Palmer Weekend.



Last weekend Mama and Papa Palmer came out to have the true Clemson experience. We had a blast and showed them everything our little corner of the world had to offer. We visited the falls, drove around the lakes, looked a lake houses, explored the curious, forgotten mill town of Newry, ate at Mac's drive-in and the Esso club, visited Biltmore, shopped for maternity clothes (thanks, Dad!), went to a basketball game, explored Greenville, and just had a wonderful time. My brother-in-law, Nathan, had a lay-over in Atlanta about the time my parents were leaving town so we all met up for dinner in downtown Atlanta at Gladys Knight's restarurant. It was amazing soul food. (Fried chicken and waffles, anyone?) I think we were the only white people there... a good sign, I'd say.

Picnics, I love picnics! It looks like you had such a fun time with the Palmers. I would LOVE To try soulfood.
PS. I love the pregnancy countdown on the side of the blog. That baby is so cute floating around.

That is so cool that you were able to meet with your brother in law in Atlanta! You are brave, I don't dare leave an airport... I had a 6 1/2 hour layover in Miami and we just walked around the airport, had something to eat and the kids watched a movie, played games and took naps...

Just think of the blogging possibilities when the Luce and I show up for a week....that'll be great, great times. Can't wait!! In the words of sweet baby James, "I'm gone to Carolina in my mind..say nice things about me 'cause I'm gone..."
