South Carolina Fun

We embarked on an adventure this weekend. We headed to the warmer clime of South Carolina to see our little Sophia get a name and a blessing on Sunday. First we had to get out of snow bound Ohio. We decided to head out on Thursday night and go half way, stop at some dive in West Virginia, then head out early to finish our trip. Ok, I'm just kidding about the "dive" thing. We actually had a nice room and the drive was good. Not too much bad weather anyway. We arrived at Craig and Amy's around 11:30 Friday. The weather was great! The best part was not seeing a drop of snow anywhere. I was a bit embarrassed because our car was so dirty from the drive. Everyone's car was sparkling clean...no white crud from snow and salt. Sat. we went to the Greenville Zoo. It's a cute little zoo and park. Then we stopped for lunch at the Mellow Mushroom for some pizza...hence the pic of the food below! MMMM...Sunday was a lovely day and we enjoyed going to their Ward . Afterward we went back to the house for lunch and Christina and Casey joined us. The weather so great that Ames and I even took a nice walk around the neighborhood later...all in all a great time! Thanks guys for the fun, nice weather, and wonderful family memories...Here are some pics that are different from the ones Amy posted on their blog. Sophia is a doll baby....so good. Of course Katie and Taylor are great and we had alot of fun with them. I will post some videos tomorrow of some of the antics that took place.
