While Eli was at Massanetta this week, the rest of us scooted to Columbia, SC overnight. (Eli's been before, so he didn't miss anything.)
We got a nice deal on a room with dinner included, plus two free passes for the zoo. (I figured since it was a family package, they'd comp us one child and one adult, but they comped us two adults, saving us $24; we of course spent the savings on souvenirs, something we usually forego save for a magnet.)
We went to Edventure on Saturday evening. Calvin found it overwhelming and only wanted to watch. It was a little young for Briggs. So, not the greatest experience, but okay.
We were at the Radisson, and the restaurant was Columbo's. Not the most family-oriented place, but they were nice enough. The pool was a big hit with the boys.
Sunday we went to Riverbanks Zoo before it got too hot. Lots of fun for all. Above, Briggs is milking a pretend cow in the petting farm area.
We finished the trip with Libby's friend Meg and 2/3 of her family for lunch. We bolted when a crowd of Spaniards descended on the place (compete with vevuzulas) to watch the World Cup final game.
Drive time from Black Mountain was 3 hours going down and 2:45 coming back (via Interstates), mostly because I dared to go faster on the way home.
