Day 26 - Greenville, SC - Sunny Mid 50's:
What a nice day! We slept in very late waking up just in time to see Eric off as he headed back to Charlotte for work. Peg, Andrea, and I went out for a nice walk along the rail trail while Ben and Dave bonded over a bike ride. Upon their return we hung out around the house until we headed downtown to visit the shops and see all the Christmas trees. They have this AMAZING display. After walking around town we headed to dinner. It was quite a decision but we finally settled on sushi/chinese. Peg and I had the chinese while the three daring eaters had sushi. It was a great dinner. We came back and watched The Santa Clause (one of my favorites) before heading off to bed. Another great day with family!!
Day 27 - Jones Gap State Park, SC - High 60's in the sun...Low 50's in the shade:
So in an effort to burn off some of our Thanksgiving dinner, Peg, Dave, Andrea, Ben and I headed out to Jones Gap State Park for a little hiking. We planned to head to out to find some waterfalls and we did just that. The hike turned out to be a bit more strenuous than we had planned and I am most certain that Peg wanted to kill us about half way up the mountain. She and Dave paused for lunch a little before the end while Ben, Andrea, and I finished the hike. We weren't sure if they would make it all the way to the end but Peg ROCKED and finished the whole thing. We ate lunch at the falls before heading back down. Andrea, Ben, and I moved a bit faster than Peg and Dave giving Ben enough time to do a small hike off the trail that he had hoped to do on the way up. We all reconvened at the bottom and headed home. We were quite worn out. After a quick trip to Wal-Mart and the shoe store, Dave and Ben headed into town to pick up pizza and wings!! We all enjoyed dinner before an early night to bed!!
Day 28 - Greenville, SC - Sunny and 70: (no photos)
What a beautiful day!! Not a whole lot to report. Ben washed the car and helped Dave hook up Christmas lights while I worked on Christmas presents. Peg and Andy headed to the Gaffney Outlets! Peg returned and Andrea went back to Charlotte (we'll see her in Nashville for New Years Eve!!). We had a great dinner of leftovers and pork...it was so delicious. Other than that we just hung out around the house on our last day here. It has been so nice to visit with family that we never get to see and to relax from all of our driving. We are off to Charleston tomorrow though to see Kristin!!
