Well, we made it back home. After a THIRTEEN HOUR trip back from the SC mountains, no less. Oy vey.
The camping/hiking bit was great. We spent two days in and around Oconee State Park, in extreme far western South Carolina. Most of the time was spent hiking to waterfalls, mini-golfing, and chilling at the cabin. We have a lot of pictures that we'll try to get posted in the near term, but here are a few highlights:
- First hike was a long one, about 30-40 minutes to a great, 75-foot waterfall coming down a granite face.
- Second waterfall we never found, but we did drive the van off-road down a rough gravel path for about 10-12 miles into the South Carolina wilderness. I don't recommend this.
- In our first game of mini-golf, Jill opened with two consecutive holes-in-one.
- Still no hot boiled peanuts
- It's actually not easy to go through a dozen eggs in two days.
- The trip back today took thirteen hours because after about an hour of windy, twisty North Carolina roads, Liam threw up all over himself and the car seat. Jill and I spent about a half hour cleaning it all up on the side of the road. We drove about twenty minutes to the next town and stopped to wash our hands. Within literally 60 seconds, I am not making this up, Logan threw up. So we stopped AGAIN to clean up vomit. No further episodes, but it threw the whole thing out of whack.
So anyway, I'm not going into a whole lot of detail cause it's late. More to follow in the next couple of days.

I'm going to have to hook you up with some boiled peanuts.
Oh my. Poor Logan and Liam (and Jill and Jason). I can't imagine. But at least you made it home smelly -- I mean safely.
Actually, thanks to our mad cleaning skillz the van hardly stank at all. BRING IT, VOMIT. We'll TAKE YOU DOWN.
