I'd love to come, but we have a wedding Saturday night. We live in Greenwood county so the upstate is just a hop, skip & a jump away!!!

Please keep us posted for the next get together!

Fun! I want to come!!

We get home from Guatemala with our DS on 6/12. Depending on how he is doing and how we are doing we may try to come. We live in the lowcountry so the drive wouldn't be too long for us (depending on how ds takes to the carseat - ha ha).

My Aunt lives in the upstate and I went to college in the upstate so I have several people we could visit while we are up there. Perhaps we will make a weekend of it.

Will e-mail you if we need directions and are coming.

Thanks for planning this. It sounds great!!!!!
