South Carolina - With Pictures!

From November 22 - December 13th I was in South Carolina with Travis to meet and greet his family.  It was a beautiful area with rolling hills, lots of trees, and even a few flowers left for me to enjoy.  (In November!!!)


These are Gerber Daisies from Travis' mom's garden.  Can you believe they look that good that close to Christmas???


We went on lots of hikes, visiting Riley Moore Falls:


Which was gorgeous.  You have to hike down into it, which was different that what I was used to.  The few falls that I had walked to before were all in Alberta - and you always walk UP to the waterfall, and then back down to civilization.  Not so at Riley Moore!


This is from the same day.  After we finished at the Riley Moore falls we still had some time so we walked the Brass Town falls.  They are a collection of three waterfalls - this particular picture is me in front of Middle Brass Town (AKA 2 of 3)


The people that I met were wonderful, and the food was also wonderful.


This is a "low country boil" also known as a "frogmore stew".  It doesn't have frogs, and isn't a stew... but meh, there are stranger names in Canada.  It includes baby potatoes, corn on the cob, sausage, shrimp, and crab legs.  It was DELICIOUS!

Isn't this picturesque?  I'm a little sad that the review mirror is in the way - but I figure the picture turned out pretty well considering I was riding in the back of a Jeep while it was moving trying to take the picture.  Such a gorgeous part of the USA!


Had a blast!  Miss everyone there already!!!  Hugs!
