I heart the South.  We had so much fun visiting South Carolina, North Carolina and Tennessee and seeing faces and places that mean a lot to us.  Some highlights were:

• Eating Carolina peaches
• Climbing a mountain in the Appalachian's
• Swimming in a new pool at each hotel
• Pulled pork BBQ
• Counting tiger paws in Clemson
• Seeing very dear friends in Asheville, NC and meeting their kids
• Eating pizza at the Mellow Mushroom with Clemson friends
• The kids meeting their Tennessee cousins for the first time 
• Celebrating Tory and Spencer's beautiful wedding
• Hanging out with our Tennessee family that we don't see nearly enough
• Touring Johnson City and stopping at Dad's childhood home, Memaws grave and the English building at ETSU where Mom and Dad met
