A Day At The Fair

We like to try to get out of the apartment whenever possible.  We’ve always loved fairs, so we thought we’d check out the South Carolina State Fair in Columbia.  Allison’s mom came for a visit so we all jumped in the car and drove down there.  It took a little over an hour and turned out to be worth the trip.

When we first got there we thought that it was going to be a bust, but Allie found a map and we discovered all of the things we were missing.  Benjamin loved watching the livestock shows and both boys had a blast in the area that showed all of the old west stuff.  We thought it was a bust but we ended up staying until 9pm.

    We went to Gibby’s house in Wadesboro the weekend before we were supposed to leave to meet Nana and Peepop in Florida for Thanksgiving week.  We got to meet some of her friends … who are a real hoot. The table was lovely. She made way too much food. Everyone who was there probably could have…

    Not much happened after the lot was cleared.  There was a huge backlog at the permit office so nothing moved for about a month while we waited to make sure that we passed the perc test.  We’re going to have a septic system so this was the last test before we could get our building permit….

    Off to the Beach

    When I started working from home Allison and I started trying to decide where we might want to live.  By the way, when you can live anywhere you want finding a place to live is a very daunting task.  Anyway, one of the things that we decided was that we’d travel to places with Mom…
