The house we had was just outside of Lexington, SC (about half an hour from Columbia, SC) The house was absolutely gorgeous! There was a huge master bedroom downstairs, two bedrooms upstairs, a well equipped kitchen, a TV room on the main level and then a huge game room downstairs. We had plenty of books, games, video games, movies, and even air hockey to keep us occupied inside. Both the main level and the lower level had their own deck area with picnic tables, a grill upstairs and tons of chairs and the most wonderful hammock in the whole world. There was a long deck leading out to our own section of the lake, and it even had two kayaks and life jackets. Did I mention the house was great?
We spent a lot of time relaxing, reading, watching movies, sleeping, just being content doing nothing but hanging out. Noah had a lot of time hanging out with grandma (you have to check out the video of the Shell Game). Everyone (except me) even did some swimming and a few of us took the kayaks out. Even Noah went swimming and road in the kayak with Mama!
On Thursday we went to Charleston (about a two hour drive) for the day. We got to check out a lot of history and walk parts of the town. Sorry, no pictures for there, I was too busy trying not to melt. South Carolina is gorgeous, but it was HOT! and HUMID! I'd go back anyway, though ;-)
All in all, we had a great time. I was bummed to come home on Saturday and could have used about at least another week of just relaxing. We are really looking forward to next year...
