Local restaurants= Villa Mare, Chesapeake House,Thoroughbreds and 3 lights past Brookgreen Gardens is The Mayors House( had great meal there a week ago).

Your son may enjoy MagiQuest at Broadway At The Beach.Husband might enjoy Masters(only kidding).

Do the back porch of Hamburger Joes for lunch.On your husbands birthday go to Crocodile Rocks for some good entertainment.

Your young girls might like their pictures taken with a tiger at Barefoot Landing.

If your husband golfs treat him to a round at World Tour or Tidewater.

Do miniture golf at Dragons Lair and Hooks.

We saw advertisements for a place called East of Chicago which is a pizza buffet where they also let the kids make their own pizza and then they have a big arcade to do afterwards. It seemed like fun but we never got around to doing it.

We also liked Logan%26#39;s Roadhouse. My 5 %26amp; 3 year old kids loved this place also. They give you a bucket of peanuts and let you eat them %26amp; throw the shells on the floor. They had a ball and my daughter wouldnt stop talking about it. They also had a nice menu and also had a basket on the table of yeast rolls which were great. Its not a fancy place but a great menu %26amp; fun atmosphere.

Also if you think your son would be interested in Japanese Hibachi where the chef cooks at your table (also performs funny tricks during the dinner show). My kids also liked this alot.

TONYMIK and Gingerr9708,

Thank you so much for the suggestions. I will be printing all of the replys and taking them with us. This forum helps me plan just about every trip. I don%26#39;t know what I would do with it. Thanks again. Keep the suggestions coming.

Your welcome. I forgot there is the Nascar Speedway on Business 17 if your son %26amp; husband are into the gokart type of thing. They do sell per ride or all day wrist bands but when we went there was a pretty good wait time. Just something extra to add onto your list of possible places to go.

Some other advice is to go to dinner around 4:00-4:30. After 5:00-5:30 places start to get very packed so this worked out really well for us when we were there.

Yes I second Nascar cafe and funpark....boys and men love it there! As far as places to eat...T-Bonz is great!

Thanks. The Nascar sounds like alot of fun.
