, and that we would have to listen to their time-share spiel, but for the sake of our kids, we decided to sacrifice our time to get the discount! We went early the next morning, and all we had to say was that my mom owned 4 time-shares and really needed our help to use them, and we never have to spend money on our accommodations! After that...they really didn't even try to sell us anything. One guy did try to tell us that coming just for the discount tickets was "highly frowned upon"...well..why else to people come anyways when that's their whole marketing strategy! Anyways, we did spend 90 minutes of our time, but got our tickets and felt that in the end that the savings was worth it.

The gang...we left Rachel home with my mom that night!

This was our knight fighting that we had to cheer for

The boys with the Blue Knight!

It was fun to take the boys here and see the show. There was plenty of fighting to keep them entertained. They also were surprised that there were no utensils for our meal!
