Just got back from the "Ripken Experience Big Kahuna" tournament in Myrtle Beach.
Had lots of fun. Son's team really struggled at the plate and as a result only won one game. He played well and had at least one hit in all games except the last one.
The fields at the facility are artificial turf, same used by three MLB teams but can't remember which ones. The overall facility is new and needs to upgrade the volume of seating and the dusty roads. Many who come to the facility fly there and of course it is not convenient to bring chairs on the airplane.
As part of the package the boys have several activities they can participate in as time allows. Includes a real neat waterpark, a Nascar Speedtrack, several miniature golf courses and two par 3 golf courses. And of course the beach is nearby.
Below is slideshow of Cody's action shots at the tournament for anybody interested in taking a peek. Just click on the slideshow icon once you enter the site.

(Friends at the Utrip tourney in TN had to pay to get into each venue...) Heck even the weather was perfect. We had a slight rain delay Wednesday, but that was not bad at all. 
Glad they got to stay until Sunday. Several of our families did too. We had an obilgation over the weekend and couldn't stay. oh well.
