The Date

For our 13th anniversary Cari planned an awesome date for the two of us. She found a place for each kid and we headed into downtown Greenville.

Cari got us a room at a nice hotel right on the river near Falls Park. Our room was a corner room that had windows all around and some great views of the river below.

After check in we started walking toward downtown, looking for some dinner. We hadn't made it more than a block and the rain started pouring down. Cari was prepared, as always, and opened up our umbrella. We waited out the worst of the storm under the awning of a store front while we watched several people get soaked trying to run across the street. Within ten minutes we were on our way again.

After loading up on candy at the General Store we decided we should get some dinner. We had a great dinner at Wild Wings and headed back to the park.

I had to stop at the room to drop off the ten pound bag of candy I was carrying when it started to rain again. I set up the camera gear and took a few pictures while it rained.

We finished our evening without kids back down at the park with some Starbucks coffee.

Cari and I don't often get a night out without our kids and we had the best time enjoying the quiet and spending time together. We did a bit of people watching while we were sitting on a bench near the falls. There was a photographer sitting in the mud taking shots of the falls for what seemed like TOO long. There was also the girl dressed up and in heals too tall for her. With every step, her ankle folded over. It was hillarious to watch her trying to look good while falling over.

The hotel was excellent, the park was great, the meals were tasty, and the company was the best ever! I didn't even get arrested for swimming in the falls naked! Woo Hoo!
