Shrimp a la Spartanburg


So here we are in Spartanburg, South Carolina.  Because motorhome people don't like to be hurried during their adventures, we turned that easy one-day drive from Alexandria into a leisurely two-day cruise, stopping for one night midway.  Next day, we pulled into our campsite here in the early afternoon, giving us plenty of time to get settled before heading to the local Red Lobster restaurant for a dinner of endless shrimp.

Oh, did we mention that our son is a server there?  This country may be teetering on a recession, but people are filling the tables for endless shrimp.  We know the restaurant manager, the bar manager, and of course that handsome young Mr. Chambliss, el server numero uno, and we still had to wait 15 minutes for a table on a Tuesday evening.


But how the wait was worth it.  We feasted on every type of shrimp dish Red Lobster prepares right now ... parmesan, scampi, coconut, alfredo, sweet and spicy, popcorn.  All of it was yummy.  The service, of course, was top notch, and we had a great time.  

It was good to see our son, and while we could have partied into the night, we all had to turn in early because the next two days had been set aside for Frank and Matt to golf.  We said our goodbyes for the evening, headed back to the campground, and turned in for the night, anticipating the next day's adventures.

Glad to see you made it to the Carolinas. Have fun golfing and I am sure there will be time to go to a certain local yarn stop while there. :)
