Columbia/Aiken trip

So each year Jimmy gets to go to one USC football game a year (again, my how things have changed). This past weekend was Jimmy's one game. Instead of sitting at home with Jimmy gone - the boys and I decided to visit everyone in Columbia and spend time with the Cook's before sweet Caroline's arrival.

On Friday I packed up the car and the boys and we went to the aquarium for some fun before the long haul. We met our friends the Clayton's there.

From the aquarium we picked up Jimirita from work (his office is practically next door to the aquarium) and headed to Columbia. We made great time and thanks to our fun aquarium adventure - James slept for part of the way (see pic above - haha).

Friday night we took it easy and Saturday morning we got up and headed to Riverbanks Zoo. For dinner that night we met up with Craig, Tricia, Hamilton, Zan and Hugh for a little bday dinner for Craig-ee-poo. The boys enjoyed wings, discussing Gamecock football and "shooting deer". Great day and night with fam!

We tried to talk Caroline into coming out to play :)

And on our way home we surprised Meme and Papa with a quick hello!

Great weekend filled with family, fun and football! :)
