Our Mini-Honeymoon

Well, we are back after a very nice time away that as expected came to an end much too soon! We actually instead of Columbia, went to Greenville SC. It is the mountainous part of the state. After becoming used to sand and flat, it was nice to see some mountains!
The kiddos had a great time at Allen and Jan's house and are actually wondering when they can go again!
We had rain every day, so that kept us from too much sight-seeing. Which was fine too. On Saturday we did another favorite thing of going to flea markets.

We had a very nice motel that I had never heard of, but would use again- Drury Inn. It was very nice and actually had free breakfast AND supper buffet that had good food, so we took advantage of that and only ate out once at our all time favorite- TGI Friday.


David's work phone unfortunately did have to come along. I did threaten to flush it, but he, as promised shut it off at lunch time on Friday after he had his drivers set for the day.


Our first day, we went to give one of David's old friends, Steve, a surprise visit at the barn shop he works at.
After that, we went to see some sights. I came very close to getting car sick on the cow path roads we were on, but it was worth it.
We went to a waterfall. We hiked in the drizzling rain to see it and were glad we did, it was pretty.
This was a very odd tree we seen on the hike.


Twin Falls- a 70 foot high falls




The other place we went was Sassafras Mountain. It is the highest point in South Carolina at 3,200 ft. altitude. On a clear day,(which is wasn't) you can see North Carolina ,Georgia and Tennessee.






Treyton was excited to come home and find a birthday box in the mail from Grandpa,Grandma and Aunt Anita Summy

Glad that you had a nice trip. I can't wait to show Dad these pictures so that he knows SC has something besides sand and palm trees (2 things that I don't mind but he does).
Lots of love and miss you all very much!!!
