Greenville

Bob and I took a trip to Greenville the last couple of days so that we could spend some time together during his time off of internship and school and because we keep hearing it is a great area so we wanted to check it out.
They have an awesome downtown with a river park in the center that you can picnic at, walk around or bike. These beautiful falls attract many people to the park. There is also a suspension bridge so that you can walk over them and look down. That part was scary, especially because when there are other people on it, it moves.

We took a hike up in the mountains and this is on an overlook that peers down into the forest. All you can see is trees--no buildings, roads, anything.

I know this is not original, but I don't think I had ever been into a Krispy Kreme before. When the sign was flashing "hot now" Bob and I pulled over on a whim. We watched the donuts get their delicious glaze while savoring each warm bite of thousands of calories. It really was good :)

We drove by an area called pumpkin mountain and of course I had to take a picture because I love anything pumpkin.

We also were able to visit a local farm where only free-range, grassfed organic meat is raised and sold as well as organic vegetables and milk. It was really neat to see how close this was to the city and that more and more people are becoming aware of the food they eat and supporting local farmers. We have been trying to find some meat near us, but it is very difficult, so this farm was encouraging.

We enjoyed just hanging and seeing a new place, as well as all of the delicous food we got to enjoy. We toured both the Bob Jones and Furman campuses which are on opposite sides of town, and let me just say, have a really different feel. The Furman campus was the most beautiful college campus I have ever seen and has so many activities to do on campus that I don't know why anyone would ever leave. There are walking and biking trails, a lake, a vegetable garden, a rose garden, a Japanese peace garden, and much more. Bob and I enjoyed biking around the campus and seeing what it had to offer.

We have been blessed to be able to take these little trips and see so much of the southeast. There are such great pockets all over the place, with great people living in them and fun adventures to be discovered.
