ooh, Burns!: March 2015

Last weekend my family came up to Greenville for a short visit. The original plan was for my parents to drop off Jacob and go off for the weekend for their 30th anniversary, but due to some last minute changes, they ended up staying with us and all leaving on Saturday night. So, instead we got some good family time in.

On Friday night, we went downtown to pick-up our race packets and then ate dinner at Antonino Bertolo's. Mom, Jacob, and I split a pizza and dad got the ravioli. It was quite delicious! None of us had been there before so it was a good experience for all!

Then, on Saturday, Jacob and I ran the Reedy River 10k in downtown Greenville. It was a blast and it felt good to be (slowly) running that type of distance again! Jacob, the sweet brother that he is, ran slow with me the entire time. And since we were going sooo slow, he had to entertain himself while running. This involved a lot of talking, doing basketball drills when we ran past cones, and jumping over poles. It was 6.2 miles of entertainment to say the least! After the run, we went and had brunch at Waffle House. It's starting to become our Saturday morning tradition when the whole family is together in Greenville.

After a quick clothing change, we headed up to Pretty Place, the chapel at YMCA's Camp Greenville. That was a first-time experience for all of us as well. It truly lives up to its name! Jacob had quite a bit of fun, since he pretended to kick dad off the mountain. He then tweeted a picture of attempting to kick dad, saying 20 retweets and he'd do it. Lucky for dad, he only got 12 retweets. (Although, dad did enjoy confronting all the youth at church on Sunday about trying to get rid of him!)

On the way back home, we decided to catch one more scenic view and stopped by Bald Rock for a bit. Jacob mentioned hearing some water, and mom found the cute little stream.

We packed a lot into one Saturday, but it was an absolutely gorgeous day to be outside and enjoy time together as a family!
