Vacation Part II (Greenville/Clemson, South Carolina)

For the second leg of our vacation we drove to Greenville, SC to meet up with some friends. Friday night (September 2) we stayed at The Foret's House (my Lake Charles friends: Jon, Shane, Emma 2 year 6 months and Raley 11 months). They were so wonderful for letting us take a glimpse of their lives all the way in SC. Their home is precious and their family even cuter. They will be moving back to Lake Charles this coming summer as Jonathan finishes up his Orthopedic residency. Isabel had an absolute ball hanging out with Emma, and Shane even provided them with matching princess gowns. The adults got to enjoy a night out in downtown Greenville eating at Pomogranite and then after dinner drinks at a local bar.

Saturday (September 3) we headed to Clemson to enjoy some quality time with Jon Hungerford. We also got to take a glimpse into how he spends most of his weekends during football season. His spacious and very comfortable condo is right across the street from the Clemson stadium. We tailgated most of the day and then gambled in taking Isabel to her first football game. Phillips was apprehensive and I was optimistic! She LOVED every second. Jon graciously gave us tickets right in front of the cheerleaders on the first row!!! So you can guess how the girls spent most of the game....thats right practicing cheer moves and imitating the cheerleaders, while the boys were behind us going back and forth in watching the game and picking out the cute cheerleaders. After the Clemson game, we watched the Ole Miss game and LSU game on the big screen at Jon's place. It was a perfect way to end our vacation! Sunday, we made to drive home.....the whole way to avoid weather on Monday from Tropical Storm Lee.
Go Clemson TIgers!!!
