Greener in Greenville...

This weekend we wandered up to Greenville, South Carolina. It's about two hours north of here and you can see the outline of the Blue Ridge mountains in the distance. It was one of those perfect fall weekends...cool, but not too cool, sunny and low humidity. And it turned out to be the "Fall for Greenville" fall festival...which mostly was a "taste of" kind of thing with lots and lots of booths selling food. Greenville has this amazing river walk with a cantilevered bridge and waterfall that's just gorgeous considering it's right in the middle of downtown. Kyle was in heaven with rocks to climb and water to splash in - plus the added bonus of hotel living! I even enjoyed the small town highway travel and found myself drawn to learn more about Ninety Six, South Carolina - which we passed in Greenwood county. I mean who names a town after a number???? As it turns out it was mistakenly thought to be 96 miles from the the nearest Cherokee Indian settlement...a miscalculation, but the name stuck. I would tell you more about what I learned on wikipedia.com, but you can look it up yourself!

Hope you have a great week!
