memorial day
It was nice to have an extended weekend for a change. This gave opportunity for “the kids” (minus Katie who we sorely missed) to come to Greenville for a visit. Their first real trip up here to visit Kristen and myself and see our home.
Thunderstorms. That seemed to be the theme of the weekend, but they manage to be mostly scattered, allowing us to find time to hit the road for a little visit to the mountains on Sunday. The only times it actually rained hard, were the times in the car while driving, so that worked out well.
We hiked little and had a picnic lunch at a waterfall that afternoon and returned to see some of downtown and have a nice pizza dinner at Barley’s.
Today, we hit the road again and headed due north towards Asheville. We arrived just in time for a nice brunch at Mayfel’s and walked up and down the sidewalks to different shopping venues. And of course we had to see the Thomas Wolfe House. It was a full day, with a trip to REI thrown in there.
We returned in time to head to Chin Chin’s for some Chinese food. The perfect way to end the weekend. Michael left this evening and Jenni will in the morning.
We had a great time! Thanks for visiting!
