Greenville, SC

We've been a little bit neglecting with the blog lately as usual.  Our days have been filled with just trying to keep up with what life has been throwing our way.  Obviously, much has occurred since our last post so we will try catch everyone up. In May we (Stephanie, Jody, Abby and Grammy) took a trip to Greenville, South Carolina to attend a wedding.  We had a great time celebrating with our friends Josh and Katie Beth as they tied the knot.  It was also a milestone for our big girl, her first flight!

Josh was a brave soul and sat next to us for the ride since we ran into him at the airport.  Abby did pretty well on the flight.  Stephanie, however, did get to experience changing a diaper in an airplane bathroom which she doesn't recommend if you can help it.

Bye Bye, Texas.

Staying entertained during our layover.
Enjoying the ride!
We made it a four day weekend so we could enjoy some of the Greenville sights and we were not disappointed.  Having never been to that part of South Carolina we were unexpectedly impressed.  The main street in downtown Greenville was quite lively and there was plenty to see and do.  A river that runs through town and a curved suspension bridge help create great outdoor spaces.  We had a good time exploring downtown and dining at a few good spots.

We attempted to take Abby to the wedding and as soon as it began she decided to let her presence be known.  Grammy did a fine job of entertaining her during the ceremony and we were all back together soon for the reception.

We had a great time at the party in the evening while Abby and Grammy played back at the hotel.

All in all, we were so glad we made the trip and thrilled for our friends as they begin their life together. 

Next post coming soon... Summer Fun!
