Lets Start Spring Break 2008

WOW! I had a busy fun spring break w/ Rodney and his family! We actually started out by watching his dad graduate from ITT Tech..."WAY TO GO!!!!!!!!" There were a few family members that came to town to witness the big event...Grandpa from Texas, Grandma from Maryland, Aunt from Georgia, Uncle & Aunt & Cuz & little bean from Pennsylvania. They all stayed at various places, and came and left at different times. But ALL were amazed at Rodney's progress! He is such an a mazing little guy!!!!!!!

So the first official day of Spring Break came on Monday with a trip to the local theatre where we saw Dr. Seuss' Horton Hears a Who. We thought it was good...for a non-Disney movie ;)




We then came home to watch this little crazy girl play with a toy that countless kids have used over the past century or so.




The Upcountry History Museum was our second stop of the week. Here it is in pictures:





They loved to be pushed along the cobblestones.
