Nathan & Dad's Big Adv. - Day 5

SURFSIDE BEACH, SC - Started the day out by doing a little local geocaching (www.geocaching.com/about). Scouted 9 sites, but stopped after 5 finds and 1 DNF. It was time for lunch. Gotta eat!

Then we went to the beach where Nathan met a friend (Alex, 8) who was visting his grandpa. They clicked like anything and he forgot about dad. That was cool. Alex even gave Nathan some skin boarding (?) lessons.

When we finally left the beach, we went by the open mic night that Mike (Bug) was hosting. Unfortunately, he'd broken his finger and wasn't able to play. We would have seen him play quite a bit since there was only one other musician who showed up. There was a comedian who made his rather brief debut tonight, but he only told one joke and said he'd exhausted his material. He'll have to work on that if he's going to make it in show businesss. (video available upon return)

I ended up going bowling with this struggling stand up. He didn't do badly and I think he's looking into some physical comedy ideas to supplement his limited repository of jokes.
