Spring Break - Day 6

I didn't post yesterday because the day was pretty much spent driving back from Charleston. (BTW-the days of the week headers are messed up because I'm always posting after midnight.) There were hurricane watches and road closures due to fallen trees and the drive was the longest it's ever been from Charleston to Columbia, at least for me. We were all exhausted when we finally made it home.

Today was a lazy morning of watching movies and playing games. My sister and her husband took in USC and the state house, but the kids just wanted to relax. This afternoon, we went strawberry picking - something they don't get to do in Las Vegas - and drove around the temple. I love picking fresh South Carolina strawberries.

I had to throw in these two pictures of the hurricane that is my house right now. I love it because it means my sister is here. We shared a bedroom when we were little and it was always obvious whose side was whose. (BTW - she keeps a very clean house.)

The only thing I hated about today was the realization that they go home tomorrow. I love living in South Carolina, but I hate being so far away from family. Having them around makes the missing so much worse.
