First of all I must thank you all for your comments on my Blog. I am truly delighted and amazed. Most of the comments were on the Oyster Burgers, instead of the actual content of the blog, but what the heck, if you are reading it and enjoying, then my mission is accomplished. Personally I thought I would get at least one request to borrow my new set of bolt cutters, but you comment about those things that interest you and what you have a need for.
One person has told me that they are going to take a trip to the Grayland area for their birthday; Sept 14. Happy Birthday Ann. As a birthday present she will be treating herself to an Oyster Burger, and of course a trip to Ugly Ed's. Another has indicated that he will also be taking a trip to the area and using my blog as a guide. Now this is just the purpose behind the introduction of this blog.
Not to get all puffed up though, because there was actually one individual who wrote "Oyster burger???!!! That sounds ... disgusting!!! " Not to worry, as she is a landlocked individual and has no idea as to the great tastes of fresh seafood.

Now, to get on with the trip;

Wednesday
DAY 4

Today is the day! All you can eat at the Shoalwater Bay Casino Seafood Buffet. We got up late, strolled the beach and then headed for Tokeland and the Shoalwater Bay Casino. I have no interest in their gambling, but I am a great fan of eating. So into the casino we go. We are greeted at the door by Security. First we must get the Shoalwater Bay Casino card, a credit card sized card with our names on it which proclaimed that we are now the proud members of the Players Club.
It also gave us the senior discount to the buffet.

In order to get to the buffet, we first had to wind our way through the smoke filled rooms of the slot machines. Ding! Ding! Dining, ding, ding! Bells and whistles were sounding at each machine giving the impression that each and every player was a winner. The expressions on the players faces told of a different story. Glassy eyed and comatose, they blankly starred at the whirling numbers or designs on the machine, anxiously awaiting their turn to win, which did not come during the time we were watching them.

After arriving at the buffet, we presented our cards and were handed two plates, a small one for salad and the larger one for the entree. A plump server touted the breaded shrimp. We loaded up both plates, multiple times. While the food was OK, I think I prefer the Oyster Burgers.

We finished up at the casino and headed for the beach for one last day of kite flying. Still no wind. Four days at the beach and not able to fly a kite once; now that's pathetic.
