Day 3-Waking up in Myrtle Beach

We slept in a bit Sunday morning and made our way to Surfside Presbyterian Church after breakfast. We were introduced to the congregation and Pastor Riddle gave a great sermon about not being lukewarm Christians. We were treated with wonderful southern hospitality as many people were so excited to welcome us both to the church and the Myrtle Beach area for the week.

After church we drove the short distance to the Holiday Inn Express, which would be our "home" for the next four days. We couldn't check in yet, so we parked the vans and walked across the street to "Broadway at the Beach". The best way to describe it would be an amusement park/outdoor mall with restaurants, a movie theater, and aquarium. We were on our own there to find a place to have lunch before checking into the motel around 3:00. A few guys decided to check out the pool/hot tub but didn't last long when the clouds started rolling in. The Kentucky-Baylor game ended up being the more popular option for all in the end.

Coach Snoeyink and Coach Boven went to check out the Ripken facility and reported back to the guys that it was "really cool!" We were all INSTANTLY excited to play ball.

We ordered pizza for dinner at night and watched the end of the Kansas-UNC game together in the motel lobby before going back to our rooms to chill (and send more texts).

Tonight's Wooden phrase: Make each day your masterpiece.
